• Assist in creating and maintaining project schedules using Primavera P6, VISTA, or MS Project.
• Support development of schedule templates and model programmes for all project stages.
• Help populate schedules with durations, milestones, constraints, and (over time) resource loading.
• Gather progress updates from site teams, design teams, and subcontractors.
• Assist with weekly progress reporting and preparation of dashboards.
• Support integration of trade contractor programmes into the overall schedule.
• Learn and apply best practices in planning, reporting, and project controls.
• Contribute to change management processes and impact assessments as experience grows.
• Maintain accurate programme records and trend data.
• Provide support to senior planners, project managers, and operations teams as required.

• Strong aptitude for planning, reporting, and programme analysis
• Excellent numerical, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Clear communication and ability to engage with stakeholders
• Highly organised with attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn

Desirable:

• Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline
• Exposure to construction or engineering projects (including placements)
• Familiarity with planning software (e.g., Microsoft Project, Primavera P6)
• Understanding of Mechanical & Electrical building services (advantageous)
