The Project Planner Market
Planning is where a civils programme is either defensible or not. Under NEC the accepted programme is a contractual document, and the assessment of a compensation event turns on what it shows, so a planner who can build and maintain one properly is doing commercial work as much as technical work. The market splits on tooling and on scale: Primavera P6 on a major framework is a different world from Asta Powerproject on regional schemes, and the two populations do not overlap as much as employers assume. Demand is steady because the role is small in headcount and large in consequence — most schemes carry one or two planners, so a vacancy is immediate rather than absorbable.
Typical Qualifications & Tickets
- Degree or HND in civil engineering or construction
- Primavera P6 or Asta Powerproject
- Earned value and critical path analysis
- NEC programme and compensation-event assessment
- Delay analysis awareness

What does a civils Project Planner actually do?
They build and maintain the programme, run critical path and earned value analysis, and under NEC maintain the accepted programme that compensation-event assessments turn on. That last point makes it a commercial role as much as a technical one: what the programme shows decides what is recoverable.
What does a Project Planner earn in the UK?
Published market guidance puts a UK civils project planner at £45,000 to £70,000. Primavera P6 experience on a major framework is the clearest premium in the band. That is published market guidance compiled from UK sources, not a quotation and not Andrews Recruitment Group placement data.
Does the planning software a candidate uses matter?
More than employers expect. Primavera P6 on a major framework and Asta Powerproject on regional schemes are different working environments, and the two populations overlap less than the job titles suggest. ARG establishes the tool, the schedule size and whether the candidate has owned an accepted programme under NEC before shortlisting.
