Nuclear
My client is looking for an experienced M&E Construction Manager with a strong electrical bias to support the delivery of major construction projects for a leading nuclear end client.
This is a Tier 1 contractor-side construction management role, requiring someone who combines strong site delivery experience with the technical capability to understand engineering information, challenge issues and support the resolution of design and construction queries.
The position is hands-on and delivery focused. It would suit an experienced construction manager who is comfortable operating between the site, design team, subcontractors, client and wider project team.
Key responsibilities
- Manage and coordinate M&E construction activities from planning and mobilisation through to completion
- Take responsibility for the safe, efficient and timely delivery of M&E works on site
- Manage and coordinate specialist subcontractors, ensuring works are delivered in accordance with programme, quality and technical requirements
- Work closely with the client, design teams and wider project team to manage interfaces and resolve construction issues
- Review drawings, specifications, technical submissions and other engineering information
- Support the preparation and resolution of TQs, RFIs and design queries, particularly across the electrical scope
- Provide practical technical input where design information requires clarification, development or amendment
- Monitor construction progress, quality, compliance and readiness of works
- Coordinate M&E activities with civil, structural, architectural and other project disciplines
- Contribute to construction planning, sequencing, programme development and short-term look-ahead planning
- Identify risks, constraints and potential delivery issues and ensure appropriate action is taken
- Maintain effective communication with the client, subcontractors and wider project stakeholders
