With more than 55,000 people in 40+ countries, working at Jacobs offers an exciting range of opportunities to develop your career within a supportive and diverse team who always strive to do the right thing for our people, clients and communities.

We also give back to our communities through our Collectively program which incorporates matched-funding, paid volunteering time and charitable donations.

Work-life balance and flexibility is a key focus area for Jacobs. We’re happy to discuss hybrid, part-time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and our business.

About the Opportunity 

This role is for an Operations Manager to lead a nuclear safety case team within our Nuclear Power business. Our offices are located in Gloucester, Knutsford, London and Newcastle, with a significant number of other Jacobs offices around the UK that could also be used as a base location as required. We operate flexible and hybrid working arrangements and although this role is assumed to be full time, we will consider part time applications. 

The Safety Case team are working collaboratively across the civil nuclear markets on both national and international projects. Our work spans next generation and emerging reactor technologies, supporting the operation and plant life extension of existing nuclear facilities, and supporting the immediate shutdown safety cases for stations entering decommissioning. We hold key strategic relationships and frameworks with clients in all these sectors.

Are you good at spinning plates? 

It’s not something you see very often on TV these days, but figuratively, it is a very useful skill, one of which is vital if your goal is to keep nuclear power stations operating safely, contributing to the UK’s Net Zero carbon target, or to help prepare them for decommissioning. 
 
The UK’s five operating stations deliver 16% of the UK’s power, and it takes a large team delivering 100’s of projects to enable these stations to continue generating as well as defuel the three stations that have ceased operation - and that’s a lot of plates.
 
And this is where you come in

Your role will be Team leadership focused on the care, wellbeing, personal development and career development of our staff aligned to Jacobs core values and expectations. We are seeing an unprecedented growth in nuclear safety case opportunities and therefore the growth of the team will also be a key focus area to support this growing client base in our current and new markets. If you’re familiar with project delivery, you’ll know that they have plenty of moving parts and complexity, which is why you’ll be working alongside our Operations Managers and with our Framework Service team too. 

People are at the heart of everything we do 

Centre to the success of the role will be your people skills, building effective relationships and interacting with multiple internal and external stakeholders in multiple locations. 

You’ll also work closely with colleagues to support activities that offer the best service to the client. Through your interactions, you’ll be able to gather useful intelligence on client needs and work with the team to deliver innovative solutions. 

You’ll utilise your strong communication and engagement skills to achieve client, people and business outcomes, working with your team and peers that are based in different locations across the UK. 

As well as focusing on the support to this framework, you’ll get involved in other aspects of our high-performing business. We’re continuously evolving and growing the business, so there’s plenty of opportunity to evolve and grow your skills and career too. 

This role will be based at one of our Jacobs UK offices and will require some presence on generating nuclear sites. We put flexibility at the heart of what we do and we’re happy to consider flexible working patterns. Key responsibilities:

Developing and growing strong, highly value adding client relationships through privileged positions and interfaces linked to existing framework agreements Building relationships within Jacobs and with partner organisations to deliver value adding solutions to our clients and to enhance delivery Oversight of the delivery of projects and tasks  Ensure excellent project execution, meeting or beating the delivery commitments made Ensuring that all work undertaken complies with the H&S, Quality and governance requirements of the business Ability to work remotely whilst successfully achieving deliverable based outcomes through a virtual team Coordination of resourcing/recruitment needs, and leading with candidate interviews, candidate selection and approval process
