Join us as a Senior Project Manager, as we continue to lead the rebirth of Nuclear in the UK.


The Opportunity

At Hinkley Point C (HPC), we are constructing two new nuclear reactors, marking the first of a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. Once operational, these reactors will provide low-carbon electricity to power around six million homes.

As the Senior Project Manager, you’ll report directly to a Delivery Manager and manage the contracts for the design, manufacturing, and supply of equipment for the HPC Project in 3 main areas: Valves, Pumps and Static Equipment.

HPC is both of high profile and high complexity. Its delivery will be reliant not only on innovative engineering and construction but also on the strongest of leadership qualities. As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll ensure its delivery meets safety, quality, time, and cost objectives.

That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.


What you’ll be doing

In your role, you’ll be leading the delivery of a contract or work package, coordinating closely with other programme elements. This includes making sure your team has the necessary resources and addressing any personnel issues as they arise.

You’ll create and execute strategies in line with the Programme Execution Plan (PEP), covering all aspects of delivery, from the "why" and "what" to the "how" and "who." Communication with stakeholders will be key as you drive safe, on-time, and on-budget delivery, while also monitoring progress and reporting on key milestones, deadlines, and budgets.

You'll be responsible for identifying risks, resolving issues, and escalating concerns when necessary. Additionally, you’ll capture lessons learned, share knowledge with the team, and collaborate with other programmes to adopt best practices and ensure contractual requirements are met.

Fostering strong relationships within your team will be essential, as you'll lead three Lead Project Managers and their teams (whole team size is roughly 15).


Who you are

You have a proven track record of delivering projects in complex, regulated environments, ideally within Nuclear Energy, while ensuring safety, security, and environmental responsibility. You’re skilled at managing engineering design, contract strategies, multi-discipline projects, procurement, and complex contracts.

Your leadership stands out in engaging and influencing stakeholders, with strong management skills across project, financial, and change management. You’re experienced in using scheduling, programming, and risk tools, and have managed contractors and consultants on large construction projects.

With excellent communication, presentation, and organisational abilities, you’re adept at building relationships and maintaining networks. A degree in engineering, manufacturing, construction, or a related field, and a Project Management qualification are desirable but not essential.
