Overview of Responsibilities

As Lead Planner, you will support and drive the development of the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) for a high-value, technically complex programme. You’ll provide critical schedule intelligence to senior leadership, ensure robust governance, and enable delivery safely, on time, and within budget.

Working closely with Programme Managers, IPT Directors, and technical teams, you’ll be at the heart of decision-making—translating complexity into clarity and actionable insight.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead Integrated Planning

Develop and maintain a fully integrated, multi-level IMS (L0–L4) across engineering, manufacturing, construction, and commissioning
Drive alignment across programme disciplines, ensuring dependencies and interfaces are clearly defined
Identify critical paths, risks, and optimisation opportunities

Provide Strategic Schedule Insight

Deliver scenario modelling, “what-if” analysis, and data-driven insights to support executive decisions
Develop KPIs and dashboards to track performance and resource utilisation
Lead schedule risk analysis and contribute to programme-level risk management

Drive Programme Planning Excellence

Lead planning for a programme valued at >£20M
Oversee WBS development, baselining, forecasting, and recovery planning
Apply earned value management (EVM) and variance analysis to monitor progress
Assess impacts of change, regulatory requirements, and design evolution

Build Capability

Mentor planners, engineers, and project teams on best practice in planning and scheduling
Champion continuous improvement and industry-leading standards

Lead with Impact

Foster a collaborative, inclusive team culture
Act as a role model for professionalism, integrity, and accountability
Build strong stakeholder relationships across a complex programme environment

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience leading planning on large-scale engineering, manufacturing, or construction programmes
Strong expertise in integrated scheduling, IMS development, and programme controls
Experience with EVM, risk analysis, and scenario planning
Ability to operate at both strategic and detailed levels, influencing senior stakeholders
Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder engagement skills
Background in complex or highly regulated environments (energy, nuclear, infrastructure, etc.) is highly desirable

Why Join Us?

Be part of a ground breaking fusion energy programme with global impact
Work on a first-of-a-kind facility at the cutting edge of science and engineering
Collaborate with world-class experts across multiple disciplines
Opportunity to make a real difference in the transition to clean, sustainable energy
