Project Planner

Directorate: Project Management Office
Location: Derby, Manchester, Warrington with Hybrid Working
Reports to: Lead Planner

Why this role matters

We need you to join us as a Project Planner and play a key role in creating and maintaining the schedules that keep our programmes moving. You’ll be our specialist in planning and scheduling—building robust work package schedules that reflect 100% of the scope and directly support confident, informed decision‑making across complex engineering and nuclear‑adjacent environments.

Your work will have real impact: enabling On‑Time Delivery, supporting programme governance, and contributing to a system that underpins the safe and timely delivery of one of the UK’s most complex engineering programmes.

What you’ll be doing

We need you to:

Develop, baseline and maintain work package schedules in line with SMR planning processes and guidance.
Apply deep knowledge of Primavera P6, including WBS architecture, coding, resource structures and user‑defined fields.
Capture and analyse schedule performance, comparing progress vs baseline to support effective decision making.
Work within an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) environment, collaborating with engineering, supply chain, operations, procurement and programme management teams.
Support Earned Value Management (EVM) processes, focusing on the theory and application rather than specific toolsets.
Manage change control and baseline updates, ensuring accurate reflection of approved programme shifts.
Provide mentoring and coaching to junior or apprentice planners as needed, supporting their development as our planning capability grows.

What you’ll bring

There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate. If you meet ~75% of what we’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll bring experience in:

Core Technical Skills

Strong Primavera P6 practitioner‑level capability (front‑end scheduling + architecture).
Working within an IMS / MIP structure, including horizontal & vertical logic.
Knowledge of EVM principles and value management concepts.
Change management and baseline control.

Programme Experience

Experience supporting complex programmes—from engineering to construction to large‑scale technical delivery. Nuclear background is useful but not essential; complexity is more important.

Stakeholder Collaboration

Skilled at working with multidisciplinary teams including engineering, programme management, operations, supply chain and procurement.

Nice to have

Understanding of NEC‑style contractual requirements for schedules (advantageous, not essential).

Qualifications & Training

Primavera P6 Practitioner – mandatory.
APM PMQ (or working towards) – mandatory/flexible.
APM PPC Practitioner (or equivalent) – desirable/willing to work towards.
Experience within a project controls / PMO environment on complex programmes.

Who you’ll work with

You’ll be part of a high‑performing planning team, collaborating daily with:

Lead Planners
Programme managers
Engineers
Supply chain and procurement teams
Operations & manufacturing functions

You’ll also contribute to the coaching and development of junior planners and apprentices as our capability grows.

About you

We’re looking for someone who:

Thinks in systems and structure
Enjoys solving complex problems
Communicates clearly and confidently with varied stakeholders
Likes working in a collaborative, growing planning community
Is excited by engineering and programme complexity—regardless of the sector you come from

What we offer

£50,650 - £66,500 salary
£2,200 benefits allowance
12.5% bonus opportunity
6x pensionable life assurance
50% income protection
28 days holiday + bank holidays
£250 new joiner payment
Flexible & part‑time working options available

Ready to apply?

If you’re excited by complex engineering challenges and want to help shape the future of our planning capability, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay Range:

£50,600.00

£66,465.00

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining a forward-thinking organisation that values transparency, fairness, and innovation. We offer:

A flexible, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling business.
A culture that values diversity, innovation, and continuous learning.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Inclusivity is important to us, and as a Disability Confident organisation, we are committed to fair, supportive, and continually improving recruitment practices that ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.

Also, if you are considering a career move or a sector-jump, please get in touch – we welcome applications from people with transferable skills.

Our Application Process

Due to the safety regulations within the nuclear industry, applicants will be required to participate in additional screening. These are:

Obtaining Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance
Satisfactory completion of a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
Satisfactory completion of a basic financial probity check
