Descriptif du poste

Vulcain Engineering, an international engineering consultancy, supports global industrial leaders in their transition to a more responsible and sustainable future. We support our customers in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of their complex infrastructure projects that will shape the world of tomorrow. With operations in 17 countries and employing over 6,000 staff worldwide, our business responds to the needs of our clients by delivering high-value engineering expertise tailored to our clients’ most complex challenges.

In the UK, we have a key focus in the Nuclear sector, contributing to ground breaking projects, such as Hinkley Point C (HPC).

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Engineer to join a major nuclear construction project in Somerset. This role sits at the heart of project delivery, ensuring that construction and commissioning activities are fully coordinated, sequenced effectively, and delivered safely and on schedule.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, helping to optimise interfaces between engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning to support efficient project execution.

Some of the main responsibilities of the Senior Project Engineer will include:

• Develop and maintain integrated installation and commissioning sequences across multiple contracts
• Coordinate interfaces between construction, installation, and commissioning teams to ensure smooth delivery
• Identify risks, constraints, and dependencies, and implement solutions to minimise disruption
• Support the development of detailed work plans that optimise sequencing and resource use
• Collaborate with planning teams to ensure project milestones are achievable and clearly reflected in schedules
• Analyse project data and present clear insights to support decision-making
• Promote a strong safety culture and ensure all planning activities prioritise safe delivery
• Engage with stakeholders across engineering, supply chain, and delivery teams to drive a “best for project” approach
  
  

Profil recherché

• Degree in Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• Proven experience delivering large, complex construction projects (typically 10+ years)
• Strong understanding of construction and commissioning processes and their integration
• Experience developing construction sequences and managing project interfaces
• Ability to identify and resolve complex technical and planning challenges
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Experience working in regulated industries or environments with high safety standards
• Familiarity with planning tools and digital construction models is advantageous
• Reside locally to Somerset or be prepared to relocate, as this permanent role does not include travel expense coverage.
  
  

Please note that visa sponsorship is not guaranteed and is assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on role criticality and project needs. Many of our UK projects require high-level security clearance, meaning we can often only consider candidates with an existing, indefinite right to work in the UK. Exceptionally, we may consider visa sponsorship for applicants with niche experience aligned to our core work (e.g. EPR/nuclear new build).
