About the Opportunity
Jacobs are recruiting for a Project Manager to join our Nuclear Power Engineering and Technical Services team supporting our key client EDF Energy Nuclear Generation with their nuclear fleet in the UK.
This is a key role within our Project Management Resource team which is spread across our UK network at all UK sites and stations. You will be supported and mentored by experienced project management professionals within Jacobs and given the training and opportunities you need to develop and expand your project management, business development and leadership skills with larger and more complex projects.
Since 1983 Hartlepool has generated over 258 TWh of zero carbon electricity which is enough to power every home in the Tees Valley for 204 years avoiding 90m tonnes of CO2 emissions, or Like taking 43m cars off UK roads for a year.
Key Responsibilities will be:
1. Project Managers are accountable to the client PPM for successful delivery of all aspects of their assigned projects.

2. The role will be based at the EDF's Hartlepool Power Station and will require occasional business travel to other UK sites/stations. Flexible working arrangements between office and home may be possible, however the role will predominantly be based at the Power Station.

3. Everyone working in our team will have a proven track record of working within highly regulated environments with high safety standards and culture.
4. Strong communication and organisational skills are a must with the ability to develop relationships and maintain effective networks and be results-focused tempered with a team-centred approach.

You will also have:
5. A thorough understanding and knowledge of engineering, design, procurement, safety case, construction and installation/commissioning management and commercial contracting.
6. An understanding of Safety Cases, including how they are developed and implemented, relevant Health and Safety and Environment legislation including CDM and the actions required to achieve compliance.
7. An appreciation of quality and how quality is assured and controlled along with relevant experience of commercial, contractual, and financial project drivers.
8. Demonstrable experience of managing projects throughout the full project lifecycle, ideally across a range of complex multi-discipline projects and environments, and management of an integrated project team including staff, agency and assigned functional support.
