This role will suit a planner with strong construction sequencing knowledge who can build a practical, realistic project schedule covering all stages of residential construction.

- Work with the project manager / project director to create a realistic and manageable delivery schedule.
- Update and maintain the programme as the project progresses.
- Provide clear reporting on progress, delays, risks, and upcoming work fronts.
- Support better coordination between site teams, subcontractors, suppliers, and management.
- Help the project team understand what work needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and what resources are required.
Requirements
- Previous experience as a Project Planner, Construction Planner, Scheduler, or Programme Manager.
