About the company

Fancy joining an M&E contractor that's actually going somewhere? This lot have gone from subcontractor to tier one in the space of a few years, and they're not slowing down for anyone.

They're now delivering 3 data centres and working directly with banking sector clients, plus they've just landed their first European Data Centre project. That's the kind of growth most contractors talk about for a decade and never actually pull off.

Turnover's sitting at £60m and climbing, the order book's stacking up, and now they need a planner who can come in and join the exsisting team of 2.

The role

This isn't a back-office role where you're just keeping the programme ticking along. They want someone who's lived and breathed M&E planning, ideally someone who's come up through the tools and actually knows how the work gets built, not just how it gets scheduled.

You'll own the planning strategy across live data centre and commercial projects in London, working in MS Project or P6, and you'll have real scope to shape how the planning function grows as the business pushes into Europe. There's also room to mentor and develop more junior planners coming through.

Who they're looking for

• Planner experience within M&E or building services
• A background on the tools is a real bonus, not essential, but genuinely valued
• Confident running MS Project or P6 without hand-holding
• Used to juggling multiple live projects and senior stakeholders
• London-based or happy working across London sites

What's on offer

• £70,000 to £95,000 DOE + Benefits
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Front-row seat on major data centre and banking sector projects
• A genuine leadership path as the team scales up
• Support towards further qualifications if you want them

Why it's worth a conversation

They've proven they can compete at tier one level, they're pushing into Europe, and they need someone to help build out the planning function properly. Get in now and you're shaping things, not just slotting into something that's already been decided.
