Lead Major Mechanical Construction Delivery at Hinkley Point C
We are recruiting for an experienced Mechanical Construction Project Manager to take a leading role in the delivery of major mechanical installation works within the Turbine Hall scope for Units 1 & 2 at Hinkley Point C.
This is a senior, site-focused construction role with responsibility for a significant mechanical package incorporating major equipment, installation activities, subcontractor performance, interfaces, quality, safety, programme and commercial delivery.
You will work closely with Construction, Engineering, Procurement, Quality, and Contract Management teams to ensure mechanical works are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the required technical and quality standards.
We are particularly interested in speaking with candidates from:
- Nuclear
- Power Generation
- Oil & Gas
- Petrochemical
- Chemical
- Pharmaceutical
- Automotive Manufacturing
- Water
- Heavy Industrial
- Major Infrastructure
- EPC
Previous nuclear experience would be advantageous but is not essential where you can demonstrate strong mechanical construction experience within a large-scale, technically complex, or highly regulated industrial environment.
The Role
As Mechanical Construction Project Manager, you will take ownership of the planning, coordination, and execution of mechanical erection activities within the Turbine Hall.
The mechanical scope includes major equipment such as:
- Condensers
- Static mechanical equipment
- Main and auxiliary pumps
- Air compressors
- Rotating equipment
- Associated balance-of-plant systems
You will act as a key technical, organisational, and contractual focal point for the mechanical package, working closely with site teams and contractors to maintain construction momentum and resolve issues before they impact programme delivery.
