Planning Officer

Function

• As a Planning Officer, you take on a central role in the day-to-day organisation of personnel, equipment, and transport for infrastructure and construction projects in Brussels.
• You create and manage the personnel planning from A to Z. In consultation with operational managers and HR, you align in-house staff and external teams with the needs of the sites.
• Thanks to your planning, the deployment of workers, foremen, machinery, and transport is organised in a timely and efficient manner. This ensures teams can get to work at the right time with the right resources.
• As a planner, you are an accessible point of contact for workers, foremen, site managers, subcontractors, and internal departments. Requests, changes, and practical arrangements are followed up clearly and carefully.
• You manage transport and fleet requirements, flag issues, and align solutions with the relevant logistics and fleet colleagues.
• Temporary unemployment, site registrations, medical examinations, weekend work, and activities during closure days are also proactively monitored and communicated by you in a timely manner.
• When in-house teams or machinery are insufficient, you coordinate the supplementation with external resources and support the follow-up of agreements made with external partners.
• You work in a people-focused organisation within the construction sector, where various technical and operational areas of expertise collaborate on complex projects. Quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement define the daily way of working.

Profile

• You have approximately 3 to 5 years of experience in planning, personnel coordination, logistics, or a comparable operational role. A bachelor's degree, for example in logistics or supply chain, is an advantage but not an absolute requirement.
• A practical environment appeals to you and you have a good sense of what operational staff need. Experience within the construction sector or with site-related planning helps you to make an impact quickly.
• Maintaining oversight, setting priorities, and making swift adjustments are among your strengths. Even when an unexpected request changes the next day's schedule, you remain precise and solution-oriented.
• You communicate clearly and enjoy working with a wide range of internal and external contacts. This connecting approach is important for executing agreements correctly and building trust.
• You are proficient with common Microsoft applications, including Excel, and can express yourself professionally in Dutch, French, and English.
