Project Planner

Overview

Location: Redhill/Crawley, 4 days on-site

Type: Permanent

Salary: Up to £70,000 p.a.

About the Role:

Join a leading provider of intelligent mobility and fare‑collection technology delivering next-generation digital and software solutions for public transport. As a Project Planner
, you’ll be critical in planning and scheduling software and digital transformation initiatives—this is not a construction or engineering role.

What This Is Not:

• No construction, civil, engineering, facilities, or MEP-project experience required or desired — this role is purely focused on software/IT/digital transportation solutions.
• This role is NOT a Project Manager role, our client are looking for out and out Project Planners, this role will not be suitable for Project Managers.

• Develop and manage detailed project schedules using Primavera P6
  —from initiation through to delivery.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams (software engineers, product, operations) to ensure on-track delivery of IT, SaaS, cloud migration, and digital transformation projects.
• Monitor project progress, analyze variance, and proactively implement corrective actions.
• Produce clear reports and dashboards for stakeholders, highlighting risks, milestones, and dependencies.
• Maintain and update WBS and resource-loading metrics to optimize project flow.
• Support process improvement for planning across squads, including agile hybrid frameworks.
• Proven experience as a Project Planner
  /
  Project Scheduler or similar in a technology/IT/software delivery environment (software development, SDLC, digital transformation, SaaS).
• Mandatory expertise in Primavera P6 (Oracle Primavera P6/P6).
• Strong understanding of modern project planning practices—knowledge of MS Project or integrated planning tools is a plus.
• Hands-on experience in schedule development
  , resource and risk management
  , and stakeholder communication.
• Ability to manage multiple work streams and adjust plans in a dynamic environment.
• Excellent communicator with strong analytical planning skills.

This is a pivotal planning role that directly supports the delivery of cutting-edge intelligent transportation solutions—such as account-based fare systems, real-time analytics platforms, and AI-enabled traffic management—helping redefine urban mobility. It also plays a core part in supporting local initiatives like the UK innovation centre in Redhill, working alongside academic institutions to drive AI and digital transformation in transportation.

• CV highlighting Primavera P6 experience in IT/software project planning.
• Clear examples of planning or scheduling within digital or tech projects (e.g. cloud migration, application development, SaaS deployments).
• Availability for 4 days onsite per week in the Redhill/Crawley area.
• Immediate or near-immediate availability is ideal.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented planner passionate about leveraging P6 to support technology-driven transport and digital initiatives.
