Lead Piping delivery manager

About the role

Own your career, and you can build something to be proud of at Balfour Beatty. By joining our Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick team as a Lead Piping delivery manager on the Sizewell C Project. You’ll work with true experts who’ll share their knowledge and provide support, encouragement and invaluable feedback so you never stop learning. Bring us your capability, and we’ll help you take it much, much further.

Sizewell C will create a 3.2 gigawatt power station generating low-carbon electricity for at least 60 years. It will be built next to Sizewell B which began operating in 1995 and has so far avoided more than 76 million tonnes of carbon emissions. Our proposal is to build a new nuclear power station on the East Suffolk coast which will supply 6 million homes with low-carbon electricity.

This role will be hybrid with a minimum of 1-2 days at the Aztec West offices in Bristol.
