Within our business we harness our unique combination of leading-edge practical expertise and project delivery to unlock the potential in every project.

The project requires project managers to drive the delivery of engineering work. The first objective of the role is to sufficiently advance the engineering and secure the supply chain to de-risk the final investment decision (FID), through the maximum possible replication of the detailed design.

Each project manager will work closely with especially the supply chain team, the responsible designer (RD), the quality team and the suppliers to prepare for and execute the delivery phase of the project. Our project managers will focus on one of the following areas:

Civil works: the Project Manager role will support the development of the strategy for delivering scope up to the value of £50m to cost, schedule and quality. This post also has the responsibility to ensure delivery of all (or part of) the engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction and commissioning activities in accordance with the overall project schedule

The civils programme will deliver the civil engineering scope to support the MEH erection in the nuclear, conventional and heat sink islands.

The civil works programme is responsible for delivering:

Enabling and earthworks: sea defences, access facilities, civil engineering work to support site establishment, diaphragm walling around the nuclear plant footprint, dewatering, excavation and earthworks.

Tunnelling and marine: beach landing facility, jetty, shafts and intake and outfall tunnels for the nuclear plant cooling systems.

Main civil engineering: technical galleries, cooling system pipework, foundation base slab and over 70 large buildings for the nuclear plant.

To successfully deliver the programme requires excellent coordination and integration with the site establishment, site operations, and mechanical/electrical/heating (meh) alliance.

Our values shape the way we consult, and define the people we want to join us on our journey, they are:

• Safety first - Going home safe and well
• Client focus - Deliver on our promise
• Integrity - Always do the right thing
• Create opportunity - For our people to excel
