Mechanical Area Integration Engineer

Mechanical Area Integration Engineer

Long term contract

Hinkley Point C, Somerset

All inclusive day rate up to £525 Umbrella (PAYE)

Hybrid working options

An incredibly exciting opportunity to join an exciting & challenging project at Hinkley Point C (HPC), where they are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low-carbon electricity for around six million homes. The purpose of the Delivery Integration Team is to ensure that the schedule of planned work 16 weeks prior to implementation is credible and deliverable. This entails resolving sequences in the schedule which cannot be delivered as originally planned and providing visibility of the availability of resources to deliver it whether; labour, materials, equipment or logistics. The Area Integration Engineer will support the Area Integration Lead review and develop construction sequences for structures, systems and components within their designated area; from manufacturing completion through to site construction, erection and commissioning ensuring that the sequence supports key schedule milestones. This will involve:

- Reviewing the construction schedule to ensure that identified sequence can be implemented in conjunction with related structures, systems and other constraints.

- Review availability of materials and equipment to assess project readiness to commence works.

- Support resolution of "hotspots" to maintain the overall schedule milestones where necessary supporting "Best For Project" decision making.

- Providing oversight of the Project's application of "Delivery Work Pack" & "Interface Data Sheet" procedures.

The Area Integration Engineer will need to interact with many of the other functions on site, key ones being; Engineering, Project Management, Planning, Procurement, Delivery, Commissioning and Site Operations. The Integration role is also likely to involve working on transverse issues across different Areas. The analysis horizon of the Area Integration team needs to look beyond current on-going activities on the HPC Site, typically they should be working to deliver a credible schedule well in advance of T-16 weeks before planned implementation. The Area Integration Engineer will need to use 3D and/or 4D tools, such as Navisworks and/or Synchro. They need to be able to interrogate a P6 schedule and manipulate data extracted from it using Excel and present it using the other Microsoft Office and online tools. They will also need to manage data via databases or PowerBI.

Some of what you will be doing

Initially, the Area Integration Engineer will be assigned to support an Area Integration Lead typically covering a defined set of buildings and associated systems. As the Integration Engineer's knowledge and experience grows, they may also be asked to support transverse issues, following systems across building boundaries and Equipment back to the relevant programme.

The Health and Safety of the workforce, Public and Environment is the HPC Projects overriding priority, for all activities being performed by NNB and our Contractors. The Delivery Integration team supports this though the process of planning the work and helping the coordination and cooperation of construction activities across the project. This supports the sites Quality mission and contributes to the projects "Right First Time" objective.

The Area Integration Engineer will be accountable for delivering tasks as defined by the Area Integration Lead. They need to ensure that they meet the site's Health and Safety expectations and comply with the HPC Life Saving Rules. In addition to compliance with specifications, codes and standards, the Delivery Integration Engineer also needs to ensure that construction industry custom and practice and lessons learnt from similar project or tasks are obtained and applied to their works.

What you will need

A broad understanding of Engineering, Procurement and Construction activities and the integration of these activities. They will also have a good understanding of project planning processes and the ability to identify and support the resolution of complex issues and interfaces. Delivery integration has a wide-ranging perspective of the project, consequently Area Integration Engineers need to be able to work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders using good analytical, communication and influencing skills to gather data and agree resolutions.

• Degree in Civil, Mechanical, or a demonstrable level of experience based on years of experience and project assignments.
• Extensive experience in delivering complex construction projects.
• Knowledge and experience of planning tools (P6), 3D model interrogation (Navisworks) and use of Microsoft Office software suite packages particularly Excel and Power point.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Construction health and Safety qualification eg. IOSHH Managing Safely.
• Nuclear construction background.
  • Experience operating in a highly regulated, high security environment.
  • Knowledge of French would be advantageous.

Work Location

The post holder will be expected to spend 4 days/ week working from company offices. HPC should be considered as the primary office location however it will also be necessary to also work from the Satellite Delivery Centre (SDC), Bridgwater and Aztec West Bristol as required.
