Bekk R Solutions are delighted to once again be supporting a national MEP Building Services Contractor looking to add the support of a Senior Planner (MEP / Building Services Engineering) to their northern team. This role will require site presence across a number of schemes; applicants will need MEP and Asta / Primavera experience.

The main purpose of the role is to plan the allocated high value / complex project producing workable realistic and efficient programmes of work which meet an appropriate standard for the contract conditions and both internal and client requirements. Plans will be implemented with the best-practice approach utilising Critical Path Analysis, Resource Planning, Cost Management and Progress/Productivity Monitoring and Control.

Day to day,

* Arrange and facilitate internal integrated planning meetings with relevant project stakeholders to agree the team input into the project plan and work closely with said team and our external customer. Produce and agree a ‘Contract Baseline’ programme for each allocated project; that aligns with the agreed formal contract, price and workscope, and reduces risk for the business.

Support operational teams in order to ascertain whether project targets are being achieved and to jointly establish and agree any corrective measures to be taken where necessary.

* Take responsibility for all allocated projects, ensuring that progress and productivity is effectively monitored against project plan, produce and circulate clear reports to the appropriate stakeholders in a concise and timely manner (e.g. Resource Histograms, 'S' Curves, Earned Value Analysis).

* Maintain and update contract baseline in line with agreed contract change (eg variations). Ensure that change impacts are effectively communicated to Operations and Commercial Teams. Ensure that the inclusion of variations are communicated and integrated into project plans.

* In conjunction with the Planning Manager, perform Time/Risk analysis against programmes at regular intervals with the Project Manager throughout the whole project life cycle.

* Participate within bid activity as requested by the senior management; working in conjunction with the Business Development department, in line with the Focus Win processes.

* Ensure that all planning related activities are carried out in compliance with contractual obligations, internal processes and external legislation governing business operations.

What you’ll need to succeed,

* Considerable experience in a planning role on medium to large MEP / Industrial Building Services projects – MEP project experience is essential.

* Planning Software knowledge – Primavera P6 or Asta

* Experience of NEC 3 contracts (desirable)

In return, we are offering a competitive annual salary (circa £67,000), car allowance (£4,800), and package there on as assumed of a national leader (9% pension, medical etc). In addition, you would be afforded access to large scale MEP projects, with ample onward growth opportunities.
