Job Title: Interface Engineer
Pay: PAYE £448.27 or Umbrella £623.50
Location: London
Job ID: 2034
Job Purpose / Overview
Interface Management is recognised as a cornerstone of integration on major projects. The Interface Management Team (IMT) is responsible for managing the interfaces between the three main programmes (Civil Works - Nuclear Island - Conventional Island & Balance of Plant) in view of assuring the delivery of scope safely and to defined schedule, cost, and quality parameters.
Interface Management operates within the existing Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) structure and in line with the Area Management Terms of Reference (TOR). The programmes retain full accountability for the EPCC lifecycle within each programme, while the IMT retains the ability to consolidate programme-level interface information to gain insights and assurance for the benefit of the overall SZC Project.
Reporting to the Interface Oversight Project Manager, the Interface Engineer will coordinate and implement the interface management plan.
Principal Accountabilities
Reporting to the Interface Oversight Project Manager, the Interface Engineer has overall responsibility for implementing and maintaining the Interface Management Plan throughout the project life cycle by performing the following actions:
- Implementing project-specific Interface Management processes with key accountability for Interface Milestone Definition Documents (MDDs) and the Delivery Interface Register (DIR).
- Define, document, and manage interface requirements between different Programmes (i.e. Civils, Nuclear Island and Conventional Island) and other stakeholders.
- Progress monitoring related to Interface Management.
- Ensuring that the schedule requirements are maintained and identifying / initiating any change requests that may arise out of the Interface requirements.
- Ensuring that Interface issues are managed and closed.
- Be an integral link within the Interface Management Plan, monitoring and coordinating interfaces throughout, and supporting the SZC Programmes and SZC Project Management Office (PMO) to remain aligned.
- Produce and maintain appropriate, standardised documents and provide regular assurance reporting to the Programme management and other stakeholders (reflecting key issues, resolutions, and performance to enable them to effectively understand risks and impacts related to Interfaces on the project).
- Coordination within Risk Management Team for alignment on interface risks.
- Ensure a collaborative approach is maintained across teams.
- Facilitation for effective planning and efficient delivery of interface management, ensuring all issues are clearly understood by the owning teams and addressed, and appropriate interventions developed and implemented.
- Supporting the Delivery Project Managers (PMs) with interface agreements that deliver 'best for project' outcomes whilst ensuring that requirements are strictly adhered to within nuclear safety culture and regulatory frameworks.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
