We are seeking an experienced Senior Planner to join a major infrastructure programme, supporting the planning and delivery of complex Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC (MEH) installation scopes within a highly regulated environment.
This is not a role for a scheduler or junior planner. We're looking for a true planning professional who can hit the ground running, challenge where necessary, coordinate complex interfaces, and provide meaningful programme leadership across multiple stakeholders and delivery partners.
This is a permanent position working 4 days a week on site at Hicnkley Point C in Somerset with 1 days at home.
The Role
Working within an integrated project team, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining complex schedules across major MEH installation activities. You'll play a key role in coordinating interfaces between contractors, disciplines, and stakeholders to ensure efficient project delivery.
You will bring a strong understanding of EPC project delivery, integrated planning methodologies, and project controls technologies, alongside the confidence to operate autonomously within a demanding project environment.

- Practical knowledge of EPC delivery models within the UK.
- Experience applying integrated planning frameworks on large-scale, complex programmes.
- Ability to proactively identify issues, drive solutions, and influence project teams without requiring constant direction.
- Degree qualified (or equivalent) in Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or a related discipline.
Highly Desirable Background
We are particularly interested in individuals who have:
- An Oil & Gas background transitioning into major infrastructure or nuclear projects.
- Previous site-based experience in delivery, supervision, or project management before moving into planning.
- Experience on large-scale installation projects involving significant mechanical scope.
- Experience working across multiple contractors, partners, and delivery organisations in complex project environments.
