We will value the difference you bring and give you opportunities to thrive and succeed.

What you will be doing...

In collaboration with the Senior Project Manager, you'll play a key role in securing necessary resources, maintaining SQEP standards, and promptly addressing any personnel shortfalls within your project team. You'll also assist in developing and implementing strategies aligned with the overall programme execution plan (PEP), ensuring effective management, organisation, and execution of the program.

Your responsibilities extend to maintaining open communication with stakeholders and executing project strategies within your designated contract or work package. Along with this, your responsibilities also include:
• Proactively anticipate, manage, and resolve issues within your contract or package, identifying risks, facilitating resolutions, and contributing to the development and update of the program budget. Escalate any issues to the Senior Project Manager when necessary.
• Work alongside the Senior Project Manager to develop and maintain schedules for the contract or work package, ensuring alignment with overall Project schedules. Promptly escalate any discrepancies.

Who you are...

In this role, we're looking for you to have an understanding of the specific needs of nuclear quality together with:
• Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of leadership principles in complex projects.
• A commitment to excellence in everything you do
• Successful experience in engaging multi-level stakeholders in a regulated environment.
• Experience operating within NEC and FIDIC commercial arrangements.

While a degree in engineering, construction, or a related field is desirable, your demonstrated project management experience in engineering design, contract and field execution strategies, multi-discipline EPCM projects, construction activities, procurement, and management of complex contracts will be paramount in this role.
