Senior Planner / Planning Lead (Asta Powerproject)
Major PBSA Development
Central London
£90,000 to £95,000 + Package
A leading international contractor is seeking an experienced Senior Planner / Planning Lead to join one of London's most significant construction projects. This is a rare opportunity to become involved at the preconstruction stage of a landmark redevelopment that will deliver almost 2,000 student rooms across multiple high-rise buildings, together with extensive amenity space, public realm and support facilities in the heart of Central London.
The Role
Initially operating within the preconstruction team, you will spend approximately 12 months developing and coordinating the integrated delivery programme, construction strategy and procurement sequencing before transitioning into a project-based Planning Lead role during construction.
You will take ownership of the project's master programme, working closely with internal teams, consultants, subcontractors and client representatives to ensure successful programme development and delivery throughout the project lifecycle.
