Piping Construction Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Piping Construction Engineer to play a key role in delivering piping installation works at a landmark nuclear new-build project shaping the UK’s low-carbon future.

This is a hands-on, site-based role where you’ll lead piping construction activities from installation through to testing and pre-commissioning, working closely with contractors, engineering teams, and project stakeholders to ensure safe, high-quality, and on-schedule delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

Construction Supervision & Coordination

• Lead and oversee the installation of piping systems, including pipework, supports, and associated components
• Ensure all works are delivered safely, to specification, and in line with project quality standards

Technical Leadership

• Review and interpret piping drawings, isometrics, specifications, and method statements
• Provide on-site technical guidance to contractors and construction teams

Safety, Quality & Compliance

• Ensure full compliance with UK nuclear regulations, CDM requirements, and project QA/QC standards
• Actively promote a strong HSE culture, identifying risks and driving mitigation measures

Progress & Problem Solving

• Monitor construction progress, report on performance, and proactively address schedule risks
• Resolve technical and construction issues such as clashes, tolerances, or material constraints

Stakeholder Engagement

• Coordinate with subcontractors, client representatives, and multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Support testing, pressure testing, flushing, and pre-commissioning activities

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical, Piping, or a related engineering discipline
• Proven experience delivering piping construction works in the nuclear sector
• Strong understanding of nuclear safety standards and regulated QA/QC environments
• Experience working on complex, highly regulated construction projects
• Confident communicator with strong leadership and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working on-site in a fast-paced construction environment

Desirable

• Experience in large-scale infrastructure or major energy projects
• Knowledge of welding processes, NDT, material control, and installation tolerances
• Experience working with international teams and subcontractors
• Familiarity with 3D BIM models, digital engineering tools, or piping design software

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant nuclear project, working at the forefront of complex engineering and construction delivery. You’ll be part of a collaborative, high-performing team helping to shape the future of UK energy infrastructure.

If you’re a driven Piping Construction Engineer with nuclear experience and a passion for delivering technically challenging projects, we’d love to hear from you.
