An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Junior Construction Planner to join a leading contractor delivering major (£100M+) mission‑critical projects across the UK and Europe. This is a rare opportunity for someone early in their planning career to work on complex, high‑value projects while receiving hands‑on training and mentorship from experienced planners.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond basic programme updates and develop a real understanding of how projects are built, sequenced, and delivered on site. You'll be working in a fast‑paced, technically demanding environment where planning plays a key role in successful project delivery.

The business places strong emphasis on development, offering a clear progression path into Planner, Senior Planner, and Planning Manager roles.

• Supporting the development and maintenance of construction programmes
• Assisting in aligning programme logic with site activities and installation sequencing
• Working closely with project managers, engineers, and site teams
• Helping track progress, update programmes, and produce reports
• Supporting the identification of programme risks, delays, and coordination issues
• Gaining exposure to BIM models and 4D planning tools

• Experience in construction planning or a relevant degree (Construction Management, Civil Engineering, etc.)
• Basic understanding of construction sequencing and project delivery
• Exposure to planning software such as Primavera P6 or Asta Power project
• Strong willingness to learn and develop within a fast‑paced environment
• Good communication skills and a proactive mindset
