• Your Impact

As Project Manager you will drive the delivery of engineering work by the Responsible Designer (RD) and the engineering, procurement and manufacturing of key contracts.

Your first objective is to sufficiently advance the engineering and secure the supply chain through the maximum possible replication of the HPC detailed design.

You will work closely with the SZC supply chain team, Responsible Designer (RD), the SZC quality team and suppliers to prepare for and execute the delivery phase of the project.

• Project Areas
• MEH: primarily the development and setup of the MEH delivery model and alliance for SZC, with a joint team established to continue development and derive lessons from the HPC programme.
• Nuclear Island (NI): each project manager will be dedicated to one or more contracts, systems and buildings within the NI programme, with a value of up to £100m.
• Civil

Works: the role supports the strategy for delivering scope up to £50m, ensuring delivery of engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction and commissioning activities in line with the overall programme schedule.

• CI/BOP: oversees all activities associated with engineering contracts up to £100m and secures resources that meet business and technical requirements, delivering safely, on time and within budget.
• Principal Accountabilities, Activities and Decisions
• Drive the delivery of contract or package activities to ensure they are delivered safely, on time, to budget, meeting business & technical requirements.
• Ensure that contract or package contractual requirements are fulfilled.
• Take a global overview of the nuclear power plant Systems, Structures and Components (SSCs) within the programme, maximizing replication from HPC and preparing for key contracts to be awarded.
• Be responsible for the timely delivery of engineering studies by the RD or key contractors, ensuring they meet the needs of the SZC project.
• Prepare, with the multidisciplinary team, specific post-FID contracts (terms & conditions, contractual appendices and technical specification).
• Drive the implementation of SZC site‑specific design changes into the design deliverables in the programme, including contract specifications to enable robust pricing.
• Manage internal interfaces (between contracts and systems) and external interfaces (between programme scopes) to ensure a coordinated approach to design and delivery.
• Manage early engagement with stakeholders (including equipment suppliers) to identify obsolescence issues and other risks to replication.
• Manage the technical elements of the procurement process for specific contracts.
• Ensure that lessons‑learnt and knowledge‑capture are practiced as business as usual.
• Develop and implement strategies and plans in line with the overall programme execution plan (PEP).
• Define the work scope to be delivered within the contract or package of work and the interfaces to the other elements of the programme.
• Oversee the nuclear power plant systems, structures and components in the Conventional Island and Balance of Plant programme.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to prepare manufacturing and construction contracts.
• Drive the implementation of SZC site‑specific design changes.
• Dimensions

Depending on the area of work

• Up to 3 direct reports – plus a matrix team of other disciplines forming the project delivery team.
• Interaction with EDF in France and/or with SZC Site Construction Team. Matrix organisation principles still apply.
• Deliver contracts with a value of up to £50m or up to £100m, depending on programme (CW & ME versus NI & CI‑BOP).
• Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience
• Demonstrate success coordinating multi‑disciplinary design/procurement work and driving design/procurement teams to deliver on time.
• Project management or project engineering experience from concept to handover.
• Background in I&C, mechanical, electrical, process, systems or civil engineering for large industrial plants.
• Good understanding of the complexity of major projects, including interface management between scope areas.
• Experience of the pre‑tender and tender stages of procuring contracts for design, manufacturing and/or installation of industrial equipment.
• Excellent communication skills in client‑facing and contractor‑facing situations.
• Manage engineers, consultants and other advisors throughout large and complex projects.

• Demonstrate specific success in managing / developing

• Engineering design, contract and field execution strategies for project delivery.
• Multi‑discipline EPCM projects.
• Procurement and management of complex contracts.
• Control of costs, risk, schedule and change, and proficiency in Earned Value tools.
• Close out of commercial claims and associated negotiations.
• Previous engineering or project management experience in the nuclear industry.
• Familiarity with I&C component procurement would be of particular benefit to this role.
• Chartered Engineer qualification.
• Formal project management qualification.
• Direct experience of procuring equipment or installation contracts for nuclear power stations.
