Salary: £50000-80000 + £1500/mo travel Alloance

An exciting opportunity exists for Planning Engineers skilled in the use of P6 and with experience working on large construction projects to work in support of EDF’s Hinkley ‘C’ nuclear power station construction project.

The client is looking for Planning Engineers with various levels of experience, from those looking to take the next step in their career up to Senior Planning Engineer level, to more experienced planners looking for an exciting challenge offering excellent long term career possibilities.
