Role: Planning Engineers (various levels, up to Principal level) - Hinkley 'C' Nuclear Power Station project

Location: Bridgwater, Somerset (TA5 1UD)

Salary: £(phone number removed) + excellent benefits including travel assistance

Start: June 2025 onwards

An exciting opportunity exists for Planning Engineers skilled in the use of P6 and with experience working on large regulated industry engineering projects to work in support of EDF's Hinkley 'C' nuclear power station construction project.

The client is looking for Planning Engineers with various levels of experience, from those looking to take the next step in their career up to Senior Planning Engineer level, to more experienced planners looking for an exciting challenge offering excellent long term career possibilities.

The positions will be based at the Hinkley 'C' site near Bridgwater, Somerset (TA5 1UD) 3 days/week, with the rest worked from home.

Whilst previous nuclear industry experience would be useful, this is not essential - prior experience supporting large regulated industry projects (e.g. oil and gas, rail, defence, petrochemical, marine, etc) would be equally well suited and happily considered.
