• Lead on progress updates, critical path analysis and programme reporting
• Support change management, forecasting and mitigation planning

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience as a Senior Planner (or Planner operating at senior level) using Primavera P6
• Previous experience working for an engineering contractor (essential)
