The role

In this role, you lead the definition and delivery of work scopes within assigned contracts or work packages, ensuring alignment with the wider programme. You're responsible for securing the right resources, maintaining a qualified and capable team, and addressing any gaps as they arise. You’ll also develop and implement strategies based on the Programme Execution Plan, clearly outlining what needs to be done.

Your focus is on delivering outcomes safely, on time, and within budget. You monitor progress against key milestones and financial targets, keeping stakeholders informed and engaged. You’re expected to manage risks proactively, resolve issues efficiently, and escalate concerns when necessary. Meeting contractual requirements, delivering against set objectives, and applying earned value and continuous improvement principles are key parts of your day-to-day work.

You’ll collaborate across teams and programmes to stay aligned, share insights, and apply best practices. Building strong relationships and maintaining clear communication with stakeholders will be crucial to your success. You’re also responsible for capturing lessons learned and promoting a culture of continuous improvement across the project environment.

Requirements of the role

Being a Senior Project Manager in a regulated and technically complex environment means delivering projects safely, on time, and within budget, while maintaining high standards in safety, security, and environmental responsibility. Experience in the nuclear sector or a similar regulated industry is ideal. You should have a solid background in engineering design, project execution, procurement, and managing complex contracts, with confidence in using earned value and risk management tools.

You’ll bring strong leadership and project management skills, with experience managing large, multi-discipline teams and working through the full project lifecycle—from concept to handover. The role involves working closely with contractors, consultants, and stakeholders, often under NEC or FIDIC contracts. Strong communication, planning, and problem-solving abilities are key, along with knowledge of CDM regulations and quality standards, especially in a nuclear context.

We’re looking for someone who can build trusted relationships, lead effectively, and drive delivery. Understanding EPR design, nuclear quality assurance, and how to apply a graded approach to quality is a plus. Previous experience in Mechanical, Electrical & HVAC activities, within Construction or an equivalent. A degree or project management qualification is helpful but not essential - what matters most is your experience, capability, and approach.

If you’re passionate about your field and eager to make a difference, we want to hear from you!
