Job Title: Project Planner & Senior Project Planner (TfL / London Underground projects)
Location: London (Hybrid – 3 Days Office/Site, 2 Days WFH)
Salary / Rate:
- Permanent: £50,000 – £85,000 per annum (DOE) + Benefits
- Contract: £400 – £500 per day (Inside IR35)
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Project Planner and a Senior Project Planner to join our Major Infrastructure & Rail team, delivering critical capital projects across the London Underground (TfL) network.
You will lead the end-to-end planning, baseline management, and execution of complex rail engineering packages—ranging from major station upgrades, signalling renewals, and track infrastructure, to MEP, deep tube refurbishments, and step-free access schemes.
Working within an NEC contract environment, you will be pivotal in translating complex engineering constraints into robust, deliverable Primavera P6 integrated schedules.
Key Responsibilities
Project Planner (£50,000 – £65,000 | £400 – £450/day)
- Develop, maintain, and baseline detailed, logic-linked Primavera P6 schedules across all project phases (Design, Procurement, ECI, Construction, Commissioning).
- Perform critical path analysis, track progress against baselines, and highlight potential slippages early to the Project Delivery team.
- Liaise with site engineers, sub-contractors, and commercial QS teams to integrate progress updates, change events, and cost-loaded milestones into the master schedule.
- Produce weekly/monthly progress reports, CL32 submission programmes, and visual S-curve reports.
- Ensure strict adherence to TfL’s Pathways delivery process, station access protocols, and possession management guidelines.
- Support the administration of NEC project controls, including Early Warnings, RFIs, and Compensation Events (CEs) impact assessments.
