MEH Engineering Construction Manager
Job Purpose:
To deliver the engineering required for installation of the HPC MEH piping scope on site through leadership of a team of engineers from delivery to site of piping/equipment through to handover to commissioning. To provide integration of the site scope within the wider E2E Piping Engineering team.
Contextual Information:
Operating Environment: The MEH programme is about to enter a change in delivery phase to commence bulk installation on site from the start of 2024, whereas previously the focus has been on securing the design and manufacturing. As such, the spotlight will fall on the construction leads for the engineering delivery of the site scope. The "MEH Engineering Construction Manager" reports to the MEH End to End Engineering Director. The current team size of direct report is around 10 engineers; however, this will grow to match the workload on site and will involve operational leadership of a matrixed team. As this is a front-line site delivery role, there is a necessity to work flexibly under the time pressure of the schedule in order to unblock technical issues to allow continuity of work by the installation teams. The discipline construction leads don't report operationally to the MEH Engineering Construction Manager as they will report to their respective Engineering managers. However, the MEH Engineering Construction Manager is defining the ways of working and is responsible for checking the progress.
Frameworks and Boundaries:
The MEH E2E Construction Manager is part of MEH E2E Engineering, which is delivering the engineering from basic design to handover to commissioning. Delivery of the upstream engineering sequence is outside the scope of the Engineering Construction Lead's role; however, they should ensure integration with the other areas of the team and other disciplines. The MEH E2E Construction Manager will coordinate the 5 disciplines (NSSS piping, BNI/BOP piping, Electrical, HVAC & WIC) from a construction perspective. The MEH E2E Construction Manager will have delegation to perform decision-making on site within a defined boundary to allow efficient and quick resolution of topics.
Dimensions:
MEH End to End Engineering team is currently circa 120 engineers. The MEH Engineering Construction team consists of circa 20 engineers but will grow as the activity starts to ramp up.
Budget responsibilities: management of the MEH JV (installation company) is owned by the Programme Senior Project Manager. The base scope (piping, electrical and HVAC installation) of the JV contract is £2.000m. Efficient management of resourcing according to a defined budget.
Principal Responsibilities:
1. Managing the Contract Engineering Lead activities for HK8010 contract related to the 5 disciplines:
1. Writing of the technical specifications for erection activities
2. Answering Technical Queries
3. Resolving the construction Open Points
4. Coordinating the answer to Exemption Requests
2. Implement the Triple 1 model across all disciplines through good monitoring, deployment of standard field solutions, development of delegation principles, and coordination of all stakeholders.
3. Support the construction Project Managers in establishing Key Performance Indicators to report site progress for construction activities.
4. Provide proactive reactivity and technical experience to enable site construction activities to be executed without blockers to delivery.
5. Coordinate interface with Front Office teams in response to Field Change Requests / Non-Conformances from site.
6. Ensure integration of post-construction activity needs into the construction sequence.
7. Coordinate all engineering activities to support the construction sequence, including identification and implementation of process improvements.
8. Manage transverse activities such as 3D scan, documentation control, and specific activities like PIA, NDT contract.
9. Act as a recognized point of contact for any MEH engineering matters for the MEH-JV, the Delivery leads, or the JDO.
Essential Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience:
1. Proven experience working in an equivalent/related role in the construction industry.
2. Meticulous and rigorous approach to engineering to achieve high professional standards.
3. Proven ability to successfully deliver engineering safely to the correct quality, time, and cost in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment.
4. Strong people leadership skills to ensure efficient delivery through team empowerment.
5. Ability to influence a diverse range of stakeholders.
6. Ability to work autonomously but with awareness of own limitations.
7. Knowledge of contractual and commercial mechanisms.
Desirable Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience:
1. Degree in a related engineering field.
2. Chartered Engineer with a relevant engineering institute.
3. Detailed understanding of PWR design and experience in PWR operations.
4. Working knowledge of French language is an advantage.
5. Good knowledge of CDM Regulations.
Key Competencies:
1. Problem solving and finding solutions.
2. Ability to communicate complex topics simply and understandably to a range of stakeholders.
3. Ability to analyze large amounts of data and consider the viewpoints of various stakeholders to propose balanced ways forward.
4. Ability to influence a broad mix of stakeholders.
5. Persistence and resilience.
