About the Opportunity

Jacobs are recruiting for a Project Engineer to join our Nuclear Power Engineering and Technical Services team supporting our key client EDF Energy Nuclear Generation with their nuclear fleet in the UK.

This is a key role within our Project Management Resource team which is spread across our UK network at all UK sites and stations. You will be supported and mentored by experienced project management professionals within Jacobs and given the training and opportunities you need to develop and expand your project management, business development and leadership skills with larger and more complex projects.

Since 1983 Hartlepool has generated over 258 TWh of zero carbon electricity which is enough to power every home in the Tees Valley for 204 years avoiding 90m tonnes of CO2 emissions, or like taking 43m cars off UK roads for a year.

You will be accountable to the client Project Manager, Programme Manager and/or Construction Manager. Flexible working arrangements between office and home may be possible; however, the role will predominantly be based at the Power Station.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the Project Managers and Construction Manager in managing allocated work from assignment to close out, covering all duties related to work delivery to ensure that the work is conducted in a safe, timely and effective manner.
• The role will be based at EDF Hartlepool and will require occasional business travel to UK sites/stations. In this role, you will report to the Jacobs Operations Manager but be accountable for project delivery directly to the client.
• Everyone working in our team will have a proven track record of working within highly regulated environments with high safety standards and culture.
• Strong communication and organisational skills are a must, with the ability to develop relationships and maintain effective networks while being results-focused with a team-centred approach.

Here's What You'll Need:

• Typically, you will be a Chartered Engineer or have an HND.
• A Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) qualification is required; candidates that hold the APMP formal project management qualification or equivalent and are versed in modern project management techniques are preferred.
• Experience of identifying, implementing, and complying with applicable safety, environmental and quality standards, company procedures and policies, and other relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.
• Ability to prepare and maintain engineering documentation including quality plans, along with the production of technical specifications and support the process of contractor selection and contract placement, followed by the technical review of contractor's documents and drawings.
• Manage technical queries in accordance with processes and procedures, including appraisals of project options, feasibility studies, site surveys and liaison with designers and station engineering staff.
