Assistant Planner or Planning Engineer, Costain, Thameslink - London Bridge Station Redevelopment

2013 – 2015 Current works – Costain - London Bridge Station Revelopment (as part of the Thames link programme worth £6.5 Billion): I currently work for Costain at London Bridge Station Redevelopment, since working here I have experienced planning for civil works undertaken by Costain (otherwise known as self-delivery works) and Early works such as demolition, piling and drainage (which have been part self-delivery and part subcontracted). I do both short term and long term planning. My general role requirements include undertaking progress updates, future planning, EVA, resourcing, coordination, logistics and project controls. I like to go the extra mile to help and assist the engineering team and enjoy creating detailed sequence slides, paperwork trackers and gaining/acknowledging a good amount of understanding for up and coming works which I can handover and feed into the team. I have managed project wide coordination meetings as well as general project control requirements across the job and therefore developed a great appreciation for what the client expects including clarity and accuracy. I have easily adapted and integrated into different teams and enjoyed working on a continuously fast paced live site. I have developed strong management and organizational skills, and have had a great amount of exposure to different work fronts such as fit out and finishes, M&E and structural steelwork including the interface between subcontractors.
