Morson Talent
Project Manager (Civils)
Job Location
Suffolk, United Kingdom
Job Description
Morson Talent are currently looking for a Project Manager to join a nuclear new build project in East Anglia.
This role is a contract role until December 2025 but likely to be extended due to the length and size of the project. This will be 2 days a week on site (Suffolk) with occasional attendance at the London office, with hybrid working arrangements
You will be part of the Civil Works Programme which comprises a series of projects that will be delivered over a 10-year period. Each element of the scope has been assigned to a combination of participants that will be responsible and accountable for the delivery.
The Civils Programme will deliver the Sizewell C Civil Engineering scope to support the MEH erection in the Nuclear, Conventional and Heat Sink islands.
The Civil Works Programme is responsible for delivering:
• Enabling and Earthworks: sea defences, access facilities, civil engineering work to support site establishment, diaphragm walling around the nuclear plant footprint, dewatering, excavation and earthworks.
• Tunnelling and Marine: beach landing facility, jetty, shafts and intake and outfall tunnels for the nuclear plant cooling systems.
• Main civil engineering: technical galleries, cooling system pipework, foundation base slab and over 70 large buildings for the nuclear plant.
To successfully deliver the Programme requires excellent coordination and integration with the Site Establishment, Site Operations, and Mechanical / Electrical / Heating (MEH) Alliance.
The execution strategy involves:
• Maximising replication of HPC design to limit the extent of First of a Kind design to site-specific elements.
• Introduction and establishment of a programme management structure.
• Using learning from the HPC project to optimise and simplify working practices and processes to maximise site productivity.
• Intelligent replication of the HPC supply chain.
• Joint commitment to truly collaborative working, and an Alliance delivery and commercial model that enables this.
Principal Accountabilities, Activities and Decisions
The role holder will:
• Take a global overview of the nuclear power plant Systems, Structures and Components (SSCs) within their programme, with a view to maximise replication from HPC and prepare for key contracts to be awarded
• Be responsible for the timely delivery of engineering studies by the RD or by key contractors and for ensuring they meet the needs of the SZC project
• Prepare with the multidisciplinary team specific post-FID contracts (terms & conditions, contractual appendices and technical specification)
• Drive the implementation of SZC site-specific design changes into the design deliverables in their programme, including contract specifications to enable robust pricing
• Manage internal interfaces (between contracts and systems) and external interfaces (between programme scopes) to ensure a coordinated approach to design and delivery
• Manage early engagement with stakeholders (including equipment suppliers) to identify obsolescence issues and other risks to replication
• Manage the technical elements of the procurement process for specific contracts
• Ensure that lessons-learnt and knowledge-capture are practiced as business as usual
• Develop and implement strategies and plans in line with the overall programme execution plan (PEP)
• Define the work scope to be delivered within the contract or package of work and the interfaces to the other elements of the programme
• Drive the delivery of the contract or package activities to ensure they are delivered safely, on time, to budget, meeting business & technical requirements
• Ensure that contract or package contractual requirements are fulfilled
• Working with multidisciplinary teams to prepare manufacturing and construction contracts
• Driving the implementation of SZC site-specific design changes
Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience
Essential:
• Demonstrate success coordinating multi-disciplinary design/procurement work and driving design/procurement teams to deliver on time
• Project management or project engineering experience, from concept to handover
• Background in mechanical, electrical, process, systems or civil engineering for large industrial plants
• Good understanding of the complexity of major projects, including interface management between scope areas
• Experience of the pre-tender and tender stages of procuring contracts for the design, manufacturing and/or installation of industrial equipment
• Excellent communication skills in client-facing and contractor-facing situations
• Manage engineers, consultants and other advisors throughout large and complex projects
• Demonstrate specific success in managing / developing:
• Engineering design, contract and field execution strategies for project delivery,
• Multi-discipline EPCM projects,
• Procurement and management of complex contracts,
• Control of costs risk schedule and change and proficient in the use of Earned Value tools,
• Close out of commercial claims and the associated negotiations.
Desirable:
• Previous engineering or project management experience in the nuclear industry.
• Chartered Engineer qualification.
• Formal project management qualification.
• Direct experience of procuring equipment or installation contracts for nuclear power stations
