As part of the CWA (Civil Works Alliance), you will support the building of Sizewell C.

What will you do?

If you thrive in complex engineering environments, enjoy solving construction challenges, and want to leave a lasting legacy, we'd love to hear from you.

Developing and maintaining site plot plans and logistics layouts
                        
Producing and reviewing technical drawings, BIM models and logistics sequences
                        
Designing temporary infrastructure, accommodation facilities and utility solutions
                        
Creating innovative construction methodologies and logistics strategies
                        
Coordinating temporary works and managing key engineering interfaces
                        
Identifying operational risks and implementing practical solutions
                        
Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to optimise site operations
                        
Supporting the safe and successful delivery of one of the UK's largest construction programmes

What are we looking for?

We're looking for a proactive engineering professional who can turn complex challenges into practical solutions.

Experience working on large-scale infrastructure or civil engineering projects
