Excellent package flexible working

Hays Construction are working in partnership with a well-respected, Tier 1-capable main contractor to appoint a Senior Construction Planner, with a clear pathway to Planning Manager, based in Glasgow. Our client is a financially secure, well established Scottish contractor with the capability to deliver complex projects up to £50million across a diverse portfolio including public‑sector, commercial, residential and infrastructure related schemes.

Backed by a strong balance sheet and a robust forward workload, the business offers long term stability and a mature, flexible working environment that empowers senior staff rather than over managing them.

Leading programme strategy across multiple sectors and procurement routes
Providing planning leadership and challenge to project teams and senior stakeholders
Managing risk, critical path analysis, change and impact assessments
Supporting and mentoring junior planners as the function continues to grow
Playing a key role in the evolution of planning standards, systems and governance

Strong experience in a Senior Construction Planner or Planning Manager role with a main contractor
Proven capability delivering complex programmes, ideally on projects £20m
Strong working knowledge of planning software (e.g. P6, Asta Power project)
Excellent communication skills and commercial awareness
Ambition to influence strategy and progress into (or operate at) Planning Manager level

What you'll get in return

Flexible working arrangements aligned to a mature, trust based culture
Clear progression opportunity into a Planning Manager role
Long term job security with a financially robust contractor
The opportunity to work on major, high profile Scottish projects
