ABOUT XYZ REALITY
──────────────────────────────
XYZ Reality are the creators of the world's first and only engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution, purpose built for the construction industry. Not only have we created this holographic technology, that sits within The Atom — a smart, site-safe headset/hardhat — but we implement it on projects, utilising the power of AR to ensure that all schemes are completed in line with delivery timescales and budgets.
XYZ has grown to over 100 staff across the UK, US & Europe and is working with Mission Critical organisations & construction companies to successfully deliver major projects.
THE ROLE
──────────────────────────────
Our model combines a new age of 4D Scheduling with objective, real-time insights using Augmented Reality for quality and progress tracking.
As a Planner at XYZ Reality, you will be responsible for managing the planning and delivery of projects across multiple locations, working in collaboration with our engineering, production and sales teams to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
We're open to planners from a wide range of project-based industries — including Oil & Gas, Energy, Infrastructure, and Manufacturing — where complex, multi-disciplinary programme management is second nature. If you're an experienced planner who's curious about construction technology and excited by the opportunity to apply your skills in a new sector, we want to hear from you.
We believe in fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement — and you will have the opportunity to shape the future of our company whilst making a meaningful impact on the construction industry.

KEY EXPERIENCE & SKILLS
──────────────────────────────
• Strong programme management skills — able to integrate schedules, sequences, and dependencies across multi-disciplinary project workstreams.
• Ability to analyse a project sequence, identify risks and coordination issues, and drive resolution — regardless of industry background.
• A relentless and dynamic approach to working with people, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive the best outcomes.
• Able to coach and challenge both management and non-specialists; comfortable operating across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong client-facing communication skills with experience in regular progress reporting at senior level.
