Are you an experienced Project Manager ready for the next step in your career?

Are you good at working with cross-functional teams to ensure project success? If you're passionate about improving efficiency and delivering great results, we have an exciting opportunity for you at Hinkley Point C as a Project Manager!


The Opportunity

As our Project Manager, you will play a key role in securing industry support to ensure the continuous, smooth operation of Hinkley Point C (HPC). You will oversee service contracts ranging in value from a few million to tens of millions, with the total portfolio estimated at around £750 million. Reporting to the Commissioning & Pre-Operations Senior Project Manager within the PMO group, you’ll lead the delivery of over 100 Long-Term Service Agreements (LTSAs) and manage a growing project management team.

You will work closely with various departments including Commercial, Technical, Finance, and Legal to ensure the timely procurement and execution of contracts that enable the successful operation of HPC. Your role will involve effective coordination with stakeholders to ensure that all contractual and operational requirements are met, delivering on time and within budget.

In addition, you will manage the Commissioning Alliance, collaborating with the Capability Manager to meet both technical and strategic resourcing needs. This includes taking ownership of the overall LTSA budget, valued at approximately £200 million, to ensure efficient and cost-effective project execution.


Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a starting salary of £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.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

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 lead the procurement activities, ensuring contracts are delivered on time and meet quality standards. You will manage a team of procurement engineers, guiding them to define roles, identify key resources, and communicate responsibilities clearly. A key part of your role will be delivering the LTSA procurement schedule, ensuring contracts are in place for the required timelines and coordinating with technical teams to define contract scope.

You’ll also be responsible for driving LTSA procurement activities in alignment with licensing, safety, quality, time, and cost requirements, ensuring all technical and business needs are met. You will track and manage the procurement schedule, providing stakeholders with regular updates on progress against milestones, deadlines, and budgets. Additionally, you'll develop and maintain an LTSA procurement execution plan to effectively manage and organise the programme.

Your role will involve collaborating with other programmes to ensure LTSA procurement integrates smoothly with the wider schedule. You’ll also adopt best practices, work closely with Sizewell C teams to ensure value for money, and manage the Commissioning Alliance framework, including annual contract negotiations and resource planning.


Who you are

As our next Project Manager, you’ll bring significant experience in project management or procurement, with a strong focus on service contract procurement. While a degree in engineering or a related subject and being chartered is preferred, we’re more focused on your ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and tackle complex technical and commercial challenges. A solid understanding of Health & Safety legislation will also be essential for success in this role.

You’ll demonstrate a strong understanding of quality standards in a project environment and be familiar with Quality Assurance documentation. Your ability to manage complex technical, commercial, and legal negotiations with suppliers or contract bidders will be key, as well as your expertise in handling high-stakes negotiations and reaching workable outcomes.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of delivering projects within technically complex and dynamic environments, ideally within the Nuclear Energy sector or similar regulated industries. Strong leadership, presentation, and communication skills are a must, along with the ability to influence and build relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

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


Closing date for applications: 14th October 2024
