Opportunity:
We have a fantastic opportunity within our Highways business unit for an ambitious and talented Senior Planner to work on our Old Street Roundabout project in London.
The Senior Planner will provide planning management and support to both the pre-contract and contract operations for the business and coordinate with bid and construction teams to manage and control the planning and programming aspects of bid proposals and multiple projects in progress.
The Person:
- Educated to professional level with a relevant degree or equivalent in a core business discipline
- Thorough understanding and experience in the use of project management software (P6)
- Extensive experience in programme and project management, project planning, including programme controls, project review, and cost and risk analysis
- Ability to plan construction works from first principles, preferably with experience in multi discipline major projects
- Extensive site experience on business related projects in a management or supervisory capacity

- Experience in the interpretation of data and information and producing it in a clear and logical format
The Project:
The Old Street roundabout project is the first contract led by TfL as part of their Civil Projects Framework.
The scheme will remove the existing one-way operation of the signalised Old Street roundabout to improve cycle and pedestrian facilities, reduce collisions and provide an enhanced urban realm.
The roundabout island will be removed to form a new peninsula style junction, similar to that recently constructed in 2016 at the Elephant & Castle junction in Southwark.
The works will entail major realignment of the carriageway and significant modifications to the subways and station entrances to facilitate the widened carriageways and segregated cycle lanes.
The new formed peninsula will provide an open pedestrianized area with additional seating and retail facilities.
