OVERVIEW:

As Planner, you will support both the tender and pre-construction stages of complex projects, many of which are delivered for Tier 1 Main Contractors and Developers across London and the Home Counties. The projects often include structural elements such as demolition, piling, utilities, and external works.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience in construction planning or project/contracts management within concrete frames and groundworks.
• Knowledge of pre-construction planning and sequencing.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to discuss methodologies with clients and directors.
• IT literate with experience in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Experience with Asta Powerproject is highly desirable but not essential (training can be provided).
• Ability to work in an office-based role with a collaborative team environment.

JOIN A FINANCIALLY STABLE CONSTRUCTION LEADER WHERE YOUR PLANNING EXPERTISE WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT MAJOR LONDON PROJECTS WHILE WORKING ALONGSIDE SENIOR DECISION-MAKERS IN A FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS WITH 45+ YEARS OF INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE.

Bennett and Game are working in partnership with a long-standing, family-owned construction company that has built a strong reputation over the last 45 years. Specialising in concrete frames, groundworks, enabling works, and large basement structures, they are now looking to appoint an experienced Planner to join their Pre-Construction team, following the planned retirement of a valued colleague.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a financially robust and forward-thinking business that has grown organically through reinvestment—not borrowing. Working directly with senior decision-makers, the successful candidate will play a key role in tender planning, helping to shape construction methodologies and deliver accurate, high-quality programme submissions.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop detailed programmes for groundworks, concrete frames, basements, and related activities.
• Collaborate closely with estimators and project delivery teams to determine optimal sequencing and methodology.
• Contribute to the bid process, preparing planning documentation and supporting tender submissions.
• Engage with clients and stakeholders to communicate planning strategies and delivery timelines.
• Use Asta Powerproject to produce and manage programmes (training available for candidates with relevant experience transitioning into Pre-Construction roles).
