Are you a Senior Electrical Project Engineers looking to support Hinkley Point C, with a particular focus on electrical design, build and installation?

The role will initially be design-focused, reviewing electrical plans and helping develop practical solutions that can be successfully installed on site. As the project progresses, you'll follow this work through into the construction and installation phase at HPC.

This would suit someone with strong electrical construction/build experience who understands both the design and practical installation of electrical systems.

The Role:

• Ensuring work meets relevant safety, quality and engineering standards.
• Supporting site teams as the project moves into the construction phase.

Experience Needed:

• Strong Electrical Engineering / Electrical Installation background.
• Experience across design and installation.
• Good practical construction/build experience.
• Ability to read and understand electrical drawings and plans.
• Experience on major construction, infrastructure, energy, M&E or similar projects.
• Electrically biased - this is an installation/project role rather than maintenance.
• Degree, HNC or HND in Electrical Engineering preferred.
• Candidates with an HNC/HND and strong build experience will be considered.
• Nuclear or previous Hinkley Point C experience is not essential.
