Resource Planner (Marine Renewables & Infrastructure)

Location/work pattern: Hybrid from Southampton, London, Norwich or Glasgow. Reduced weekly hours/part-time will be considered.

Our time is NOW.

As a Resource Planner for ERM, the worlds largest pure play sustainability consultancy, you will work at the intersection of our business and our people. Through working with our Partners, Leadership and Project Managers, you will interpret and understand the needs of client projects and ensure that the right people and skills are in the right place at the right time.

You’ll have oversight of backlog, pipeline and long term project forecasts - developing a capacity planning approach across sub-teams and having input into hiring planning. A focus of this role is to ensure high Useful Billability (UB) for our consultants through effective people and pipeline management; ensuring that projects and the business are operating at maximum profit. You’ll review UB and charge-out rates data regularly, and be responsible for collection and review of timesheets. You’ll also be involved at project wrap-up stages, proactively connecting people to their next project as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

ERM are committed to the development of our people, so another critical component of your role is coaching. You will effectively be the career coach for your business area – knowing the path that the Consultants wish to follow and helping them to achieve this in a way which both matches their aspirations and leverages the work that is available.

This is a fairly new role within ERM so there’s real opportunity to develop and shape it along the way – we’re open to your ideas on how you and this role can make a difference.

About you

To be successful in this role you will need to have outstanding organisational skills, plus strong communication and people skills, including being able to influence stakeholders at all levels. As these roles are still developing we don’t have sophisticated systems in place yet, so excellent excel skills are essential and if you have experience implementing systems for this type of work in the past that would be very desirable. You will of course share our passion for renewables and sustainability, and some level of technical knowledge/background in this sector would be beneficial.

This role could suit someone from a variety of different backgrounds such as Consultancy, Planning, Bidding, Offshore Logistics, a Subject Matter Expert – essentially, if you’re interested and have a proven track record of the skills outlined above, then we’d love to hear from you!
