Job description

Can be based in anywhere but you will need to commute to HPC 3 days a week.

Are you a Planning from an engineering background who wants to be the go-to person on one of the most complex and consequential engineering programmes in the world?

We're looking for a Commissioning Planning Engineer to join the Integrated Project Controls (IPC) function at Hinkley Point C - the UK's new nuclear power station and a £26bn landmark in British infrastructure.

This isn't a role where you'll pick up a programme mid-flow. You'll be embedded from the commissioning phase through to energisation - owning the Level 2/4 Integrated Work Schedule, shaping decisions at programme level, and seeing the full arc of a once-in-a-generation project through to completion.

• Own and maintain the master IWS in Primavera P6, fully logic-linked and aligned to the Work Breakdown Structure
• Be the central point of contact for schedule performance - co-ordinating across Cost, Risk, Estimating, and Earned Value disciplines
• Drive the Trend & Change process, identifying risks and opportunities at project level
• Produce programme-level schedule reports and present performance insights to senior leadership
• Act as the intelligent centre of planning - the person teams turn to when they need clarity

What We're Looking For

• Worked in engineering or construction before would be ideal
• Nuclear experience is a bonus - the right major programme background will be considered

Assystem is one of the world's leading nuclear engineering consultancies, and our people are at the heart of HPC - the most significant energy infrastructure project in the UK for a generation.

Here's what you get:

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Competitive salary and performance bonus
• Professional development and chartership support
• Life assurance
• Collaborative, expert team environment
• Hybrid working - with a base at HPC Bridgwater

This is the kind of role that defines a career. If you want to say you helped build Britain's energy future - and be the person others relied on to keep it on track - this is it.
