Tunnel Method Engineer - Sizewell C - M & T Team - London / Remote working - London

SZC is ultimately owned by two shareholders, EDF and HMG. The shareholders hold their investment in SZC through NNB Holdings Company (SZC) Limited. Over the course of the current shareholding arrangements the shareholdings of the two shareholders will change. The shareholders will fund SZC up until Financial Close through equity in line with the approved schedule and budget. SZC's business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure (including activities relating to hydrogen, direct air capture and/or desalination) at Sizewell C in Suffolk. The principal objectives of the current development phase of the SZC project are to agree and implement the Capital Raise Plan, including completing an equity and debt raise, agree the core supply chain contracts and obtain the regulatory permits and licences required for the construction phase of the Project (including the core environmental permits and nuclear site licence). Prior to the government investment decision SZC operated as part of EDF in the Nuclear Development business unit and was staffed by EDF colleagues and independent contractors who are now in the process of transferring to the direct employment of SZC. It is setting itself up as an organisation capable of delivering a new nuclear power plant, from investment case and funding, to construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance and decommissioning. The SZC construction programme has a technical and commercial business case predicated on technical replication of Hinkley Point C. EDF will be an important supplier of nuclear capability for the SZC Programme from its established nuclear business footprint in the UK.What you'll be doing The purpose of the role is: Support the development of optimised construction solutions for a wide range of complex and major complex infrastructure projects within transport and energy major projects during work winning and pre-construction delivery stages, by using knowledge and experience of design, construction methods, temporary works, planning/logistics and project management. This requires collaborative working with both the site team and wider methods engineering team to support the development of construction methodology solutions. This is a newly formed and growing team that sits within the Technical Services department, with opportunities for development readily available. This role is ideally suited to someone looking for a technically focussed engineering role, which will allow them to develop their technical engineering knowledge further, whilst working on a range of exciting projects. Previous construction project experience at Site Engineer / Section Engineer level (or equivalent) is preferred.

• Support pre-construction design and methods development into construction delivery:
• Support construction methodology solutions development in-line with design development
• Support the development of construction sequencing following Method-led Construction principles
• Support the integration of temporary works design with permanent works design through the application of sound engineering principles
• Develop the concept temporary works schemes required for a project and draft design briefs
• Develop logistics strategies to support methodology and creation of logistics plans
• Coordinate and collaborate with a variety of discipline specialists (both in-house capability and external supply chain) on several concurrent projects, either at bid or pre-construction stage, or during early stages of construction, adopting the Method-led Construction approach
• Support the development of cost and carbon estimates for the works
• Create detailed schedules for the construction methodology options, using support from the wider methods engineering team and technical resources
• Support the adoption of modern methods of construction to improve productivity
• Identify risks associated with the works, support the development of mitigations
• Record lessons learnt and capturing knowledge for the future
• Support the development of training resources to the Methods Engineering Team and wider within the business.
• Implement BIM and digital tools to enhance pre-construction and delivery
  
  Previous experience on tunnels (bored or mechanical)
• Progressing towards professional accreditation in Civil Engineering or equivalent (preferred)
• Ability to work across multiple projects
• Confidence to challenge the normal approach to construction
• Project experience in complex / major complex project environments (at Site Engineer / Section Engineer level or equivalent)
