Job Details

We are currently looking to recruit a Senior Planner to support our fantastic specialist refurbishment team that focusses on projects with a budget up to around £5million (known as PB5) in construction value.
As a Senior Planner you will be providing robust planning support at pre-construction stages developing tender programmes for submission documents supporting our site operations teams as required too. As a Planner you will be delivering good quality logical programmes, associated work and ongoing monitoring for projects on site. One of challenges (but also a positive) with our PB5 team is managing multiple projects and different stages so an organised and pro-active approach is a necessity - so a varied workload can be expected.
You will be instrumental in planning resources for projects (often in live environments) in collaboration with the other members of the project as well as project resource requirements for future workloads.
You will have experience of identifying complex project issues early to reduce the impact on working programmes. You will work in conjunction with site teams, management teams and design teams to update programmes with feasible and workable resolutions. Assist with the production of short-term programmes and add detail to existing programmes where required.
Experience in the refurbishment and fit out sectors are essential, ideally having a good back ground in both, and across a wide range of project values.
As the specialist interiors arm of the Willmott Dixon Group we are currently involved in some major projects with individual values to circa £55m. These include some major refurbishment to listed and landmark buildings, hotels, universities, flagship stores and offices. We have a very strong pipeline of interesting work for 2022 and beyond nationwide.
This is our specialist refurbishment and fit out service department that recognises that each customer and project matters and focuses on projects with a budget up to £5million and work within a number of key sectors including; commercial, medical, government, blue light, hospitality and education and we would look for either specialists or a mix of sector experience.
Our office (when you need to go to it - how times have changed) is within easy reach of a number of stations: Blackfriars, Cannon Street, Farringdon, Fenchurch Street, Holborn, Liverpool Street and Waterloo and all the fantastic amenities, our customers and food destinations that part of London offers!
