Project Manager (Civil Engineering or Geotechnical background)

Sizewell C, Suffolk | Up to £60,000 | Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm | Permanent

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to join a growing team working on the Sizewell C nuclear new-build project in Suffolk.

This is a long-term opportunity, with the project currently expected to run for 6-7 years, with the potential to continue beyond this.

We're particularly interested in people from a Civil Engineering or Geotechnical background who have solid Project Management experience and are keen to learn, develop and build their knowledge within a specialist environment.

If you have the right project management and technical background, you'll have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of the sector.

As Project Manager, you'll take responsibility for the safe and successful delivery of work packages across the Sizewell C project.

Your role will include:

• Managing projects and work packages from planning through to completion.
• Leading site teams, engineers and subcontractors.
• Managing programmes, resources, costs and deadlines.
• Working closely with clients, contractors and project stakeholders.
• Monitoring progress and providing regular reports.
• Identifying risks and resolving issues.
• Ensuring projects are delivered safely and to the required quality standards.
• Supporting commercial activities, variations and change control.
• Working with technical and design teams on project delivery.
• Ensuring all work meets the required health, safety and environmental standards.

The projects cover areas including dewatering, water treatment, pumping systems, geotechnical works, water abstraction, instrumentation and monitoring and temporary works.

You won't be expected to know everything from day one - we're looking for someone with a strong technical foundation who is willing to learn and develop.

We're looking for someone with:

• At least 5 years' Project Management or Site Management experience.
• A Civil Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering background - essential.
• Experience managing site teams, subcontractors and suppliers.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• Experience working on construction, infrastructure or engineering projects.
• A proactive approach and the ability to solve problems.
• A genuine interest in learning and developing within the nuclear/energy sector.

Previous experience on major infrastructure, nuclear or energy projects would be advantage but isn't essential.

• Relevant engineering qualification or equivalent experience.
• Valid CSCS card.
• SMSTS.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
• Permanent right to work in the UK without the need for sponsorship.
• Ability to obtain the required security clearance for the Sizewell C site.

• Up to £60,000 salary
• Company vehicle with personal use (monthly rental value of £600) OR £6,300 annual cash allowance (£525 per month) to source your own WJ-approved vehicle for business use
• Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm
• 6-7 year major project, with potential to continue beyond this
• Opportunity to work on a major new nuclear power station
• Excellent opportunity to develop your experience within the nuclear and energy sector
