The Opportunity

As a Senior Project Manager within the Conventional Island Turbine team on Hinkley Point C, you will take a central role in delivering major installation activities that support the project’s contribution to the transition towards An Electric Britain.

This role also offers exceptional professional development opportunities, working closely with senior leaders and technical specialists across one of the UK’s most ambitious engineering projects, supporting both your expertise and your journey towards An Electric Britain.
