The Opportunity

• As the Project is now moving from Civil Works construction activities into the M&E installation phase there is now a need to review arrangements to align with the post CS2 Programme. 
• The transition beyond the CS2 Configuration Baseline and into the commissioning phase will mean that the Planning Support Coordinator will be instrumental in supporting the Post CS2 Programme Manager.
• You’ll help to ensure the programme is delivered with precision, agility, and professionalism.
• This is a varied and dynamic role, offering the chance to take ownership of key activities, support cross-functional teams, and even lead on sub-projects as you grow.

Typical Responsibilities

• You will be the engine behind the scenes—coordinating meetings, tracking actions, and ensuring that the Post CS2 programme stays on course.
• You will support the development of communication strategies, prepare reports and briefings, and help maintain alignment across multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
• You will play a key part in managing and analysing project schedules, identifying risks, and ensuring that milestones are met.
• Your ability to spot issues early and keep things moving will be vital to the success of the programme.

Key Skills for Success:

• You don’t need to be an Engineer!! But… you do need to be curious, proactive, and ready to learn.
• You thrive in a structured yet fast-moving environment.
• You bring strong organisational skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with confidence.
• You are comfortable working independently but also enjoy being part of a team and building strong relationships across departments.
• You have excellent communication skills—both written and verbal
• You will be confident using tools like Microsoft Office, Power BI, and databases.
• Experience in project or programme support, particularly in complex or regulated environments, will be a strong advantage.
• You will need to be motivated, adaptable, and calm under pressure.
