About the Role

We are seeking an experienced P6 Project Planner to join an Italian General Contractor delivering a major data centre project in Milan.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, maintaining and updating the project programme using Primavera P6, while working closely with the site, engineering, commercial and project management teams to accurately monitor progress and forecast project delivery.

This role requires someone who is comfortable working in a live construction environment, with sufficient site exposure to understand actual progress and validate reported completion against project requirements, documentation and QA/QC sign-offs.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop, maintain and update detailed project programmes using Primavera P6.
- Monitor project progress against the approved baseline programme and key milestones.
- Work closely with construction and site teams to establish accurate progress updates.
- Undertake regular site walks to assess actual progress against planned activities.
- Review project requirements, drawings, specifications and construction documentation to understand programme deliverables.
- Verify reported progress through QA/QC documentation, inspection records, sign-offs and completion forms.
- Ensure milestone completion is supported by appropriate site documentation and evidence.
- Identify programme delays, slippage, constraints and potential critical path impacts.
- Prepare regular progress reports, look-ahead programmes and schedule updates.
- Analyse planned versus actual progress and provide clear explanations for variances.
- Coordinate with construction managers, engineers,



subcontractors and project managers to obtain accurate progress information.
- Assist with the development and maintenance of recovery programmes where required.
- Track key project milestones, dependencies, interfaces and completion dates.
- Support the Project Manager and senior management with programme reporting and forecasting.
- Maintain accurate records of programme changes, progress updates and schedule revisions.
- Assist with identifying risks and opportunities that could impact project delivery.
- Ensure programme information is aligned with commercial, procurement, engineering and construction activities.

Requirements
- Proven experience as a Project Planner / Planning Engineer within the construction industry.
- Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6 – minimum requirement.
- Previous experience working on large-scale construction, infrastructure, MEP or data centre projects.
- Good understanding of construction sequencing, project requirements and site activities.
- Previous site-based exposure with the ability to assess actual physical progress.
- Experience reviewing construction documentation and using it to validate programme progress.
- Ability to review QA/QC sign-offs, inspection records, completion forms and other project documentation to verify milestone completion.
- Strong understanding of project schedules, critical path, dependencies and progress measurement.
- Ability to challenge reported progress where it is not supported by physical completion or documentation.




- Strong communication and coordination skills.
- Good attention to detail and ability to work with large amounts of project data.
- Ability to work effectively with construction, engineering, commercial and project management teams.
- Fluent or professional working English is required; Italian language skills would be advantageous.

Desirable Experience
- Previous experience on data centre projects, particularly hyperscale data centres.
- Experience working for a main contractor / general contractor.
- Experience working with hyperscale technology clients.
- Experience with progress measurement and earned value principles.
- Experience preparing recovery programmes and delay analysis.
- Knowledge of MEP, electrical, mechanical and civil construction activities.
- Experience working with subcontractor programmes and progress reporting.

What We Offer
- Initial 6-month contract with a strong view to becoming permanent.
- Opportunity to work on a major data centre project in Milan.
- Monday–Friday working schedule, 8 hours per day.
- Opportunity to work directly within an established Italian General Contractor environment.
- Long-term career opportunity subject to project performance and requirements.
- Exposure to a major hyperscale data centre construction programme.

Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate will be a hands-on P6 Planner who understands that effective planning goes beyond updating a Primavera schedule. They will be comfortable visiting site, speaking with construction teams, understanding what has physically been completed and checking supporting QA/QC and project documentation before confirming progress against key milestones. They should be confident challenging inaccurate progress reporting and translating site information into an accurate, commercially and operationally useful project programme.
