Leading commissioning, integrated testing and operational-readiness activities. Delivering successful handover to operations and asset-management teams. Providing clear project reporting and presenting performance to senior stakeholders. Ensuring delivery meets the rigorous safety, quality, environmental and regulatory standards expected on a nuclear licensed site. What We're Looking For You'll ideally have at least 5 years' Project Management experience delivering complex projects within sectors such as: Water Wastewater Utilities Process Engineering Energy Nuclear Infrastructure Major Construction You should bring: Experience delivering design-and-build projects from concept through construction and commissioning.

Strong contractor and supply-chain management capability. Good knowledge of project controls, scheduling, risk and change management. Commercial awareness and confidence managing budgets and contracts. Strong stakeholder-management and leadership skills. The ability to solve complex delivery challenges and make confident project decisions. A sound technical understanding of treatment plant, utilities or process infrastructure. Qualifications Ideally, you'll hold or be working towards Chartered status with a recognised professional institution such as ICE, IMechE, IChemE, IET or APM. A recognised Project Management qualification such as APM PMQ, APM PQ, PRINCE2 Practitioner or equivalent would also be expected. Experience with NEC contracts, commissioning management, environmental management or nuclear quality arrangements would be highly advantageous. Nuclear Experience? It's beneficial - but it doesn't have to define your background. We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced Project Managers who have successfully delivered water treatment, wastewater treatment, utilities or complex process infrastructure and are ready to apply that expertise within a major nuclear new-build environment. Previous experience with Sizewell C, Hinkley Point C, Sellafield, EDF or another major nuclear programme would be a strong advantage. Why This Role? This is an opportunity to take ownership of critical infrastructure on a programme that will shape the UK's energy landscape for decades. You'll work on technically challenging projects, collaborate with some of the industry's leading engineering and construction specialists and play a key role in delivering essential infrastructure for one of Europe's most important major construction programmes.

The Building Services Manager's primary purpose is to provide a high-quality building services maintenance provision and associated facilities management support for the National Collection of Historic Properties and Estates. It is a busy and varied role which makes the everyday interesting, with no two days the same. The Estates Department is made up of four Regions with teams providing professional expertise to conserve and maintain a range of properties from country houses and ruined castles to hill forts and Roman temples. Working from either Dover Castle or remotely from home, you will be part of the South & East Region team, supporting a diverse portfolio of historic sites across Kent and Sussex. As Building Services Manager, you will manage mechanical and electrical assets across historic properties and modern visitor facilities. Working with Estate Managers, the Senior Estate Manager, site colleagues and the Facilities Manager, you will use condition information to prioritise maintenance and plan the timely replacement of end-of-life infrastructure, keeping services safe, compliant and reliable. To do this, the role requires strong project/contract management skills and a working understanding of health and safety regulations in a construction environment (CDM Regulations etc.). It also requires competence in operating within the constraints of heritage and planning policies and statutory requirements, as well as being able to demonstrate a robust understanding of historic building conservation best practice principles. As a confident communicator, you will work collaboratively with Estate Managers, the Senior Estates Manager and site colleagues across the Kent and Sussex portfolio, including the Facilities Manager for the Kent area based at Dover Castle. You will build strong working relationships to coordinate maintenance, projects and day-to-day building services priorities. You will have experience of working with both internal stakeholders and managing contractors in procuring, administering and supervising M&E measured term contracts and associated budgets. You will be confident in preparing works instructions and managing and auditing the quality of work on site. You will also ensure that asset information, maintenance schedules, service records and statutory certification are accurately recorded and kept up to date in the K2 CAFM system, in line with statutory compliance requirements and English Heritage Safety Critical Reporting standards. To be considered as a Building Services Manager, you'll need: 1. Minimum HNC/HND level qualification in mechanical and /or electrical engineering and/or equivalent relevant experience in Building/Construction 2. Experience of client-side administration of M&E term maintenance contracts and schedules of rates, including budget control and management of KPIs 3.
