This Role

As Senior Integration Planner, you will own the integrated master schedule across our infrastructure delivery portfolio, bringing engineering, commercial, risk, and assurance activity together into a single, defensible plan. You'll be the person leadership and clients turn to when they need confidence that complex, security-sensitive infrastructure work is planned to withstand scrutiny and change.

You will work at the interface of delivery, governance, and client assurance, translating scope and constraint into schedule logic that holds up under audit. This is a role for someone who wants their planning judgement trusted at the highest levels of a programme.

• Integrate cross-functional inputs from engineering, delivery, commercial, and risk teams into a single coherent schedule
• Lead schedule risk analysis, including quantitative techniques such as Monte Carlo simulation
• Assess the schedule impact of change requests and support formal change control and baseline management
• Produce clear planning reports and dashboards for governance boards, senior stakeholders, and client reviews
• Support assurance reviews, audits, and gate readiness assessments to defence and government standards
• Provide planning input to bids, proposals, and contract negotiations
• Mentor planners across the portfolio and drive consistent adoption of planning standards

Skills

• Fluent in WBS/CBS structuring and integration of cost- and resource-loaded schedules
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate schedule logic and identify critical path risk
• Clear, precise communication suited to senior governance and client audiences
• Sound judgement under time pressure, with the discipline required for security-sensitive delivery
• Collaborative style, able to align engineering, commercial, and delivery stakeholders

Qualifications

• Degree in engineering, construction management, project management, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
• Recognised planning qualification or accreditation (e.g. APM PMQ, Primavera certification) desirable
• Eligible to obtain and hold UK security clearance (SC); existing clearance advantageous
