What you’ll be doing
You’ll support the Lead Project Manager in planning and delivering project activities, making sure everything aligns with the overall programme goals. This includes helping to create clear strategies, keeping schedules on track, and ensuring that work is delivered safely, on time, and within budget.
You’ll work closely with other teams to share knowledge, learn from experience, and apply best practices. Strong communication with stakeholders is key, as well as making sure all contract requirements are met and lessons learned are built into future work.
Who you are
You’ll have strong leadership and decision-making skills, especially in complex and regulated project environments. You’ll bring hands-on experience in managing engineering design, construction activities, and procurement strategies across multi-discipline EPCM projects. Familiarity with NEC and FIDIC contracts, and the ability to handle commercial claims and negotiations are key.
You’ll have excellent analytical, numerical, and reasoning skills, with a solid understanding of cost control, scheduling and risk management. You’ll be confident using project planning software and able to estimate, plan, and track progress effectively. Strong presentation and influencing skills are essential, along with a good grasp of nuclear quality standards and how they’re applied and maintained.

A degree in engineering, construction, or a related field, along with a project management qualification such as APM, PMQ is desirable.
