What you’ll be doing

• You'll manage a team of 8-12 Layout Engineers, coordinating the production of deliverables and any required rework in line with the schedule, cost, and quality set by the Building Manager. This includes tracking delivery through the Scheduling Tool (Paladin) and delegating tasks based on team members' skills, capacity, and current workload to ensure efficient operation. You’ll also provide technical expertise to your team, ensuring the accuracy and quality of deliverables through proper review and approval processes.
• In this role, you'll ensure your team effectively applies relevant EPR-E Processes & Tools, such as UK-DC, IDT, NCR, and WeCAD, while collaborating with other discipline leads and external partners. This includes identifying and specifying requirements for the relevant scope, and interfacing with other groups (e.g., layout, civil, systems, hazards, and JDO) as necessary. You’ll also lead coordination with counterparts in the UK, France, and Germany, ensuring smooth communication and addressing any cross-team issues.
• Additionally, you'll escalate any resource conflicts to the Building Manager or Group Lead as needed and maintain strong ties with the Layout Discipline Lead. This will help support your team in terms of competency development, knowledge sharing, resourcing, and onboarding, ensuring the team stays aligned with best practices and tools.

Who you are

• You will have experience in the nuclear industry, ideally on projects like HPC or SZC, you'll bring a strong understanding of Layout competency. Your knowledge of engineering design sequences, interfaces, and general layout rules will allow you to effectively contribute to complex projects within this highly technical environment. Prior experience working with PDMS and/or E3D would be an advantage, as these are the tools used for our master 3D model.
• You’ll possess the ability to manage multiple interfaces and work efficiently to meet commitments and deadlines, demonstrating excellent time management and organisational skills. With strong communication and interpersonal abilities, you’ll effectively engage with stakeholders and maintain key relationships throughout the organisation.
• We're looking for someone who shows leadership and a proactive mindset. You’ll promote a questioning attitude and encourage continuous improvement within your team.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
