Planning the UK's most complex construction projects?

If you're an experienced Senior Planner who enjoys working on technically challenging projects where your expertise genuinely influences delivery, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

My client is a specialist design and build contractor delivering some of the UK's most complex projects across the data centre, defence and energy sectors. They are known for tackling challenging engineering environments, building long term client relationships and delivering projects that demand exceptional planning from day one.

They are now looking to appoint a Senior Planner to support the delivery of a flagship data centre development in West London, alongside future projects across their growing portfolio.

The Opportunity

This is far more than producing programmes.

You'll work closely with project and commercial teams, developing robust construction programmes, advising on sequencing and methodology, identifying programme risks and helping drive successful project delivery from pre construction through to completion.

You'll also play a key role in tender planning, delay analysis, reporting and mentoring planners, helping to raise planning standards across the business.

If you enjoy influencing projects rather than simply reporting on them, you'll fit in well here.

We're Looking for Someone Who Has

• Significant experience planning major construction projects.


• Strong knowledge of construction methodology, sequencing and programme management.


• Experience supporting both tenders and live projects.


• Working knowledge of Primavera P6, ASTA Powerproject or MS Project.


• The confidence to engage with project teams, clients and senior stakeholders.


• Experience within data centres, defence, mission critical, energy or other technically complex construction environments would be highly desirable.

What's on Offer

• £85,000 to £90,000 salary


• Car allowance


• Competitive pension


• Private healthcare and cash plan


• Electric vehicle scheme


• Cycle to work scheme


• Eyecare vouchers


• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays and your birthday off

This is an opportunity to join a business delivering projects that few contractors have the capability to undertake, where planning is recognised as a critical part of successful project delivery.

If you're ready for your next challenge, I'd be delighted to have a confidential conversation.
