Lead Mechanical Construction Planner
Cavendish Nuclear
Hinkley Point C

At Babcock, we're working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as a Lead Mechanical Construction Planner at Hinkley Point C, near Bridgwater, Somerset.

The role

As a Lead Mechanical Construction Planner, you'll take ownership of mechanical construction planning activities on a major infrastructure programme, leading a team responsible for ensuring construction schedules are integrated, achievable and aligned with key project milestones. Your work will provide critical visibility of construction readiness, interfaces, constraints and schedule risks, supporting the safe, coordinated and predictable delivery of complex engineering works.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a project that supports the UK's future infrastructure and engineering capability. Working alongside multidisciplinary teams, you'll help drive project success while developing your leadership, planning and project controls expertise in a dynamic environment at the forefront of engineering excellence.

Day-to-day, you'll be required to:

• Leading and coordinating the Mechanical Construction Planning team to support project delivery.
• Developing and maintaining integrated Level 5 mechanical construction schedules aligned to programme milestones.
• Confirming activities entering the four-week planning window are sufficiently mature and ready for construction.
• Identifying and managing interfaces between mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and other delivery disciplines.
• Producing mechanical planning reports, progress reviews and contributions to the overall 16-week lookahead programme.

This role is full time, 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, based at Hinkley Point C. Hybrid working patterns are available.

Requirements:

• Significant experience, typically 10 years or more, within a construction planning, project controls or engineering planning environment.
• Experience leading or managing planning teams within major construction or infrastructure projects.
• Experience developing and managing integrated construction schedules.
• Experience using Primavera P6 planning software.
• Experience working in site-based construction, maintenance, outage or shutdown planning environments
• Higher National Certificate in an Engineering discipline.

Security Clearance

The successful candidate must be a valid UK passport holder, with the ability to achieve and maintain Security Check (SC) United Kingdom Security Vetting: clearance levels - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
