Planners are generally responsible for the planning of certain processes, strategies or productions. They hold positions in many industries, where they develop plans but also manage the related implementation processes.
There are different types of planners, e.g. construction planners, production planners, electrical planners, media planners or strategic planners – thus, planners can work in different industries and are highly sought-after.
The individual tasks of planners vary depending on the area of work.
An academic degree in a technical or construction-related is an advantage, but a technical vocational qualification may also be sufficient. In many other industries, an appropriate vocational degree, e.g. as a planner of technical building services or electrical planner, ideally with a master certification, is required.
Planners have a job involving a high level of responsibility and therefore usually have a high salary. On average, their annual salary amounts to between EUR 40,000 and EUR 60,000; with increasing professional experience and responsibility, it may rise up to EUR 80,000.
