At Hinkley Point C (HPC), we are constructing two new nuclear reactors, marking the first of a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. Once operational, these reactors will provide low-carbon electricity to power around six million homes.
As an Assistant Project Manager, you’ll report directly to a Project Manager and be part of the WIC (Wrapping, Insulation, and Caulking) Area within the MEH (Mechanical, Electrical & HVAC) Programme.
You’ll support the full life cycle delivery of work packages, from concept through to installation, with package values of around £100 million. This includes being accountable for engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and construction activities, all aligned with the Integrated Project schedule.
WIC is a highly ambitious and technically challenging scope and is essential to HPC operation. You’ll work with the Project Manager to ensure delivery meets safety, quality, time, and cost objectives for this iconic project.
Pay, benefits and culture
Alongside a salary circa £40,000 (negotiable depending on experience), and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.
We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans .

Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Who you are
