My client is looking to bring a tender/site civils planner on board to join their Civil Engineering team in Nottingham. This is a superb opportunity for somebody who’s looking to work for a well-respected Civil Engineering contractor within a great office environment. This opportunity has come about due to company expansion and a healthy pipeline of work. My client is looking for a planner to work on highways projects, these projects could vary in types of works from Civil Engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, and roadworks.

The role will be based out of the Nottingham office but will involve travel to the sites on a regular basis. This is not a hybrid role.
