The Opportunity

As a Project Manager for Hinkley Point ‘C’ (HPC), you’ll provide leadership to ensure the effective delivery of the Civils Programme, while managing its broader impact on the overall project.

Alongside a starting salary of £60,000 to £70,000 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.

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 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

You’ll be responsible for defining the work scope of the assigned contract or package, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with other programme elements. You will collaborate with the project team to secure necessary resources, monitor personnel needs, and ensure resources maintain the required skills and qualifications. Additionally, you’ll develop and implement strategies and plans in alignment with the Programme Execution Plan (PEP), ensuring the project is effectively organised, managed, and delivered.

You’ll oversee the delivery of contract activities, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, within budget, and meet business and technical requirements. By monitoring progress against milestones and budgets, you will keep stakeholders informed and address any discrepancies. You will also proactively manage risks, resolve issues, and update the programme budget as needed, escalating critical matters to the Senior Project Manager where necessary.

Your role will include maintaining accurate Level 3 schedules, reviewing contractor schedules, and ensuring all deliverables are met according to the contract. You will apply Earned Value Management (EVM) and Continuous Improvement principles while fostering knowledge-sharing and best practices across the project. Additionally, you’ll work to ensure all contractual requirements are fulfilled and maintain effective working relationships with project team members and stakeholders.

Who you are

As a Project Manager at Hinkley Point ‘C’, you bring a strong foundation in project management, with a deep understanding of EPR design and its application in complex projects. You have demonstrated leadership in managing large-scale engineering initiatives and multi-discipline EPCM projects, while applying your knowledge of CDM regulations and nuclear quality standards. Your ability to use tools like estimating, scheduling, risk management, and Earned Value Management ensures successful project delivery.

You possess excellent analytical, and critical reasoning skills, paired with effective presentation, influencing, and facilitation abilities. You should hold a degree and chartered status in construction, engineering, or a related discipline. Experience working within regulated environments, like the nuclear sector, and knowledge of commercial arrangements such as NEC and FIDIC enhance your ability to manage complex contracts, costs, and risks efficiently.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of engaging multi-level stakeholders, managing commercial claims, and leading projects from concept to handover. You will have experience in construction activities, procurement, and negotiation. Your ability to ensure safety, security, and environmental responsibility in technically dynamic environments is key to your success.

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