The Programme Planner will develop, maintain and monitor procedures and processes in relation to all aspects of the planning of multiple projects, including the handover process and defects period.

A fundamental part of the role will be ensuring effective performance and financial monitoring is in place, collating key performance indicators to assess delivery of each stage of the projects across Enterprise and Communities.

The Programme Planner role involves working collaboratively and as part of the council’s Management Team to support the delivery of the council’s priority outcomes, ensure successful implementation of the council’s business plan and continue to improve services to reflect the needs of local communities and stakeholders.
