London Gatwick offers an exciting opportunity for a Programme Planning Manager to join our dynamic team at the world's most efficient single runway airport. Be a part of shaping our future, supporting delivery of a substantial investment plan to develop and enhance our airport infrastructure and facilities. 

The Programme Planning Manager (Sustainability) will play a key role in Gatwick's future, supporting the Programme Manager in delivering the strategic aims and objectives of the business through development, implementation and delivery of effective planning and assurance processes across a programme of projects.

Key projects include replacing boilers with all-electric, non-fossil fuel plants and transitioning to refrigerants with lower global warming potential. Your role will be crucial in helping Gatwick achieve its sustainability goal of reducing emissions by 2030.

This is an excellent opportunity to directly observe and influence Gatwick's journey to Net Zero. As part of a multi-disciplinary team of construction industry experts, you will be involved from the early stages of projects, defining technical scopes, aligning project delivery with business requirements, and ensuring these are carried through from design to construction and handover.

  • Playing a major role in leading and managing planning teams for the programme.  You'll expertly apply your knowledge and skills across multiple projects, to help us achieve our strategic goals.
  • Helping the planning team grow by contributing to the development of standards, managing, motivating, coaching and mentoring team members.  You'll be excited about helping talented individuals reach their potential.
  • Reviewing the Programme, assisting in trend and change processes, reporting, risk management and finding ways to be more efficient that might positively affect programme outcomes and your teams' performance.
  • Continuously developing and upholding world-class health, safety, and environmental standards across the programme and its contractors. We aim to achieve health, safety and environmental excellence.

What are we looking for?

The live environment at Gatwick requires all our teams to have a flexible and adaptable approach, with problem solving skills and an innovative outlook. You'll have the opportunity to be significantly involved in delivering the strategic objectives of projects, as well as the opportunity to take the lead of your own projects from inception to completion. In addition, this role requires:

  • Previous experience planning infrastructure projects as a Senior Planner on multi-year programmes within the construction or infrastructure sectors working on projects/programmes typically more than £50 million.
  • Previous experience leading small teams.
  • Extensive experience of Primavera P6 and related commercial acumen
  • Demonstrable experience in communicating with a wide range of stakeholders to explain complex or abstract ideas straightforwardly.
  • Proven leadership and influencing skills, along with the ability to motivate, coach, facilitate, and create learning opportunities for others.

What do I get?

Our employees tell us that working here is something special and no day is like another; where our teams do something every day that other airports only dream of. Along with a competitive salary our employees enjoy a range of personal, health and financial benefits, including:

  • 5% Welcome Bonus
