Job Description Summary
Become part of a winning team and help deliver the Green Energy transition.
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems enable utilities to move more power over longer distances, efficiently integrate renewable energy sources, interconnect grids, and improve network performance. HVDC systems use advanced power electronics technology to convert AC and DC voltage and are ideal for supporting existing infrastructure or developing new power transmission highways.
Join our HVDC team and contribute to the delivery of complex global infrastructure projects that support the transition to sustainable energy.

Role Overview
For a new HVDC project, we are looking for a Lead Project Planner to join the HVDC Project Controls team and support the successful delivery of complex, engineering-led infrastructure projects in line with the defined execution strategy.
This is a senior project planning role, responsible for developing, maintaining and controlling the integrated master project schedule for HVDC scope of work. The role requires close coordination across engineering, procurement, project delivery, suppliers, third-party partners and regional teams to ensure the schedule reflects the full project lifecycle and provides clear visibility of progress, risks, dependencies and opportunities.
The successful candidate will bring strong hands-on project planning experience from a similar complex project environment , such as power transmission, utilities, energy, renewables, EPC, construction, major infrastructure or large capital projects. They will be confident using Primavera P6 to build, analyse and maintain robust project schedules, and will be able to challenge assumptions, drive schedule accountability and support project leadership with accurate planning insight.

Key Responsibilities
Project Planning & Scheduling
Develop tender and project schedules using established project controls tools, planning processes and governance standards.
Build and maintain the integrated master project schedule , consolidating inputs from engineering functions, procurement, project delivery teams, suppliers and third-party partners.
Ensure the schedule reflects all key dependencies and interdependencies across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover activities.
Work closely with engineering functions such as Systems Engineering, Valves Engineering, Control & Protection and NPI to gather schedule inputs and ensure alignment.
Collaborate with procurement and regional project teams to ensure accurate representation of supply chain, manufacturing, delivery and site timelines.
Maintain schedule logic, milestones, baselines, critical path visibility and planning assumptions in line with project requirements.
Schedule Management & Analysis
Maintain and update the project schedule throughout the full project lifecycle.
Conduct schedule analysis to identify potential risks, delays, constraints and opportunities.
Generate look-ahead plans, backlog reports, late activity reporting and milestone tracking to support project prioritisation.
Develop scenario planning and “what-if” analysis to support decision-making, recovery planning and…
