Senior Project Planner – Nuclear (Sizewell C)

Ipswich | Hybrid

Competitive Salary + Benefits

Join a Bespoke Consultancy Shaping the UK's Most Ambitious Nuclear Programme

We're recruiting on behalf of a specialist, boutique consultancy known for delivering high-impact project controls and planning expertise across the UK's most complex infrastructure portfolios. Now, they're expanding their team — and they're looking for a Senior Planning Engineer who thrives in environments where complexity sparks innovation.

If you're the planner who sees challenge as opportunity…

If you navigate NEC with ease and command P6 with confidence…

If you want your work to influence major national outcomes…

This is the role that puts you right at the heart of Sizewell C.

Your Impact

As a Senior Planning Engineer, you won't simply manage schedules — you'll architect the structure behind a multi-billion-pound delivery programme.

You will:

  • Take full ownership of planning activities across key areas of the Sizewell C development
  • Build, maintain, and refine integrated schedules within Primavera P6
  • Lead critical path analysis, risk-informed planning, and performance reporting
  • Ensure total alignment with NEC contract requirements and best-practice controls
  • Collaborate with engineering, delivery, and commercial teams to turn data into real, actionable insight

Your decisions will enhance certainty, improve predictability, and help steer one of the UK's most strategically important infrastructure programmes.

What You Bring

  • Strong planning experience across major infrastructure, nuclear, or complex capital projects
  • Deep, practical understanding of NEC forms of contract
  • Advanced competency in Primavera P6
  • A detail-driven mindset and commitment to programme integrity
  • Confidence in influencing, challenging, and guiding stakeholders at all levels

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

By joining a bespoke consultancy, you benefit from a more personalised, agile, and empowering environment — free from the constraints of large corporate structures.

  • Hybrid working that supports flexibility and collaboration
  • Competitive salary + excellent benefits
  • High-profile involvement on one of the UK's most nationally significant nuclear programmes
  • Clear pathways for progression into lead and principal planning roles
  • A consultancy culture that values autonomy, impact, and professional growth

Ready to Step into a Role with Real Influence?

If you're eager to elevate your career and leave a mark on a project that will shape the UK's energy future, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now — and discover what's possible with a bespoke consultancy behind you.
