Are you a Senior Planner ready to step into a high-impact role in the North West? A leading construction business is looking for an experienced Senior Planner to join their Manchester office and take the reins on pre-construction planning for major logistics, data centre, and infrastructure projects.



This is a role with real influence. You’ll lead the development of tender programmes, contribute to winning work, and support live schemes across the region. You’ll work closely with a Planning Lead who values collaboration, autonomy and long-term thinking – no micromanagement here. The Northern team turns over £150m+, with projects typically ranging from £10m to over £100m.



Industrial sector experience is a big plus, and NEC familiarity would be great too – but neither is essential. What matters most is your ability to build robust programmes, communicate clearly with the bid and delivery teams, and keep your finger on the pulse of multiple complex schemes.



In this Senior Planner role, you'll:



Lead on tender and pre-construction planning



Support the delivery team with programme updates as projects go live



Work primarily with JCT contracts, with some exposure to NEC



Shape project methodology and sequencing from day one



You’ll join a planning team that blends real construction insight with modern, forward-thinking methods. The wider business has over 300 staff and a turnover of £500m+, with a strong order book and a culture of steady, smart growth.



The set-up? Office-based in Manchester four days a week, with one day WFH or on site. The business offers genuine flexibility for personal commitments (school runs included), and a team environment where ideas and contributions are genuinely valued.



If you’re ready to bring your experience in planning to a forward-thinking company, we want to hear from you.



Apply today, and we will contact you within 3 working days if your application has been shortlisted.
