Are you ready to drive planning excellence on one of the UK’s flagship rail infrastructure programmes? Our client – a powerhouse in the project controls and planning consultancy space – is looking for a Lead Planning Engineer to take the reins on a multi-million-pound scheme based out of Milton Keynes. This is your chance to lead from the front, bring innovation to the planning process, and make a real impact on the future of UK rail.

* Build and manage fully integrated schedules using Primavera P6 and cutting-edge tools.
* Lead the definition of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and all work packages.
* Drive the integration of design, procurement, and construction activities into one seamless project roadmap.
* Conduct delay analyses and craft robust mitigation strategies.
* Own and deliver Earned Value Management reporting and planning.
* Facilitate planning sessions and resolve cross-discipline conflicts before they become roadblocks.
* Provide proactive schedule risk assessments using tools like Primavera Risk Analysis.
* Act as the key liaison between client teams, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
? What You Bring
* A degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or similar.
* A proven track record as a Planning Engineer in rail, infrastructure, aviation, defence, civils, nuclear, or utilities.
* Expertise in Primavera P6, MS Project, and the tools that make complex schedules work in the real world.
* Clear communication, problem-solving instincts, and the ability to lead in high-pressure environments.
