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.
