Job Description

AWE is looking for a P6 Proficient Project Planner to support its delivery of the Replacement Warhead Programme.

Salary range: £38,000 to £48,000

Location: RG7 4PR, located between Reading and Basingstoke - onsite requirement is 2-3 days

Introducing the role:

We use P6 at AWE so proficiency with this is really important. As a Project Planner will need to engage with and present schedule analysis to our Project Manager's in order to support project planning capability. You will be responsible for maintaining the Integrated Master Schedule, checking schedule integrity, providing network analysis and Earned Value Management.

You will be joining the business to be part of one of the most complex infrastructure programmes in the country at a pivotal moment. In March 2024, the UK government committed substantial investment into the Future Materials Campus, a series of facilities needed to maintain the UK's Continuous At Sea Deterrent for years to come, and develop a new, replacement warhead. We are building a talented team to make the most of this opportunity. This is a new approach for AWE and we need someone who can support a new programme in its set up and evolution into a multi-year project.

Your day could look like this:

  • Creating the Work breakdown structure, Resource loading, Project level IMS (Integrated Master Schedule), and Project-specific basis of scheduling documents
  • Input into the month-end process including: updating schedule progress, undertaking schedule forecasting, updating milestone status and critical path analysis
  • Undertaking schedule performance review including EV variance analysis
  • Providing Planning input to Change control process, Risk and Opportunity process, and Peer reviews
  • Producing Planning and EV deliverables
  • Addressing schedule performance issues

As a Project Planner, along with proficiency in P6, we'd like you to have some of the following skills or experience:

  • Development, integration, and analysis of project plans
  • Best practice planning processes and tools
  • Confidence modelling processes and techniques
  • An analytical approach along with a passion for interpreting charts and spreadsheets

If you are a Project Planner who is proficient with P6 and you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we'd love to receive your application.
