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.
