Assistant Project Planner

• Build and track schedules across live battery storage projects

Planning in renewables is moving fast, and this role puts you in the middle of it. A UK developer, owner and operator of battery storage, flexible generation, pumped hydro and hydrogen assets is looking for a Junior Planner to join its project controls team in Victoria.
You'll plan across a portfolio of live projects, working alongside project managers who rely on a clear programme. You'll learn how large energy assets get built, from construction through to commissioning and handover.
The package

• £45,000–£60,000 per year, permanent
• Hybrid: 3–4 days a week in the Central London office
• Exposure to utility-scale battery storage and other flexible energy infrastructure
• Work across several projects at once, so you build experience quickly

What you'll do

• Help build and maintain project schedules across multiple projects, including short-term lookaheads and critical path analysis
• Support project managers with site meetings and progress reviews through construction and commissioning
• Keep accurate project records: progress schedules, daily diaries and resource tracking
• Track risks, milestones and dependencies across the portfolio and flag problems early
• Support commissioning and handover, liaising with contractors, equipment suppliers and internal teams
• Pull together project data, including cost forecasts, resource allocation and programme performance
• Help maintain commissioning plans, test schedules and compliance records

What you'll bring

• 2–5 years' experience in a planning, scheduling or project coordination role
• Working knowledge of Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or similar planning software
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, and the ability to juggle several workstreams
• Clear communication with contractors, project managers and internal teams
• A team player who is comfortable supporting several project managers at once
• A-levels or equivalent in a technical or business subject, or equivalent hands-on experience

Ideal, not essential

• Experience of battery storage, renewables or other energy and infrastructure projects
• Site coordination or commissioning exposure
• Awareness of UK grid connection processes (DNO / National Grid)
• Understanding of health, safety and environmental requirements on construction sites
