Primavera P6 Planning Engineer

Primavera P6 Planning Engineer - Shape Scotland's Clean Energy Future

This is an exceptional opportunity for a skilled Primavera P6 Planning Engineer to join SSEN Transmission and play a pivotal role in advancing the UK's transition to Net Zero. If you are passionate about renewable energy infrastructure and thrive in a dynamic, project-driven environment, this role offers significant career growth and a chance to make a tangible impact.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

• Pivotal Role in Net Zero: You will be at the forefront of developing and reinforcing critical energy infrastructure, connecting renewable energy sources and directly contributing to the UK's ambitious climate goals. This is more than a job; it's a chance to build a greener future.
• Career Advancement: With SSEN Transmission experiencing rapid growth and a substantial project pipeline, you'll have ample opportunities to expand your skills, take on greater responsibility, and advance within a leading energy company.
• Competitive Remuneration and Benefits: The attractive salary of circa £55,000 (commensurate with experience) is complemented by a performance-related bonus. Furthermore, SSEN Transmission offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your holistic wellbeing, including:
  • Discounts on private healthcare and gym memberships.
  • Wellbeing support, such as a free online GP and 24/7 counselling.
  • Financial support through interest-free loans for tech, transport season tickets, and the Cycle to Work scheme.
  • Generous family entitlements, including enhanced maternity, adoption pay, and paternity leave.
• Flexible Working: Embrace a healthy work-life balance with flexible, hybrid working options. SSEN Transmission understands the importance of personal commitments and offers a blend of home and office-based work, providing the flexibility you need to succeed.
• Strategic Locations: The role is based in one of three key Scottish cities: Perth, Aberdeen, or Glasgow, offering diverse living and working environments.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

• Project Lifecycle Ownership: You will have the autonomy to take ownership of planning projects from inception to completion, developing and maintaining detailed programmes. This hands-on involvement across the full project lifecycle will significantly enhance your planning expertise.
• Collaborative Environment: Success in this role hinges on strong collaboration. You'll work closely with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, including project teams, contractors, site management, and commercial departments. This will hone your communication and relationship-building skills.
• Contractual Expertise: A deep understanding of NEC3 contract planning requirements is crucial. You will be responsible for conducting delay analysis, evaluating the time impact of change events, and ensuring compliance. This experience is highly valued in the infrastructure sector and will bolster your professional credibility.
• Data Analysis and Reporting: You will be adept at analysing complex contractor programmes for integrity and compliance, and delivering insightful reports and feedback to senior management. This will develop your analytical capabilities and strategic reporting skills.
• Travel and Mobility: Please note that the role involves travel between SSE offices and project sites, with occasional overnight stays. A valid driving licence is essential for this aspect of the position.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

We are looking for individuals with proven experience as a Planning Engineer, proficient in Primavera P6, ideally within large-scale construction or infrastructure projects. A robust understanding of NEC3 contract planning principles is essential. You should possess excellent analytical skills, the ability to review complex programmes, and a proactive, "can-do" attitude. Strong interpersonal skills and proficiency in Microsoft 365 are also key requirements.

This is a compelling opportunity for a motivated Planning Engineer to contribute to a vital industry and build a rewarding career within an organisation committed to a sustainable future. If you are ready to take on this challenge, we encourage you to apply.
