Our client, Sizewell C, is looking for a Senior Project Management professional with a strong technical background and a track record of delivering high-value parts of major / mega regulated industry (ideally nuclear) projects to take on the key leadership role of Senior Project Manager - Balance of Plant (BoP) supporting their new nuclear power station construction project.
Prior nuclear industry experience would be preferred, whilst previous experience supporting the BoP scope of nuclear industry projects would be advantageous. Candidates with prior EPR project experience would be of particular interest to the client.
The Senior Project Manager will be responsible for leading the end-to-end EPCC delivery of a selection (circa 3 buildings) of the buildings in the BOP sub-programme (total value up to £500m) including any contracts within those buildings (nodes) with line responsibility of 2 or 3 project managers. In addition to the Project Managers who will directly report to them, the Senior Project Manager will have to manage a matrix team of other disciplines forming the project delivery team (eg: the SZC supply chain team, the Responsible Designer (RD), the SZC quality team and suppliers).
Whilst a proven background in Project Management is preferred, candidates from a non-PM background (e.g. Sr Engineering Manager) would be happily considered if they possess a strong EPR project background.
This will be a hybrid role (3-4 days/week in the office) based mainly out of the client's north-west Bristol office located close to the M4/M5 motorway junction. Some additional travel will also be required as part of the role.
This positition offers outstanding long-term future career development and advancement opportunities as the SZC project grows and develops.
