Initial CED 31/12/2025
The construction planner will support the construction lead planner develop and progress the integrated level 5 schedule which encompasses the full MEH scope. The level 5 schedule also reflects interfaces with other tier 1 partners to ensure they are fully integrated.
The MEH Deputy Lead Planner is part of the MEH Programme, working with the PDO planning team, Delivery Integration and the Area Management teams.
Principal Accountabilities
The development, integrations, design, testing & commissioning of detailed construction schedules within the MEH phase
Considering all aspects of integrated mechanical, electrical and HVAC (MEH) planning for works on the Hinkley Point C project. This will involve conducting integrated schedule reviews to develop detailed, optimised construction delivery sequences and resource loaded schedules.
Integration of construction works activities with all HPC programmes within the MEH schedules to optimise the planning process. The role will be instrumental in addressing interfaces at. The detailed construction schedules support the overall project integrated works schedule (IWS) and the 16-week look ahead process to un-constrain work and deliver schedule adherence.
The management and update of the schedule data within the planning and production control toolsets
Support for the performance optimisation / influence of the 4D capability on the performance of Safety, Quality, Cost, Time & Risk across the life-cycle delivery of the MEH scope of Work
Ensure that MEH installation schedule is supported by the relevant digital tool sets and data to ensure that its performance always meets the needs of the delivery of the MEH Scope of Work
Ensuring that MEH Programme construction schedules are produced, managed, and maintained in accordance with the planning procedures and contract requirements.
Reporting of site progress using various methods, and ensuring the construction are informed of relevant schedule data.
Key Deliverables:
Advocating safe and effective planning of works for site construction.
Ensuring that conventional and nuclear safety considerations are recognised as essential to the success of the project and built into the planning processes.
Developing detailed plans to a facility and/or area basis which integrate, co-ordinate and sequence work activities to achieve the optimum construction sequence paying particular attention to contractor interfaces at site within the 16 -week horizon.
Communicate schedule resource requirements, durations, and associated quantity information to the construction leads
Support the project periodic look ahead process with the rolling extract of an integrated schedule
Identifying planning scope, major constraints, and contract requirements
Identifying quantities and factors affecting the programme
Establishing and agreeing with Delivery construction outputs and agree working hours
Develop resource, material, and quantities profiles from the level 5 schedule to support delivery readiness, particularly bulk MEH material and equipment delivery needs
Develop schedule metrics and reporting to allow measurement of schedule adherence and planned/actual schedule performance.
Work with the 4D team to develop animated schedule sequences and enhance the 4D tools and capability on the project, particularly for construction coordination purposes.
Work with the construction teams and the PDO to develop visual management capabilities for deployment in the field by the construction and contract partner teams
Encouraging the development of HPC lessons learned to support future project execution.
