Job Description

I am recruiting for a Civils Design Manager to join a major nuclear infrastructure programme in Cumbria. This is a key permanent role with a tier one contractor, taking the lead on civil engineering design delivery across a complex, highly regulated site.
 You will be responsible for driving coordinated, buildable design solutions that support safe, efficient construction on a live nuclear project.

 * Provide design input into constructability reviews, methods and temporary works
 * Ensure designs comply with nuclear safety, site licence and CDM requirements
 * Work closely with planning, construction and commercial teams to manage change and risk
 * Support technical queries during construction and resolve design issues promptly
 
 About you
 * A strong civil engineering background with experience on major infrastructure projects
 * Proven experience in a Design Manager or Senior Designer role, ideally with tier one contractor or large consultancy experience
 * Experience of complex reinforced concrete structures, heavy civils and temporary works
 * Previous nuclear or high hazard experience is advantageous, but strong regulated infrastructure experience will also be considered
 * Excellent coordination, communication and client facing skills
 * Ability to lead multi discipline teams and challenge design to achieve the best outcome
 * Degree qualified in civil or structural engineering or equivalent
 * You must have the ability to obtain SC clearance
 You will need to be based in or able to relocate to Cumbria, with regular presence on site.

 * Pension and wider benefits
 * Long term opportunity on a major nuclear infrastructure programme
