We are recruiting an electrically biased Construction Delivery Manager to support the safe and efficient delivery of electrical works at Hinkley Point

C.

Despite the job title, this is not a high-level programme management or office-based leadership position. We are looking for a practical, field-focused electrical construction professional who is comfortable working directly alongside contractors, supervisors, engineers and site delivery teams.

The successful candidate will spend the majority of their time in the field, monitoring HV and LV installation activities, power earthing works, construction safety, quality and compliance within the Unit 1 electrical building.

This opportunity may suit an experienced Electrical Site Manager, Electrical Construction Manager, Electrical Supervisor, Electrical Field Engineer or Construction Engineer who is ready to take greater responsibility for site delivery.

The Role

Reporting to the Senior Construction Delivery Manager and supporting the Construction Delivery Lead, you will provide day-to-day oversight of electrical construction activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

Monitoring HV and LV electrical installation and power earthing activities in the field.
Supporting the delivery of electrical works in accordance with BS 7671, the Electricity at Work Regulations and project requirements.
Maintaining a visible presence on site and identifying safety, quality, sequencing or constructability concerns.
Working directly with contract partners to ensure work is delivered safely, correctly and in line with the agreed programme.
Reviewing construction sequencing, available resources and short-term recovery plans.
Undertaking and recording safety, quality and assurance inspections.
Producing clear and accurate daily site logs and escalating significant issues through detailed reports.
Supporting the resolution of site constraints before they affect construction progress.
Coordinating with health and safety, quality, surveillance, logistics, commercial and project controls teams.
Attending contractor pre-start, PLOD and PLOW meetings and ensuring actions are properly recorded.
Supporting tactical logistics planning for electrical work areas.
Challenging unsafe or non-compliant activities and recommending appropriate temporary or corrective measures.
Maintaining clear two-way communication between contractors and the wider construction delivery team.

About You

You will be a practical and confident electrical construction professional who enjoys being out on site and close to the work.

You should be comfortable inspecting installations, speaking with supervisors and trades, challenging poor practice and helping contractors overcome day-to-day delivery problems.
