• Reviewing subcontractor programmes against the master schedule


• Supporting reporting, lookaheads, milestones, and progress updates


• Assessing the impact of delays, change, and programme issues

What we’re looking for

• Experience as a Planner or Lead / Senior Planner


• Strong track record on data centre or mission-critical projects


• Very good Primavera P6 skills (great if you had experience in Synchro 4D)


• Good understanding of construction sequencing, programme logic, and progress tracking


• Experience across CSA, MEP, and/or commissioning


• Comfortable in a busy project environment with lots of moving parts


• Strong communication and reporting skills

Good fit if you’ve worked on
