Project Planner Engineer (Construction)

We are looking for a Project Planner Engineer who enjoys structure, clarity, and working on complex challenges. In this role, your analytical skills sit right at the centre of major project decisions, within a team that values precision, critical thinking, and a structured approach to large-scale construction projects.

We are recruiting on behalf of a leading consultancy in construction and infrastructure project management, involved in high-profile national and international projects — complex infrastructure works (roads, motorways, rail, utilities, hydrotechnical works) as well as large civil and building projects.

The position is based in Bucharest, in a hybrid work model, with the office located next to Grozăvești metro station — offering both flexibility and direct exposure to complex, high-impact work.

The collaboration can be structured either as full-time employment (CIM) or B2B, depending on your preference.
