Project Manager

Satellite Delivery Centre, Bridgwater. 2/3 days per week in the office with regular travel to HPC site required.

Do you have previous experience working on large, complex projects in highly regulated industries? Can you work with diverse teams and influence key stakeholders? Ready to make an impact on one of the biggest projects in Europe?

Join us as a 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 Project Manager, you’ll report directly to a Senior Project Manager and be part of the WIC (Wrapping, Insulation, and Caulking) Area within the MEH (Mechanical, Electrical & HVAC) Programme.

You’ll lead the full life cycle delivery of work packages, from concept through to installation, with package values of around £100 million. This includes overseeing engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and construction activities, all aligned with the Integrated Project schedule.

WIC is a highly ambitious and technically challenging scope and is essential to HPC operation. You’ll ensure delivery meets safety, quality, time, and cost objectives for this iconic project.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary circa £65,000 (negotiable depending on experience), and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.  

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. 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 support the Senior Project Manager in developing strategies that align with the programme execution plan (PEP) for managing work. You'll maintain clear communication with stakeholders and assist in delivering contract activities safely and on time, ensuring they meet budget and technical requirements while tracking progress and providing regular updates.

You’ll identify and resolve issues, manage risks, and escalate significant concerns to the Senior Project Manager. Collaboratively, you'll develop and maintain schedules that align with project timelines and promote lessons learned and knowledge sharing.

You’ll ensure all contractual requirements are met and you’ll help secure the resources needed for your project, ensuring qualified personnel are in place and promptly addressing any shortfalls.

Who you are

You are a knowledgeable project professional with a strong understanding of leadership and its application in complex projects. You possess numeracy, analytical, and critical reasoning skills, complemented by excellent presentation and influencing skills.

Ideally you should be educated to degree level (or equivalent experience) in a relevant engineering, construction, or related technical subject, and holding a professional qualification in Project Management, such as APM PPQ, is a plus.

Your background includes procurement and management of complex contracts, as well as effective control of costs, risks, schedules, and changes.

Additionally, you have successfully engaged multi-level stakeholders, ensuring effective communication and collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.

Closing date for applications: 27th October 2024
