An excellent opportunity awaits a project planner with strong commercial experience in the infrastructure or utilities sector, looking to develop their career within complex, high-profile programmes. This role sits within a growing consultancy offering genuine exposure, responsibility, and progression.
This company is a growing digital consultancy operating across major infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on the digital tools and technology they develop to strengthen project controls in highly regulated sectors.
In this role, you’ll be embedded within a complex infrastructure project, supporting the planning function across multiple workstreams. You’ll work with the wider planning and project controls team to maintain schedule integrity, ensure risk and dependencies are properly reflected in the programme, and provide stakeholders with a clear view of delivery progress. This role is hybrid, based 3 days on-site in Nottingham and 3 days remote.
