The role

Join our Onshore Renewables team and play a vital role in delivering the clean energy projects that will power a net zero future. As a Project Planner, you’ll provide expert planning and scheduling support across our portfolio of wind farm development, construction, and life-extension projects.

Using Primavera P6, you’ll help keep our projects on track – ensuring they’re delivered safely, efficiently, and on time. Working closely with our Project Services Manager, Project Managers, Capital Projects Team, and wider stakeholders, you’ll develop robust, data-driven schedules that enable smart decisions and drive performance across the business.

You will

• Develop and maintain detailed, construction-focused project schedules in Primavera P6 across the full project lifecycle – from early development through to delivery and operation.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, procurement, and site construction teams to build realistic, logic-driven programmes that reflect actual site conditions and sequencing.
• Identify and analyse critical paths, delays, and risks, supporting the development of robust mitigation strategies to maintain schedule integrity.
• Conduct delay analysis and evaluate the time impact of change events, contractor claims, and variations, ensuring full compliance with NEC3/NEC4 contractual requirements.
• Provide clear, concise planning reports and insights to inform key decisions, track progress, and support performance management.

You have

• Proven experience in project planning and scheduling for large-scale construction or infrastructure projects, ideally within the renewable energy, power, or civil engineering sectors.
• A solid understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing, and site execution, gained through hands‑on experience with multidisciplinary project delivery teams.
• Demonstrated ability to use Primavera P6 to build and manage complex, logic‑linked construction programmes.
• Practical experience working under NEC3/NEC4 contracts, including assessing delay impacts, change events, and contractor claims.
• A clear track record of specific projects you’ve supported, with defined roles, responsibilities, and client or contractor organisations that demonstrate your ability to deliver in a complex project environment.
