The Position: MEH Project Engineer

As a MEH Project Engineer you’ll bring your technical and operational expertise to support the JDO (Joint Design Office) focussed on the Mechanical, Electrical & HVAC (MEH) branch of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project. You’ll work collaboratively across both SZC and HPC, identifying and implementing practical solutions that capture valuable lessons learned from HPC and feed them back into SZC’s design and delivery.

You’ll play a key role in supporting the SZC MEH branch by ensuring the initial reference configuration meets the highest quality standards. You’ll validate and refine input data from HPC to make sure it aligns with SZC’s requirements, while also helping to identify and resolve issues within the MEH scope as equipment moves from manufacture or fabrication to installation on site.

Some of the main responsibilities of the MEH Project Engineer will include:

·      Coordinate Joint Design Office (JDO) involvement in continuous improvement initiatives within both the JDO and the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project, sharing learnings with Sizewell C (SZC) and proposing practical solutions (e.g., development of the Standards Field Solutions concept).

·      Maintain site configuration across key project phases

·      Support the SZC JDO MEH branch by ensuring the initial reference configuration - based on the latest and most relevant HPC deliverables—meets the highest quality standards.

·      Manage JDO engagement with IT systems and tools, ensuring alignment with process and data management requirements.

·      Address and resolve issues within the MEH scope, following the delivery of manufactured or fabricated equipment to site, managing associated risks and volumes effectively.

·      Resolve mechanical–civil interface challenges on site, with a particular focus on tolerance issues arising from pre-cast components.

·      Lead the definition and implementation of Standard Field Solutions for the MEH scope, ensuring alignment with established approaches used in the Civil discipline.

·      Deliver replication activities within the JDO’s scope, with a focus on replication planning and implementation for Sizewell C Units 3 and 4 (U3 & U4).

·      Build and maintain strong relationships with project managers, engineering teams, and other key stakeholders across the delivery programmes and the Technical Directorate to ensure effective coordination and knowledge sharing.

Preferred Profile:

Alongside a commitment to our values of Care & Compassion, Performance, Team Spirit, and Inclusiveness, we are looking for individuals who can bring the following:

·      Proven experience in coordinating multi-disciplinary design and procurement activities, driving teams to deliver outcomes on schedule.

·      Strong project management, project engineering, and technical coordination capabilities.

·      Background in mechanical, electrical, process, systems, or civil engineering for large-scale industrial plants.

·      Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering or a related discipline

·      Previous experience working on Hinkley Point C (HPC) or other EPR projects.

·      Knowledge of engineering principles specific to EPR projects, including a detailed understanding of EPR design.

·      Experience in pre-tender and tender processes for procuring design, manufacturing, or installation contracts for industrial equipment.

·      Awareness of commercial considerations in the delivery of major projects.

·      Proven ability to manage internal and external stakeholder relationships effectively

·      Reside locally to Bridgwater or be prepared to relocate, as this permanent role does not include travel expense coverage.
