Job Description

Senior Planner 

Bristol

£85,000 - £115,000 + Travel Allowance + Bonus + Pension + Holidays + Private Medical Insurance + Career Progression + Immediate Start

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Construction Planner to join a leading contractor delivering major construction projects across the UK. This role is specifically suited to a planner who understands how projects are actually built - not just sequenced.

This position is ideal for planners who can take a federated BIM model, understand interfaces and installation logic, and translate that into a fully coordinated, buildable construction programme. You'll be working in a fast-paced, technically demanding environment where planning is central to delivery, not a back-office function.

The business places strong emphasis on site engagement, technical understanding, and real programme ownership, offering clear progression into Senior Planner and Planning Manager roles for strong performers.

The Role as a Construction Planner Will Include:

Developing and managing construction programmes directly informed by federated BIM models
Working closely with project managers, engineers, and site teams to align programme logic with real installation methodology
Coordinating complex MEP/CSA sequences and interfaces, ensuring programme certainty on a mission-critical project
Identifying programme risks, constraints, and clashes early, and driving practical mitigation strategies
Tracking progress on site, producing accurate reports, and supporting delivery teams to maintain programme integrity
As a Construction Planner, You Will Need:

Experience as a Planner, Senior Planner, or Planning Engineer within construction
Strong background in planning 
The ability to build a programme from a BIM model, not just update schedules in P6 or Asta
Experience on large-scale, technically complex projects (£50m+), ideally data centres, industrial, or high-tech facilities
Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6 and/or Asta Powerproject, supported by real construction understanding
Confident communication skills and a delivery-focused mindset
