Senior MEP Planner | Tier 1 Major Projects

Location: London & Home (Hybrid / Flexible Working)

Sector: Construction / Commercial Building


I am working with a leading Tier 1 main contractor who are seeking a talented Senior MEP Planner to support a portfolio of high-profile projects across the London region. Contributing throughout both the pre-construction and delivery stages, you will play a key role within their bid and construction teams.


The Role

In this senior capacity, you will provide MEP planning expertise to ensure programme certainty, mitigate delay risks, and drive strategic delivery. Your core responsibilities will include:

  • Programme Leadership: Develop, coordinate, and integrate MEP work sequences, ensuring alignment with construction, procurement, and design activities.
  • Risk & Assurance: Oversee programme risk identification and mitigation, driving proactive forecasting while monitoring cause-and-effect relationships to recommend time-recovery solutions.
  • Tender & Delivery Integration: Prepare detailed tender, design, procurement, manufacture, and construction programmes to support bid competitiveness and delivery success.
  • Subcontractor Management: Review, challenge, and integrate specialist subcontractor programmes to ensure compliance with strategic objectives.
  • Reporting & Communication: Chair programme workshops, produce regular progress reports (including critical path reviews and baseline updates), and draw up visual schedules of work.
  • Technical Excellence: Enhance buildability, safety, quality, and value through thorough programme analysis, while providing vital input into the commissioning and handover process.
  • Team Development: Mentor and develop junior planners to build long-term capability across the region.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Maintain a highly professional approach with clients, professional teams, subcontractors, and suppliers.


What You Will Bring

To succeed in this role, you should have proven experience planning large, complex developments across multiple sectors. We are looking for:

  • Tier 1 Experience: Proven track record working with Tier 1 main contractors on multi-sector major projects within Central London.
  • Technical MEP Expertise: Strong knowledge of building services installation sequences and interfaces, with a specific focus on commercial building.
  • Contract & Tender Knowledge: Familiarity with both two-stage and single-stage tender processes, alongside experience with NEC and JCT forms of contract.
  • Software Proficiency: Highly skilled in Asta Powerproject and Microsoft applications. Working knowledge of Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks is highly beneficial.
  • Industry Acumen: Strong understanding of modern construction methods, sustainability requirements, and digital integration.
  • Qualifications: Holds a relevant construction, engineering, or design qualification alongside professional accreditation (e.g., CIOB or equivalent).
  • Communication Skills: An excellent communicator who can manage complex programmes, forecast risk, and provide high-level assurance collaboratively.
