Job description

Building a sustainable tomorrow

We are seeking a proactive and site-based Temporary Works Coordinator to join the Minor Civil Frameworks (MCF) team at Hinkley Point C (HPC). Operating within a highly regulated nuclear environment, your primary objective is to manage the lifecycle of temporary structures (including scaffolding, deep and medium excavations, shoring systems, formwork, foundations, and edge protection) ensuring total safety, commercial efficiency, and legal compliance.

We are looking for a decisive coordinator who acts as the primary engineering link between our design house and front-line delivery teams. You will enforce strict procedural controls, managing multi-tier design approvals (CAT 0–3), and exercising absolute stop-work authority when necessary.

Your team

• Role Type: Full-time, permanent
• Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 – 17:00
• Location: Site-based role at the Hinkley Point C (HPC) main site office in Somerset.

Making Possible

• Prepare detailed briefs capturing site-specific constraints.
• Ensure designs are created by qualified engineers.
• Check and approve all calculations and design packages before execution.
• Coordinate temporary structures with permanent building designs.
• Act as the first point of contact between designers and site teams.
• Develop collaborative solutions with the TWD to mitigate or eliminate risks.
• Work with the TWD during drafting to address early risks.
• Compile and submit Temporary Works reports internally (CAT 0/1) or to the client (CAT 2/3) for formal review
• Review Risk Assessment Method Statements and communicate residual risks to site teams.
• Halt any onsite operations if temporary structures appear unsafe.
• Ensure operations adhere to the Health and Safety at Work Act.
• Provide Temporary Works Supervisors (TWS) with full design details for clarity.
• Enforce routine maintenance and mandatory inspection regimens during use.
• Inspect installations and issue permits to load once verified satisfactory.
• Issue permits to strike only after confirming concrete strength or EV2 test records.
• Verify the quality of structural materials upon arrival.
• Enforce mandatory hold points to prevent premature construction steps.
• Ensure all installations match the latest drawing revisions.
• Coordinate with TWD, TWS, and Delivery teams for seamless installation and use.
• Ensure all TWS personnel operate in strict accordance with project procedures.
• Prevent unauthorised alterations by strictly managing design deviations.
• Check proposed material or construction changes against the original design.
• Review, formally check, and sign off on all plan modifications.
• Align all operations with BS 5975 guidelines and CDM 2015 regulations.
• Maintain a live onsite register and submit it monthly for client acceptance.
• Document and archive all signed permits, inspection forms, and certifications.
• Supervise the safe removal and striking of all temporary installations.
• Attend design team meetings to contribute feedback and refine processes.

What do you bring to the role?

• Extensive prior experience as a Temporary Works Coordinator on Tier-1 major infrastructure or heavy civil engineering projects
• Valid CITB Temporary Works Coordinator (TWCTC) qualification and a relevant engineering qualification (Degree/HND/HNC)
• Deep understanding of BS 5975 and CDM 2015
• Experience managing Temporary Works Registers
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to effectively bridge the gap between NNB (client), designers, and delivery teams
• Proven ability to strictly enforce procedural compliance in highly regulated environments
• Due to the high-oversight nature of nuclear construction and the need for live, physical verification of temporary structures, consistent, daily site attendance is a mandatory requirement.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary
• A wide range of family-friendly policies
• Company car/car allowance/travel allowance
• 8 % matched pension contributions
• Private healthcare
• Life assurance
• 26 days holiday
