Non-Working Supervisor (Black Hat) – Plant Operatives DalkiaHinkley Point C
Hinkley Point C is the UK’s first new build nuclear power station in a generation that is critical to the UK NetZero targets.
All roles on the project require key behaviours which support the Zero Harm objective, a questioning attitude, and drive to uphold the standards of safety and quality required by this prestigious project. A committed strong work ethic is essential at all levels.
All candidates are expected to demonstrate their knowledge and experience where possible directly related to the criteria required for the role. It is acknowledged that previous Nuclear based experience will not always be possible, as such supporting with project research and how individual skills may be transferable will be important.
There are opportunities to put together strategic people plans within the nuclear sector, work on wider company people projects, deliver an excellent first-class service to employees and ensure the administration and processes that engulf working life are implemented effectively and fairly.
Summary of Role
The Non-Working Supervisor is responsible for the effective day-to-day supervision of plant operatives, with a focus on coordinating all activities to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient operations. This supervisory role does not involve hands-on operational tasks, but instead focuses on leading the team, managing performance, and ensuring operational targets are met.
The Supervisor holds responsibility for supporting logistics throughput as defined by the construction schedule. This includes managing a team that oversees the movement and handling of materials within the compound and ensuring the safe and efficient processing of vehicles through the designated area. The role requires close monitoring of activities against agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), with regular reporting on team and process performance.
