Senior Construction Planner / Planning Manager
Tier 1–capable Contractor | Projects up to £50m | Glasgow
Salary: Excellent package + flexible working
Hays Construction are working in partnership with a well‑respected, Tier 1‑capable main contractor to appoint a Senior Construction Planner, with a clear pathway to Planning Manager, based in Glasgow.
Your new company
Our client is a financially secure, well established Scottish contractor with the capability to deliver complex projects up to £50million across a diverse portfolio including public‑sector, commercial, residential and infrastructure related schemes.
Backed by a strong balance sheet and a robust forward workload, the business offers long term stability and a mature, flexible working environment that empowers senior staff rather than over managing them. Planning is seen as a core function of project success, with planners genuinely valued at board and project level.
Your new role
This is a senior appointment where you will lead planning input across pre construction and live delivery phases, while helping shape best practice across the wider business. Depending on your experience, the role can be positioned as a Senior Planner with progression or an immediate Planning Manager appointment.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Developing and managing robust tender and construction programmes for projects up to £50m
- Leading programme strategy across multiple sectors and procurement routes
- Providing planning leadership and challenge to project teams and senior stakeholders
- Managing risk, critical path analysis, change and impact assessments
- Supporting and mentoring junior planners as the function continues to grow
- Playing a key role in the evolution of planning standards, systems and governance
What you’ll need to succeed
- Strong experience in a Senior Construction Planner or Planning Manager role with a main contractor
- Proven capability delivering complex programmes, ideally on projects £20m+
- Strong working knowledge of planning software (e.g. P6, Asta Powerproject)
- Excellent communication skills and commercial awareness
- Ambition to influence strategy and progress into (or operate at) Planning Manager level
What you’ll get in return
- Highly competitive salary and benefits package
- Flexible working arrangements aligned to a mature, trust based culture
- Clear progression opportunity into a Planning Manager role
- Long term job security with a financially robust contractor
- The opportunity to work on major, high profile Scottish projects
What to do next
If you are a Senior Construction Planner looking to step up, or an established Planning Manager seeking a stable and progressive environment, please contact Hays Construction for a confidential discussion.
