Darlington, Darlington, United Kingdom Wood Full time

Wood is seeking an experienced Senior Planning Manager to lead the day-to-day activities of the Planning team, ensuring all tasks are executed on secured projects and those being tendered. This role will support the development of the UK-wide planning team to meet the expanding internal and client needs. Wood is committed to hybrid working, allowing a combination of office and home working. The role can be based at any of Wood's offices across the UK, with preference given to those preferring to work from our Glasgow or Knutsford offices.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to support our growing workload and contribute to the increased network capacity required to deliver the UK government's pathway to 2030 and the transition to net zero. Working knowledge of the core principles of contracts, commercial, and project management is essential. Proven experience of risk management processes and software tools such as Microsoft Project and Primavera are fundamental. This role will suit an experienced planner/individual possibly from a medium-sized construction company and/or project delivery consultancy background looking to move their career towards a leadership role in the organisation.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop themselves and build their team during this dynamic time in the transmission and distribution sector. Preferably, you will have experience of transmission projects under your belt, but we'd also be open to hearing from individuals with relevant construction experience from other sectors, including civils, rail, utilities, oil & gas, or petrochemicals. Experience of the NEC form of contract is important but not essential.

At Wood, we understand and acknowledge that everyone is different, and we are committed to equal opportunities and want to access all the talent that is out there. We are committed to attracting a broad range of skills, knowledge, and experiences and embrace differences.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the day-to-day activities of the Planning team
  • Support the development of the UK-wide planning team
  • Contribute to the increased network capacity required to deliver the UK government's pathway to 2030 and the transition to net zero
  • Develop and implement risk management processes and software tools
  • Build and lead a high-performing team

What We Offer:

  • Meaningful and interesting projects delivered to leaders of industry across emerging energy sectors
  • Flexible working arrangements that balance client, team, and individual needs
  • Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
  • Competitive salary with regular salary reviews
  • Flexible benefits package
  • Commitment to continued professional development
  • Global connections
