Description: Enthusiastic and highly driven Planning Manager required for managing a diverse and massive budget programme in the Nuclear sector.
Salary: to £65k negotiable dependant upon experience
Our client specialise in a range of projects and activities associated with the decommissioning, infrastructure, effluent operations and spent fuel management at one of the most complex nuclear sites in the world, and as a result of continued success and an ongoing programme of strategic growth, they are now seeking to recruit an experienced, dynamic and proactive Planning Manager to coordinate the activities of an £8bn programme of projects in the next 5 years.
Based in either West Cumbria or Cheshire, the Planning Manager will be responsible for all planning processes, procedures and systems, and the optimisation of functionality and architecture within the business, defining and leading improvements for the Planning function including performance objectives and goals and coordinating external instruction, queries and recommendations and the dissemination of solutions to the organisation.
You will ensure best practice Planning methods and procedures are used across the organisation through appropriate Planning Peer Reviews and support to the Project Controls functional assurance process, and will both maintain and increase the competency of the Planning community by providing any specific training as required and by providing a coaching and mentoring framework.
To be considered for this varied and extremely challenging role, you will demonstrate previous proven project controls leadership experience on both Major EPCC Projects and Asset Management Programmes, and it is envisaged that you will realistically be degree or minimum HND level qualified in an engineering discipline although relevant experience or related qualification will also be considered. You will possess exhaustive experience in planning, progress measurement, trend and change management on all project phases from front end design through to commissioning and will adopt a pro-active approach to solving problems and getting the job done, so an articulate self-motivated, energetic and tenacious demeanour are essential for the post.
With excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to mentor and motivate fellow team members as well as being able to demonstrate previous success achieved in a Planning Manager capacity, this is an exceptional opportunity for a suitably qualified and experienced individual to join a recognised industry leader.
