Overall, you'll be at the forefront of civil design and construction for Hinkley Point C, contribute to the ramp-up of Sizewell C, and support life extension projects for our existing nuclear fleet. Your work will directly impact and contribute to Britain's journey to #CarbonNetZero.

This is a role where your expertise will shape the future of nuclear energy, offering both challenge and reward in equal measure.
