About the Role
Location: Site- based at Hinkley Point C (minimum 3 days per week on site)

Across planning, strategy, stakeholder engagement, and risk management, you’ll be empowered to deepen your expertise in large-scale project delivery while shaping the direction of a nationally significant programme. From compliance and nuclear‑quality assurance to earned value management and leadership development, this role offers unrivalled learning as you support the journey towards An Electric Britain.

- Applying project controls, including cost, schedule, risk, change control, and Earned Value Management
