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

• 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

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

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

• 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
• 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

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.
