Construction Planner / Engineer - M&E / HVAC
£60,000 - £95,000 + onsite bonus + expenses
Permanent | Home-based contract | 3 days per week onsite in Bridgwater
Essential:
Sole British Nationality
We are recruiting across several permanent planning positions supporting a major UK engineering construction programme.
There are opportunities for experienced Lead Planners, Principal Construction Planners and Planning Engineers as well as technically strong Mechanical, Electrical or HVAC engineers who want to move into project planning.
The common thread is technical understanding.
This is not a generic Planning, Project Controls or reporting role. The programme needs people who understand the Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC work sitting behind a schedule and how complex construction, installation, testing and commissioning activities fit together.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we are looking for:
For experienced planners, you should bring:
- Hands-on Primavera P6 planning and scheduling experience
- Strong Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC, M&E, MEP or MEH construction knowledge
- Experience planning construction, installation, testing or commissioning activity
- Understanding of programme logic, dependencies, progress, forecasting and critical path
- Experience within complex engineering, construction, infrastructure or comparable major-project environments
Direct experience in a highly regulated environment would be useful although strong transferable technical construction planning experience will also be considered.
Engineer-to-Planner route
We are also interested in experienced Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC engineers who understand project delivery and would like to develop into a planning career.
You do not need an established Planner title or extensive P6 experience for this route.
You will need strong practical engineering knowledge plus an understanding of sequencing, dependencies, work packages, installation, testing, commissioning and project delivery.

Working arrangements
The employment contract is home-based with three days per week onsite in Bridgwater.
Travel and site-related expenses are paid. There is also an additional recurring onsite bonus for the required site attendance.
Eligibility
Due to the requirements of these permanent positions, applicants must be sole British nationals and willing and eligible to undertake the required security vetting.
