Commissioning Planning Engineer (IPC) | Hinkley Point C | Hybrid
Can be based in anywhere but you will need to commute to HPC 3 days a week.
Are you a Planning from an engineering background who wants to be the go-to person on one of the most complex and consequential engineering programmes in the world?
We're looking for a Commissioning Planning Engineer to join the Integrated Project Controls (IPC) function at Hinkley Point C — the UK's new nuclear power station and a £26bn landmark in British infrastructure.
This isn't a role where you'll pick up a programme mid-flow.

🎯 Your Mission
- Own and maintain the master IWS in Primavera P6, fully logic-linked and aligned to the Work Breakdown Structure
- Be the central point of contact for schedule performance — co-ordinating across Cost, Risk, Estimating, and Earned Value disciplines
- Drive the Trend & Change process, identifying risks and opportunities at project level
- Produce programme-level schedule reports and present performance insights to senior leadership
- Act as the intelligent centre of planning — the person teams turn to when they need clarity
✅ What We're Looking For
- Primavera P6 experience
- Worked in engineering or construction before would be ideal
- Nuclear experience is a bonus — the right major programme background will be considered
