Looking for a planning role where you can really get your teeth into a project?
We're looking for an experienced Senior Planner to join our team at HMP Hindley, playing a key role in the successful delivery of a significant project with around three years of work ahead.
This isn't just about one project. With a strong pipeline of opportunities developing across the region, it's a great time to join the team and be part of what comes next.
The role
As Senior Planner, you'll work closely with our project and operational teams to develop, manage and challenge the programme, helping us keep delivery on track.
You'll take the lead on:
- Developing and maintaining robust construction programmes
- Working closely with project teams to plan sequencing and key milestones
- Monitoring progress and identifying risks, delays and opportunities
- Challenging the programme and helping teams find practical solutions
- Producing short and medium-term plans to support site delivery
- Providing clear programme updates and reporting
- Working collaboratively with our supply chain to understand and manage dependencies
- Supporting change management and programme impact assessments
- Bringing planning expertise into project decision-making
What we're looking for
We're looking for an established planner who understands the realities of delivering complex construction projects.
You'll bring:
- Strong construction planning experience
- Experience developing and managing detailed project programmes
- A good understanding of construction methodology and sequencing
- Confidence working closely with operational and commercial teams
- The ability to identify programme risks and turn them into practical actions
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to challenge constructively
- A collaborative approach and genuine interest in project delivery
Why Hindley?
Three years of delivery ahead. A major project to get stuck into. And an exciting pipeline beyond it.
For the right Senior Planner, this is an opportunity to become a key part of the Hindley team, make a visible contribution to how the project is delivered and build your longer-term career across our regional business.
Interested? We'd love to hear from you.
