MEP Planner (M&E Building Services)

MEP Planner M&E Building Services

London, near Liverpool Street Station £65,000 £95,000 OR £350 - £480 P.D DOE + Benefits Hybrid & Flexible

This M&E contractor has gone from subcontractor to tier one in a matter of years, and they're showing no signs of slowing down. They specialise in data centres and commercial projects, and have just secured their first Data Centre project in Europe, the kind of leap most contractors spend a decade chasing and never quite manage.

With turnover past £60m and the order book only growing, they're looking to strengthen their planning function and because of where they are in that growth, they're open to bringing in planners at a few different levels, from intermediate right through to senior, which is why the salary spans £65,000 to £95,000 depending on experience.

This isn't a role where you sit in the background keeping a programme ticking over. They want planners who've genuinely lived M&E, ideally someone who's come up through the tools and understands how the work actually gets built, not just how it gets scheduled on paper. You'll be working across live data centre and commercial projects in London, running MS Project or P6, with real influence over how the planning function is shaped as the business expands into Europe. For anyone at the more senior end, there's also scope to mentor planners coming up through the team.

What they're looking for:

• Planning experience within M&E or building services
• A background on the tools is a real bonus, though not essential
• Confident running MS Project or P6 without hand-holding
• Comfortable juggling multiple live projects and senior stakeholders
• London-based, or happy working across London sites

What's on offer:

• Permanent: £65,000 £95,000 DOE + Benefits
• Contracting: £350 - £480 P.D DOE (Outside IR35)
• Hybrid and flexible working
• A front-row seat on major data centre and banking sector projects
• A genuine leadership path as the team scales up
• Support toward further qualifications, if you want them

This is a business that's already proven it can compete at tier one level and is now pushing further. Getting involved now means shaping how the planning function grows, rather than stepping into something that's already been decided.
