An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Construction Planner to join a leading contractor delivering major construction projects across the UK. This role is specifically suited to a planner who understands how projects are actually built – not just sequenced. You will be working in a fast‑paced, technically demanding environment where planning is central to delivery, not a back‑office function.

The business places strong emphasis on site engagement, technical understanding, and real programme ownership, offering clear progression into Senior Planner and Planning Manager roles for strong performers.

• Develop and manage construction programmes directly informed by federated BIM models.
• Work closely with project managers, engineers, and site teams to align programme logic with real installation methodology.
• Coordinate complex MEP/CSA sequences and interfaces, ensuring programme certainty on mission‑critical projects.
• Identify programme risks, constraints, and clashes early and drive practical mitigation strategies.
• Track progress on site, produce accurate reports, and support delivery teams to maintain programme integrity.

• Experience as a Planner, Senior Planner, or Planning Engineer within construction.
• Strong background in planning.
• Ability to build a programme from a BIM model, not just update schedules in P6 or Asta.
• Experience on large‑scale, technically complex projects (£50m+), ideally data centres, industrial, or high‑tech facilities.
• Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6 and/or Asta Power project, supported by real construction understanding.
• Confident communication skills and a delivery‑focused mindset.
