Junior Construction Delivery Manager

Role: Junior Construction Delivery Manager
Position: Contract
Location: Hinkley Point C, Somerset

Duration: 12 Months Rolling

Day Rate Up to a maximum of: £412 p/d PAYE + 36 days annual leave // £560 p/d Umbrella

This is your opportunity to be part of one of the most significant engineering and infrastructure projects in the UK. Hinkley Point C is the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations, designed to provide reliable, zero-carbon energy to millions of homes. With thousands of professionals working across multiple disciplines, HPC offers unparalleled career development, exposure to world-class engineering, and long-term progression in one of the most highly regulated and safety-focused sectors.

We are seeking ambitious Junior Construction Delivery Managers who are ready to take the next step in their career. If you have around five years of construction experience-particularly in regulated environments such as nuclear, pharmaceutical, petrochem, chemical, oil & gas, or large-scale civil engineering-this is a rare chance to develop into a specialist construction leader on a nationally critical project.

Job Opportunity

As a Construction Delivery Manager (CDM), you will support the oversight and coordination of a defined area within the Civils or Mechanical scope. Working closely with Senior CDMs, contractors, logistics teams, planning, health & safety, and quality functions, you'll ensure construction activities are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with strict regulatory and project requirements.

This role is ideal for someone who is:

• Ready to step up from Site Engineer, Section Engineer, Construction Supervisor, Works Coordinator, or similar
• Keen to transition into a more strategic, oversight-based role
• Motivated by large, complex infrastructure projects
• Looking to establish a long-term career in Nuclear New Build

Principal Accountabilities

Your responsibilities will be diverse, challenging, and crucial to project success:

Construction Oversight & Delivery

• Support the delivery of construction activities within your allocated area.
• Review method statements, sequencing, progress plans and resource allocations.
• Monitor works on site and log findings through daily construction reports.
• Recommend temporary mitigation measures for safety or quality risks.

Coordination & Communication

• Act as a key link between contractors, project controls, logistics, commercial, H&S, and QA teams.
• Attend pre-start briefings and help cascade key daily messages.
• Organise and lead PLOD/PLOW meetings, ensuring clear communication and follow-up actions.

Safety, Quality & Assurance

• Undertake safety and assurance inspections aligned to the project's HSPI requirements.
• Support the identification and escalation of potential quality issues before they impact delivery.
• Ensure the project maintains high standards in line with safety and nuclear culture expectations.

Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience

Essential

• Minimum 5 years construction experience (Civils, MEH, or major infrastructure).
• Background in regulated industries such as nuclear, pharmaceuticals, petrochem, chemical, oil & gas.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, constraints, and site logistics.
• Knowledge of CDM Regulations.
• Excellent communication and reporting skills.
• Qualification in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or Construction Management, or equivalent experience.
• SMSTS or IOSH

Highly Desirable

• Experience on large, complex, or high-security sites.
• Familiarity with nuclear culture, behaviours, quality requirements, or assurance processes.
• Strong stakeholder and contractor coordination experience.

Are you ready to be part of a project that's reshaping the energy landscape of the UK? This is your opportunity to make a significant impact on the construction of Hinkley Point C. If you have the skills and experience to lead this challenging endeavour, we want to hear from you.
