Scheduler/ Planner - Rail & Transit

Reference: h224d0bfrof3b3y0y368

We are seeking an experienced Scheduler/Planner to support the delivery of rail and transit projects from planning through to completion. The successful candidate will coordinate construction, engineering, maintenance and operational activities, ensuring that work is properly sequenced, resources are available and programme milestones are achieved safely and efficiently. This role will involve working closely with project managers, site teams, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers and client representatives across a range of rail and public transport environments.

Key responsibilities will include developing, maintaining and updating detailed project programmes, short-term lookahead schedules and resource plans; coordinating access, possessions, isolations and work windows; monitoring progress against approved schedules; and identifying potential delays, interfaces, risks and recovery actions. You will gather accurate progress information from project teams, produce regular reports and dashboards, and communicate schedule changes clearly to relevant stakeholders. The role will also involve supporting tender and mobilisation activities, reviewing subcontractor programmes, assessing dependencies and contributing to change management, forecasting and programme assurance. A strong focus on safety, quality, compliance and minimising disruption to rail and transit operations is essential.

Applicants should have proven experience in planning or scheduling within rail, transit, infrastructure, construction, engineering or a similarly complex operational environment. Strong knowledge of project planning principles and scheduling software such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or equivalent is required, together with the ability to interpret technical information, drawings, work packages and contract requirements. You will need excellent organisational, analytical and communication skills, a proactive approach to problem-solving and the confidence to challenge information constructively. The ability to manage competing priorities, work to strict deadlines and collaborate effectively with both operational and senior stakeholders is essential. Relevant qualifications in project controls, construction, engineering or a related discipline are desirable, as is experience working in live rail environments and understanding access, possession and operational planning requirements.
