NG Bailey are proud to be involved in the Hinkley Point C project based in Bridgwater, Somerset.

NG Bailey, the UK’s leading independent engineering and services business, are part of the MEH Alliance, a joint venture to deliver the mechanical, electrical and HVAC installation for the project.

As part of recent growth on this project, we are looking for additional Quality Managers to join us and support delivery in ensuring that all aspects of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are implemented effectively throughout the lifecycle of the project.
