Planning work that matters

When a complex infrastructure project is at stake, planning is not just a process. It is a deciding factor. Schedules shape budgets, risks, delivery paths and client confidence.
This organisation supports major programmes across the UK’s critical infrastructure, including defence, nuclear, energy and transport. As a Senior Planner, you will join a trusted planning function that works at the centre of high value projects, where structured thinking and timely insight make a real difference.

Your role in the project

You will manage full schedule development and performance tracking using Primavera P6, with responsibility for:

Building and maintaining detailed, logic linked schedules
Leading baseline control, progress updates and critical path reviews
Producing integrated outputs across cost, risk and time
Supporting workshops, stakeholder reviews and reporting cycles
Driving EVM analysis and scenario planning to support decisions
What you bring

You have worked on complex infrastructure projects, ideally within defence or nuclear, and bring experience in:

Primavera P6 and earned value reporting
NEC or similar contractual environments
Communicating effectively across delivery and commercial teams
Understanding how planning links with cost and risk
Environment and progression

You will join a collaborative team that values planning as a core technical discipline. There is structured progression, support for further development and the opportunity to move between sectors.
This is a hybrid role with some site attendance expected, depending on location.

This is a permanent role.
