PeoItaly , an employment agency authorised by the Italian Ministry of Labour, is conducting this search on behalf of a confidential international general contractor delivering mission-critical Data Centre projects across Europe.
The selected candidate will be employed directly by the client and join the planning team supporting a major Data Centre development in the Milan area. The position includes a short initial onboarding period in Amsterdam, providing direct exposure to the company’s planning standards, systems and international delivery model.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Planner who enjoys turning complex construction information into clear, reliable programmes. The role will provide visibility across the entire project lifecycle, from pre-construction and procurement through installation, commissioning and handover.
Key responsibilities
- Develop, maintain and control the integrated construction master programme from pre-construction through to commissioning.
- Gather and validate progress information from site teams, engineering disciplines and subcontractors.
- Monitor the critical path, milestones, dependencies, interfaces and construction sequences.
- Translate project data into clear progress reports, curves, variance analyses and completion forecasts.
- Identify emerging delays, constraints and programme risks before they affect key delivery dates.
- Prepare realistic mitigation measures, recovery schedules and alternative sequencing options.
- Support resource planning, productivity reviews and production-rate analysis.
- Represent the Planning function during client, project-team and subcontractor meetings.
- Assess change events, delays and their potential impact on the approved programme.
- Maintain consistent project-control procedures and accurate planning records.
- Work closely with construction, MEP, CSA, procurement and commissioning teams to align priorities.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of planning and reporting processes.
Candidate profile
We are interested in candidates with:
- Previous experience in construction planning, scheduling or project controls on complex projects.
- A background in engineering, construction management, project controls or a related technical discipline.
- A strong understanding of construction sequencing, progress measurement, critical-path analysis and forecasting.
- Experience collecting and challenging progress information from project teams and subcontractors.
- The ability to produce clear reports, programme updates, variance analyses and recovery plans.
- Confidence using planning software such as Primavera P6 or an equivalent platform.
- Strong analytical, organisational and stakeholder-management skills.
- Professional working proficiency in English.
- Availability to work primarily on-site in the Milan area.
- Availability to complete a short initial onboarding period in Amsterdam.
Previous experience on Data Centre, mission-critical or similarly complex construction projects would be an advantage.
