Leading London-based MEP contractor specialising in commercial office fit-outs, data centres, life sciences, and infrastructure projects is seeking a Senior MEP Planner to join their growing team. The successful candidate will play a key role in the planning and delivery of complex mechanical and electrical projects, supporting both pre-construction and live project stages to ensure programmes are robust, fully integrated, and deliverable.

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Senior MEP Planner to support the planning and delivery of complex mechanical and electrical projects. This role plays a key part across both pre-construction and live project stages, developing robust, fully integrated MEP programmes that ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with contractual milestones.

* Integrate MEP works into the overall master construction programme, ensuring alignment with design, procurement, commissioning, and third-party interfaces.

* Work closely with project managers, site teams, design managers, estimators, and commercial teams to validate planning assumptions, logic, and durations.

* Provide programme narratives, sequencing logic, and critical path analysis for internal reporting, client reviews, and progress meetings.

* Monitor programme performance, identify risks and delays, and develop mitigation and recovery strategies to maintain project delivery objectives.

* Produce and analyse planning outputs including critical path and milestone analysis, look-ahead programmes, labour histograms and resource profiles, and schedule risk assessments with mitigation plans.

* Support value engineering and alternative sequencing solutions where beneficial to programme efficiency and delivery certainty.

* Participate in site visits, progress reviews, and coordination meetings to gather planning intelligence and ensure alignment with site activities.

* Support commissioning and handover planning, ensuring all MEP activities are correctly sequenced and aligned with project completion milestones.

* Maintain effective communication with internal stakeholders, clients, and senior management regarding programme status, risks, and recovery actions.

* Maintain awareness of current UK building regulations, construction standards, and industry best practice relevant to MEP delivery.
