Senior Planner

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Senior Planner to join the HS2 Track Infrastructure Project during its initial design phase. This phase will run alongside the completion of main works contracts, which are currently at their peak. The FBRS team will mobilise as soon as civil works are complete and will operate under a collaborative Rail Systems Alliance structure, designed to manage interfaces and resolve programme conflicts.

This role demands strong leadership and initiative to proactively develop and maintain realistic programmes, coordinating closely with design, supply chain, construction, and client teams.

Candidates will be based in our London office, located near Euston Station, and may be required to visit client offices in Birmingham on occasion.

Your mission as a Senior Planner:

  • Develop, manage, and maintain cost- and resource-loaded Primavera P6 (Cl32) programmes, ensuring compliance with contract requirements and overall project objectives, including responsibility for the programme narrative.
  • Collaborate with project managers, designers, commercial leads, project controls, field engineers, and other stakeholders to gather data, assess progress, and identify risks or delays.
  • Conduct regular schedule reviews and updates, providing accurate progress reports and highlighting critical and near-critical path activities.
  • Coordinate with project controls to track and report performance using Earned Value Management (EVM) and other relevant metrics.
  • Support change management processes, assessing schedule impacts from variations.
  • Mentor and support junior planning staff as the project expands.
  • Evaluate and challenge design and supply chain programmes in line with NEC requirements.
  • Generate, update, and maintain time-chainage diagrams.
  • Coordinate and lead Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA).
  • Develop “What-If” scenarios and reports detailing assumptions, risks, and opportunities, presenting these clearly to FBRS and client teams.
  • Produce and chair collaborative planning workshops with clients, operational teams, and subcontractors.

Who are we looking for?

  • Proven experience as a Senior Planner on large-scale projects (£200m+).
  • Experience in joint venture, design or alliance environments (beneficial but not essential).
  • Extensive planning and scheduling experience within construction (rail systems experience desirable but not essential).
  • Qualification in civil engineering or construction (HND level or equivalent).
  • Strong knowledge of construction techniques with commercial and contractual awareness.
  • Comfortable in client-facing roles with excellent communication skills.
  • Demonstrable ability to develop, own, and drive programmes.
  • Proficient in planning software (Primavera P6, MS Project; 4D experience is advantageous). Experience with time‑location planning is desirable but not essential.
  • Ability to work to challenging timescales and maintain effective relationships across teams.
  • Desirable: experience in Earned Value Management and knowledge of NEC contracts and public sector procurement processes.

*Please note that this job description does not represent a comprehensive list of activities and employees may be requested to undertake other reasonable duties.

Seize the challenge. Move the world together! Innovative, creative, respectful, and diverse are some of the ways we describe ourselves. We are motivated by challenges, and we collaborate across our business units to move the world together. Your journey to a fulfilling career starts here!
