Global Planning Lead – Data Centres | £80,000 - £110,000 | London (Hybrid)

Pre-construction focus | P6 & Asta | Strategic impact

A leading consultancy is looking for a Global Planning Lead to take the reins on pre-construction planning across a portfolio of major data centre projects - starting with a flagship scheme in Central London.

This is a client-facing role focused on programme development at pre-construction stage. It requires strong planning expertise, the ability to work independently, and experience in technically complex, fast-moving environments.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead pre-construction planning activities for a key data centre client.
  • Develop and maintain high-level programmes using Primavera P6 and Asta.
  • Standardise planning processes across multiple projects and regions.
  • Work directly with the client's team to provide planning input into delivery strategy and project sequencing.
  • Provide progress reporting, forecasting, and scenario planning as required.
  • Attend the client's offices in Victoria three days per week.

Required experience:

  • Proven planning experience on data centre construction projects.
  • Strong working knowledge of both P6 and Asta software.
  • Experience in consultancy environments, ideally in a client-facing capacity.
  • Understanding of pre-construction workflows including procurement and early-stage design development.
  • Familiarity with major construction contract forms such as NEC or FIDIC, and their implications for programme development and reporting.

Why apply?

This role offers the opportunity to lead planning on complex, high-value data centre projects from pre-construction stage. It's a visible, client-facing position with clear responsibility and the potential to shape planning processes across a wider programme.

There is scope for progression into a more senior leadership role based on performance and delivery. The consultancy offers a structured environment with clear responsibilities, established client relationships, and a competitive salary and benefits package.
