RECRUITMENT WATCH...  Welcome to the April edition of the planning recruitment watch, brought to you by Project Resource Ltd. We bring you the latest trends in planning recruitment across the UK, helping you plot your next career move. Demand for planners has picked up across the country since the start of March. Whilst there was some concern after a dip in February, requirements from employers are now coming in faster than at any other point since the New Year. Across the Midlands and Anglia we are seeing renewed demand for intermediate planners from power, water and civils backgrounds looking to work on either a permanent or contract basis. This demand for intermediate planners is repeated in London where a post recession skills shortage has created a growing number of vacancies for planners with rail or heavy civils project experience. Both the North West and South West are reporting constant and consistent demand for intermediate to senior planners with demonstrable experience in the nuclear, power and oil & gas sectors. In addition, our Manchester planning team are reporting an ongoing desire to speak with planners with EPC experience to work on perm and contract positions in the North West. If you are a planner and are considering your next career move, please visit our website today, we may have the perfect role for your experience and requirements. We also offer a referral scheme that rewards you for your recommendations, click here for details. | |
