About the Opportunity

Jacobs are recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to join our Nuclear Power Engineering and Technical Services team supporting our key client EDF with their nuclear generation fleet in the UK.

This is a key role within our Project Management Resource team which are based at all UK sites and stations. You will be supported and mentored by experienced project management professionals within Jacobs and given the training and opportunities you need to develop and expand your project management, business development and leadership skills with larger and more complex projects. To support project delivery there is a well established team of engineering professionals with a range of skills and expertise in the field.

You will be part of a large client-led team at Dungeness B Power Station, with occasional business travel to other UK sites/stations. Flexible working arrangements between office and home may be possible, however the role will predominantly be based at the Power Station.

Since 1983 Dungeness B has generated low carbon electricity for 38.2 million homes and was the first Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor to begin construction in the UK. The station is now at a new phase in its life - defueling and decommissioning. This involves the safe removal of all spent fuel from the reactor core, the cooling ponds and stores whilst looking ahead and preparing for deconstruction. At a time of nuclear resurgence working for Jacobs at Dungeness B offers a unique opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills within an operational defueling environment whilst also looking ahead to future potential opportunities in nuclear new build or decommissioning and deconstruction.

What you'll be doing:
  • Managing multi-discipline projects throughout the full project lifecycle (gated process)
  • Responsible for setting the project execution strategy in agreement with the client
  • Managing a cross-functional integrated project team
  • Managing the approved budget, scope, change control, risk and opportunities across all designated projects
  • Monitoring and managing schedule progress and providing key stakeholders with regular updates
  • Preparation and presentation of monthly progress reports for governance review
  • Driving the delivery of the projects to ensure safe delivery, on time, and meeting business and technical quality requirements
  • Accountability to the client for successful delivery of all aspects of your assigned projects

Here's what you'll need:
  • Degree educated, ideally in an engineering discipline
  • APM PMQ or equivalent and proficient in the use of project management tools
  • Demonstrable experience of managing projects throughout the full project lifecycle, ideally across a range of complex multi-discipline projects and environments, and management of an integrated project team
  • A good understanding and knowledge of engineering project management, design, procurement, safety case, construction and installation/commissioning management
  • Previous experience of estimating, cost control, planning and commercial awareness including the preparation of business cases and sanction/ funding papers
  • Strong communication, organisational and team-building skills
  • Knowledge and experience of delivering construction projects under CDM
  • Ideally experience in managing and delivering projects in an engineering context, with a good understanding of principles, out-comes and impacts.
  • A background of working at Power Stations and Nuclear Licensed Sites is preferred but not essential and everyone working in our team will have a proven track record of working within highly regulated environments with high safety standards and culture
