Area Engineering Manager

Amentum is the Design and Engineering partner for Sellafield under the PPP (Programme and Project Partners). This is a 20-year arrangement to deliver ~£7bn of major projects. We are looking to recruit high value expertise from across regulated and comparable sectors to work in a collaborative environment. PPP is delivering major projects, site wide improvements and provision of supporting services.

The Project

The SNM Analytical Project is progressing into a critical phase of delivery, and we are looking for a proactive and collaborative Area Engineering Manager to support the safe and efficient transition of design into construction delivery.

The Role

Based at our offices in Cumbria, as an Area Engineering Manager (AEM) you will act as the key engineering interface to the onsite construction team, ensuring engineering outputs are aligned, coordinated, and ready to build.

As a AEM some of your responsibilities could include:

• Leading engineering delivery for a defined SNM Analytical Project area, ensuring outputs are fully aligned with construction needs.
• Act as the day to day engineering interface for onsite construction teams, supporting issue resolution and enabling safe construction progress.
• Drive timely close out of technical queries, design changes, and construction clarifications.
• Support constructability reviews, build sequencing, and readiness assessments in line with PPP delivery practices.
• Maintain strong relationships across engineering, construction, safety, planning, and assurance teams.

As an AEM you will already have:

• Experience in engineering management on major infrastructure or highly regulated projects.
• Strong understanding of multi disciplinary engineering and its interface with construction.
• Confident communicator who builds positive, collaborative relationships.
• Delivery focused mindset with the ability to manage emerging issues at pace.
• Chartership desirable, but not essential.
