Planner / Senior Planner RC Frame & Groundwork Package – Near Peterborough £75,000 - £85,000 + Benefits (PAYE or Self-Employed) About the Employer: Having been established for over 30 years within the specialist field of concrete frames and groundworks, this business is, without doubt, one of the leading names within this field. Current turnover is over £100m per annum, and they have consistently worked at the cutting edge of the sector to be one of the best at what they do. They currently complete packages ranging in value from £10m up to £50m each on a mixture of residential, commercial, educational, and leisure projects throughout London, and further around the UK in Cambridgeshire, Birmingham, and other areas. This business prides itself on its high repeat business rate and its in-house capability to take complex projects from design through to completion. I would highly recommend this business as a polished environment where individuals can grow and flourish, working on some of the best and most iconic projects in the UK. And it is worth pointing out that I have never had anyone decide to leave this business in their first 12 months after joining, which shows how stable and successful this company is.

All projects include RC frames, groundwork, and sometimes basement works, and your first project will be a £25m+ package.

To fulfil this role, we would ideally hope for the candidate to have spent a proportion of his / her career on building sites as an engineer, project manager or similar, in the specialist field of reinforced concrete frame construction and groundworks, but this is not essential if strong planning experience can be shown in this field. About the Rewards: This business offers above-average packages to ensure their staff are happy with their income, and beyond this, to ensure they see this as a long-term move when joining the company. Stability of employment and maintaining a low staff turnover are important in line with everything this business stands for. For these positions, we have been given a rough bracket of £75,000 to £85,000 per annum as the salary, which will also include benefits and a structured bonus scheme on top. And we can consider individuals looking to be employed on a self-employed basis, as well as PAYE. All offers are subject to experience. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face to face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment.
