Beschreibung der Tätigkeit

Lead the Delivery of Major Infrastructure on one of the UK’s Largest Projects.

 

At Vulcain Engineering UK, we are proud to be at the forefront of major energy infrastructure, supporting the UK’s journey to Net Zero through the development of Sizewell C (SZC), one of the most ambitious low-carbon projects in Europe. Building on our extensive experience at Hinkley Point C, our teams are helping deliver the next generation of nuclear power.

 

We’re now looking for a senior leader to take ownership of a major civil works package on site. As Programme Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in the successful execution of complex, high-value infrastructure - overseeing a wide scope of enabling works, major civils, networks, and buildings on the Main Development Site.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of something transformational - driving forward a nationally significant project, while contributing to the UK’s energy security and climate change goals.

  • Provide strategic and operational leadership for the delivery of a major civil works area on the Sizewell C Main Development Site, ensuring alignment with the overall project execution strategy.
  • Lead and mentor a team of Senior Managers, with overall accountability for the safe and effective delivery of enabling works, major civils, networks, and buildings.
  • Act as a key member of the Site Delivery Leadership Team, setting direction, managing performance, and contributing to project-wide decision making and governance.
  • Oversee multidisciplinary teams across safety, quality, engineering, and commercial functions – ensuring roles are appropriately resourced and SQEP-compliant.
  • Own interface management across SZC delivery programmes (Civil Works, Nuclear Island, Conventional Island), resolving complex cross-cutting issues and maintaining programme alignment.
  • Take full responsibility for delivery performance within your area – managing risk, cost, change control, and reporting into senior governance structures.
  • Fulfil delegated Principal Contractor responsibilities in line with CDM regulations and SZC’s project-wide strategy.
  • Champion nuclear safety, continuous improvement, and a culture of learning across all delivery activities.
  • Act as a senior representative for Vulcain with client stakeholders, delivery partners, contractors, and regulatory bodies
