Senior Planner
London
£85,000 - £115,000 + Travel Allowance + Bonus + Pension + Holidays + Private Medical Insurance + Career Progression + Immediate Start
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Planner to join a leading contractor delivering a major mission‑critical construction project in Iver. This role is specifically suited to a planner who understands how projects are physically built-not someone who simply updates schedules.
You will take ownership of developing a fully coordinated and buildable construction programme, using federated BIM models to understand installation logic, sequencing and interfaces. You'll work in a fast‑paced, technically demanding environment where planning is central to successful project delivery.
The company places a strong emphasis on site engagement, technical understanding and genuine programme ownership. Strong performers will benefit from excellent progression opportunities into Lead Planner and Planning Manager positions.
Your Role as a Senior Planner Will Include:
- Developing and managing detailed construction programmes informed by federated BIM models.
- Working closely with project managers, engineers and site teams to align programme logic with installation methodology.
- Coordinating complex MEP and CSA sequences and interfaces across a mission‑critical project.
- Identifying programme risks, constraints and clashes early and developing practical mitigation strategies.
- Monitoring site progress, producing accurate reports and maintaining programme integrity.
- Supporting project teams with look‑ahead planning, critical‑path analysis and recovery programmes.
As a Senior Planner, You Will Need:
- Experience working as a Senior Planner, Construction Planner or Planning Engineer.
- A strong construction planning background on technically complex projects.
- The ability to build programmes from drawings, scopes and BIM models-not simply maintain existing schedules.
- Experience delivering large‑scale projects valued at £50 million or more, ideally within data centres, industrial or high‑tech facilities.
- Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6 and/or Asta Powerproject.
- A practical understanding of MEP and CSA construction sequencing.
- Confident communication skills and a delivery‑focused mindset.
- The flexibility to work site‑based in Iver.
