Job Title: Project Engineer – Epsom
If you are an experienced and driven Project Engineer with the thirst to prove your technical and delivery abilities, we are waiting for you to join our team. You’ll have exceptional stakeholder communication and people management skills and thrive on working within a dynamic and diverse project delivery environment.
Work on site or off site is your preferred balance as you excel when being flexible and busy in different ways which give you a feeling of achievement at the end of each unique day. You find engaging with others exciting and you are always the first to liaising with clients due to your exceptional communication skills. With a nurturing yet commercial approach to ideas generation, proposition development and delivery, you clearly want to deliver - for yourself, for your organisation and for your client.
You enjoy approaching things in different ways to find the best possible fit. You love making improvements and consider different approaches by thinking independently and as part of a group and are sometimes challenging things that are always done the same way. You are talented and you want to play an effective role in the design of complex new schemes and projects.
However, you don't just tackle these things alone. You are stimulated by encouraging others to develop and grow. You relish in explaining complex ideas, helping people to 'get it', and then watch them go on and achieve more. Building and developing relationships is a key part of who you are. Overall, you get satisfaction from building relationships, with clients and with colleagues, valuing emotional capital. You have a neck for networking that would help your team to delivery efficiently and that could also prove you have an eye to spot and push for new opportunities. You enjoy getting to know people and working out how you can have a positive impact on them — whether that's delivering something that a client needs or helping someone to progress within the organization.
What you will be doing
Through this role you will be working within our Nuclear and Power business in Epsom, where you will be in a unique position of being able to engage with some fantastic, inspirational and challenging projects. From our office in Epsom we are involved in developing innovative, practical solutions for our clients across the UK and further afield, some of which are new build projects like Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C, Bradwell and UKAEA but also existing Infrastructure assets such as Sizewell B and Dungeness.

As a Project Engineer, you will assess technical work, make technical recommendations, make recommendations on behalf of Client, working from Pre-concept through to Detailed Design, through to Installation and Commissioning, experiencing the full life cycle of the project. You will love nothing but resolving a complex practical, technical and commercial challenge as you will be able to showcase your ability to assess topics and take and justify decisions that find the appropriate balance between technical, safety, cost, schedule and quality while using your influencing skills on projects and programmes or work directly for our clients embedded into their major programmes.
The opportunities we have are varied in size and nature of backgrounds and experience levels. Through this, you’ll aspire to learn, on your own or whilst supporting others within our diverse multi-disciplinary teams and love showing your support towards the growth of our capabilities through building a reputation for excellence, mentoring others, supporting business development and bidding activities.
