Based in the Peterborough & Cambridge area, whilst leading and developing a team towards planning excellence, you’ll ensure the project plan and programme are kept on track with any mitigating circumstances successfully overcome.  By using your knowledge and expertise in planning, you’ll build the trust and confidence of key stakeholder by delivering project updates backed up by value- added data which can contribute to delivery improvements as we progress

• Strategic Planning: Interrogate the programme and identify areas for improvements, increased productivity, risk reduction, minimise carbon, and potential issues across the whole project.  Use this detailed understanding of the programme to deliver strategic planning decisions.
• Health & Safety: Ensure that the project plan allows delivery of excellent health and safety performance and all activity aligns with our mantra of ‘Nothing is so important that we cannot take the time to do it safely’
• Communication and quality of plans: Develop the resource planning against the project and programme needs ensuring the critical path and key activities are detailed to the team and key stakeholders through data and reports as required.
• Collaboration/ Stakeholder management:  Form collaborative relationships with the project key stakeholders and others within the programme, and balance the competing tensions of time, cost and quality to successfully deliver outcomes.
• People/ team development: Create an environment where the team are supported, yet challenged, to develop themselves and the team capabilities to deliver an industry- leading planning facility.
