SAFRAN SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS...  As reported on November 25, 2011 Safran has, together with Cadmatic Oy, created a 4D project management solution. First implementation has now started at one of our Nordic customers and we expect the solution to be in production during the Spring time. In the implementation project planners are offered a possibility to visualize the scheduling of the project by providing a 3D model of the construction project at any given time. The model will also visualize progress of the project during the engineering phase by indicating in the model delayed and early activities. It is expected to allow the project managers and planners a better overview and control of the project by providing a practical view of the status.

RECRUITMENT WATCH...  Welcome to the March 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 continues to rise across the UK with a particular focus on planners of all levels with nuclear experience. This surge in demand comes as changes are proposed to accelerate the nuclear decommissioning process as well as recent announcements that EDF are to embark on a massive program of improvements for nuclear sites around the country. Across the Midlands and Anglia we are experiencing increased demand for planners with mechanical and electrical backgrounds as well as continued healthy levels of recruitment for those with general build experience. Further north the demand turns towards rail and petrochemical project experience with a particular focus on senior project controllers and project controls managers. In and around London recruitment for planners remains steadily busy with a wide mix of disciplines and backgrounds being sought. There is particular demand for planners who are looking to work in a client facing role for a number of well known consultancies with offices in the capital.
