Job Description

Electrical Project Engineer (Major UK Infrastructure Programme)
National / UK (with travel to major nuclear new‑build project)
9‑day fortnight (or 5‑day week depending on phase)
26 days holidays + Bank Holidays
Overview
Join one of the UK’s most significant energy infrastructure programmes and play a key role in delivering complex electrical systems across a large‑scale nuclear construction project. This is an excellent opportunity for Electrical Engineers from regulated industries — or for Project Managers looking to step back into an engineering role to enter the nuclear sector.
The Role
You will support the delivery of LV, HV and wider MEP‑related electrical packages, ensuring projects meet safety, quality, time and cost expectations. Working within a large multidisciplinary environment, you will help coordinate engineering, procurement, construction, quality and safety activities from planning through to installation and handover.
Key Responsibilities
  * Support the safe delivery of electrical work packages to programme requirements.
  * Assist in planning and strategy development aligned with execution plans.
  * Coordinate with contractors, suppliers, internal teams and stakeholders.
  * Monitor progress, schedules, milestones and budgets, reporting regularly.
  * Identify and manage risks, issues and change impacts.
  * Review drawings, specifications and installation quality, raising revisions where needed.
  * Oversee site activities and support supervision of engineers and contractors.
  * Manage procurement timelines, materials, equipment and associated documentation.
  * Ensure compliance with technical standards, procedures and regulatory requirements.
  * Support project controls, administration and record‑keeping.
About You
  * Degree or HNC/HND in Electrical Engineering.
  * Experience in regulated or technically complex environments: Oil & Gas, Defence, Rail, Energy, Data Centres or major construction.
  * Strong project delivery or supervisory experience — ideal for PMs wanting to return to hands‑on engineering.
  * Understanding of safety‑critical or quality‑focused environments.
  * Comfortable working within large project structures and engaged multidisciplinary teams.
Working Pattern & Locations
  * First 6–9 months based in Bristol (Aztec West / Warmley).
  * Transitioning to the Somerset construction site thereafter.
  * 9‑day fortnight or standard 5‑day week available.
Compensation & Allowances
  * £70k package including car allowance.
  * Lodge allowance of approx. £1,500 per month (tax‑free) for travelling workers or centrally booked accommodation with daily expenses (~£40).
  * 26 days’ holiday + bank holidays.
Employee Benefits
A comprehensive benefits package including private healthcare, rewards platform, employee assistance programme, eye care support, retail/technology/travel discounts, cycle to work, holiday trading, sabbatical options, paid professional fees, enhanced family leave, virtual GP access, gym & wellbeing perks, childcare support, salary‑finance schemes and car‑related savings
