Preconstruction Planner

My client is offering a Preconstruction Planner position based in Ipswich, working across a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, education, healthcare, industrial and conservation projects. This Preconstruction Planner role offers variety, influence and early-stage involvement, giving you genuine ownership of programmes, methodology and sequencing before projects reach site, with the backing of a well-established regional contractor.

In this Preconstruction Planner role, you will be involved from bid stage onwards, producing detailed preconstruction and tender programmes using Asta Power project, developing logistics layouts and sequencing drawings, and compiling written construction methodologies that clearly demonstrate how projects will be delivered. You will also support live projects by identifying critical paths, assessing programme risk, preparing reports and presentations, and collaborating closely with project teams, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure programmes are robust, realistic and well communicated.

This opportunity would suit a Preconstruction Planner who enjoys using planning software as a strategic tool, applying a strong understanding of construction methods, sequencing and processes, and interpreting drawings, specifications and contract documentation to add value early. It will appeal to someone who likes working collaboratively, managing their own workload, and using analytical thinking and attention to detail to solve problems before they arise, with exposure to NEC and JCT forms and modern preconstruction practices.

What you can expect in return includes:

Competitive salary, dependent on experience
Company vehicle or car allowance
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Pension scheme, life assurance and health & wellbeing initiatives
