Do you have experience managing large-scale civil engineering projects within a highly regulated environment (nuclear, energy, or similar)?
Can you demonstrate a strong understanding of nuclear safety culture and compliance with ONR or equivalent regulatory standards?
The Opportunity
Are you ready to play a pivotal role in one of the UK’s most complex and high-profile infrastructure projects? Our Tier 1 civil engineering client is delivering a £2.9 billion nuclear construction programme, supporting the safe decommissioning and future operations of a nationally significant site. This is a rare opportunity to join a world-class team working in a highly regulated environment, where your leadership will directly impact the success of a project that truly matters.
Your duties and responsibilities will be:
Lead and manage day-to-day construction activities on-site, ensuring delivery against programme, budget, and quality targets.
Embed nuclear safety culture and ensure compliance with client standards and ONR regulations.
Manage site teams and subcontractors, fostering collaboration and high performance.
Monitor progress, identify risks, and implement mitigation strategies.
Ensure all works meet specifications and nuclear quality documentation requirements.
Champion health, safety, and environmental compliance under CDM and nuclear site licence conditions.
Liaise with client representatives, regulators, and internal teams to resolve technical challenges.
Provide accurate progress reports and forecasts to senior management.
You will have the following qualifications & experience:
Degree or equivalent in Civil Engineering or Construction Management.
Proven experience delivering major infrastructure projects in regulated environments (nuclear preferred).
Strong knowledge of NEC contracts and UK nuclear safety regulations.
CSCS, SMSTS, and relevant nuclear safety training (e.g., Nuclear Safety Passport).
Ability to obtain and maintain appropriate security clearance.
It’s great if you also have the following:
Experience in reinforced concrete structures and heavy civil works.
Previous involvement in nuclear or high-hazard projects.
Familiarity with digital construction tools and BIM.
The setting for the role:
You will work on-site within a highly secure and regulated environment, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver one of the UK’s most significant nuclear infrastructure projects.
