Senior Planner – Glasgow

Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for planning excellence in construction? Ready to play a pivotal role in shaping complex projects and influencing outcomes from bid through to delivery?

We’re working with a leading, family-owned business operating across construction, infrastructure, and support services. With a strong reputation for innovation, sustainability, and delivering quality, they’re now looking for a Senior Planner to join their Glasgow-based team.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Planner, you’ll take the lead in developing and implementing robust planning strategies across key regional projects. This is more than a scheduling role – it’s your chance to influence commercial outcomes, drive efficiencies, and play an integral part in winning work and ensuring successful delivery.

You’ll be the go-to planning expert across bid and construction stages, engaging with internal stakeholders, clients, and the supply chain to ensure programme excellence at every step.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and refine planning procedures and protocols across bid and construction phases.

• Manage planning input for regional tenders, identifying programme risks, constraints, and commercial opportunities.

• Produce innovative, efficient logistics and programming solutions to support winning bids.

• Engage with supply chain partners to ensure programme strategies are aligned and achievable.

• Lead programme transition from pre-construction to delivery, ensuring all assumptions, risk allowances, and opportunities are clearly defined and communicated.

• Support client presentations and board reviews with clear, insightful programme reporting.

What You’ll Bring

• Demonstrable experience in planning or a front-end project management role within construction.

• Strong understanding of design, procurement, and commercial functions, and how they influence project timelines.

• Proven ability to think strategically and challenge the norm to deliver planning excellence.

• Confident communicator with the ability to engage and influence at all levels.

• A proactive mindset with a desire to grow your career within a forward-thinking and ambitious organisation
