Alongside a commitment to our values, we are looking for individuals who can bring the following essential skills and experience:

• Working knowledge of CDM Regulations along with Microsoft Office and engineering/project management tools such as PDMS, Navisworks, CEMAR and Teamcenter, or equivalent.
• Reside locally to HPC or be prepared to relocate, as this permanent role does not include travel expense coverage.

Exceptionally, we may consider visa sponsorship for applicants with niche experience aligned to our core work (e.g. EPR/nuclear new build).
