Job description

We are working with a privately owned Civil Construction Contractor, with a current headcount of around 240 and projected annual revenue of 180M.
 
 
They are recruiting a Project Planner to support a recently secured data centre project located in Vienna, with a construction value of €113 million. As the Turnkey Design and Build Contractor, they are responsible for overseeing the entire design and construction process from inception to completion. They are collaborating with a well-known international technology company.
 
 
This is a great time to join a smaller contractor which has ambitious growth plans for their European business. Your contribution will be recognised and valued, and you will be known by name, not payroll number.
 
 
This position would best suit an individual with site-based experience who has subsequently moved into project planning. You will manage, monitor and integrate the programme and you will need to be well versed in Primavera P6. Ideally you will have strong experience in value loading and knowledge of earned value management.
 
 
The role can be offered one of two ways; either under a UK/Irish employment contract and a rotation of 17-4 OR under a local Austrian contract with supported relocation.
 
 
Other key responsibilities:
  • Assist other planners in the team on their projects, providing planning support and mentoring them
  • Ensure proper integration of design and procurement elements of programmes with construction phases
  • Produce integrated tender programmes and present proposals to settlement meeting
  • Change management: review programme impact of changes and advise on EOT requirements
  • Produce schedules as well as obtaining approvals from clients for both programmes and EoTs
  • Set up appropriate lean visual programme to assist the Project Team to timely deliver projects and improve productivity, performance and safety of projects
 
 
To succeed in this role you will most likely:
  • Hold a relevant degree qualification in engineering or construction, or hold extensive practical experience
  • Have a background in operational roles, for example as a Site Engineer or Site Agent, along with demonstrable experience in working as a Project Planner or Senior Planner
  • Have strong knowledge of planning and scheduling systems, mainly Primavera P6
  • Ideally you will hold a passport that gives you full working rights across the EU, but please note that this is not essential. Visas can be procured if you're the right person for the role.
 
On offer is a salary of between €60,000 - €70,000 per annum, with a comprehensive benefits package which includes your accommodation, monthly subsistence allowance, rental car, pension, private medical, 24 days' holiday, and discretionary annual bonus
 
 
If you would like to know more then please drop us an email with a CV (doesn’t have to be up to date) or call us on 0203 998 7671
