Project Manager - Dungeness

We are recruiting for a Project Manager to join the team at Dungeness B power station on a permanent basis. The Generation Services business team supports our key client EDF Energy Nuclear Generation regarding 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 part of a large client lead team at EDF's Dungeness Power Station location, and this role will support multiple projects within their UK-wide project portfolio which may include existing generation, nuclear defueling, nuclear new build, and/or nuclear decommissioning.

Project Managers are accountable to the client PPM for successful delivery of all aspects of their assigned projects. The Project Manager sets the project execution strategy in agreement with the client PPM and uses a cross-functional project team to deliver the project safely in line with company policies and procedures, achieving established goals and objectives within the agreed baseline.

The role will be based at the EDF Dungeness Power Station and will require occasional business travel to other UK sites/stations. Flexible working arrangements between office and home may be possible; however, the role will predominantly be based at the Power Station. 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 and be results-focused tempered with a team-centred approach. Everyone working in our team will need the ability to obtain CTC or SC level UK security clearance.
