At QP, we design, engineer and manage the built environment with a deep commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation. Working across countries and cultures, our teams collaborate to deliver iconic, meaningful and future-focused projects for a diverse international client base.

As our organisation continues to grow locally and internationally, we are seeking an Project Planner to join our team.

Role purpose

As Project Planner, you will build, manage, and maintain project programmes that enable teams and clients to make informed decisions. You will translate scope, milestones, dependencies, and resourcing into clear schedules, monitor progress, and support proactive risk and change management.

You will work closely with Project Managers, Discipline Leads, and Senior Partners, contributing to best-practice planning standards across QP.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain integrated project programmes across multiple projects (concept to completion).
• Set up Work Breakdown Structures, milestones, dependencies, and critical paths.
• Baseline schedules, track progress, and produce look-ahead plans (2–6 weeks) and master schedules.
• Support resource planning and capacity forecasting with PMs and discipline leads.
• Identify schedule risks and constraints early; propose mitigation plans and scenario options.
• Manage programme updates, change impacts, and schedule revisions, including change logs.
• Prepare concise planning dashboards and reports for internal and client-facing meetings.
• Facilitate planning workshops and coordination sessions to align scope, deliverables, and timelines.
• Ensure planning documentation is controlled, auditable, and aligned to QP standards.
• Contribute to improving planning templates, SOPs, and reporting cadence across the business.

What you bring

• 3+ years in project planning/scheduling in construction, engineering, architecture, or PM consultancy (hotel and complex projects preferred).
• Strong proficiency in planning tools (Primavera P6 and/or MS Project). Power BI and Excel reporting skills are an advantage.
• Solid understanding of project lifecycle, procurement, design coordination, and delivery sequencing.
• Ability to work with ambiguity, create structure, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to version control and reporting.
• Confident, collaborative style with the ability to influence without authority.
• Fluency in English is required; additional languages are an advantage.

What we offer

• High-impact role in a fast-growing, international environment.
• Exposure to complex, high-profile projects and cross-disciplinary teams.
• Clear development pathway and the opportunity to shape planning standards at QP.
• Competitive package aligned to experience.
