Role: Construction Delivery Manager
Location: Hinkley Point C, Somerset

Duration: Initial CED 27/12/2026 (Rolling 12month contract thereafter)

Day Rate: 410 p/d PAYE + 36 days annual leave 550 p/d Umbrella

Few construction projects in the UK compare to the scale, complexity, and long-term legacy of Hinkley Point C.

As the UK's flagship nuclear new-build, HPC is reshaping what "best practice" looks like in large-scale infrastructure delivery. We are now seeking an experienced Construction Delivery Manager (Civils) to take ownership of a defined area of works and play a key role in safely driving construction forward on site.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role, suited to professionals who are comfortable operating in demanding, safety-critical environments and coordinating multiple contractors, interfaces, and stakeholders.

Job Opportunity

As Construction Delivery Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day site delivery and supervision of civil construction activities within your allocated section of works.

Working closely with the Senior Construction Delivery Manager, logistics teams, project controls, H&S, and Tier 1 contractors, you'll ensure works are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with programme, quality, and regulatory expectations.

You will act as the key on-site point of coordination-removing obstacles, managing interfaces, and keeping delivery moving in a complex, high-pressure environment with immovable milestones.

Principal Accountabilities

• Support Tier 1 and service contract partners in the safe and efficient delivery of civil works packages
• Oversee on-site activities, sequencing, and short-term planning to maintain programme momentum
• Identify safety, quality, or delivery risks and recommend pragmatic temporary measures to avoid disruption
• Monitor progress on site and produce clear, concise daily and escalation reports
• Coordinate closely with logistics, H&S, commercial, and project controls teams to ensure aligned delivery
• Attend and contribute to PLOD / PLOW meetings, ensuring actions and outputs are captured and driven
• Carry out safety and assurance inspections in line with project KPIs and HSPI requirements
• Maintain strong two-way communication with senior site leadership
• Work shifts aligned to Tier 1 contractor patterns where required

Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience

This role will suit experienced construction delivery professionals from high-hazard or highly regulated environments, including nuclear, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, chemicals, water, or major infrastructure.

Essential experience & attributes:

• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, resource planning, and recovery strategies
• Solid working knowledge of CDM Regulations and site delivery obligations
• Proven experience delivering complex construction works on live sites
• Ability to produce clear, meaningful reports for senior stakeholders
• Confident communicator who builds trust with contractors and delivery teams
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple interfaces
• Tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent experience
• SMSTS or IOSH certified
• Calm under pressure, decisive, and accountable for outcomes

Desirable:

• Experience in high-security or safety-critical environments
• Nuclear experience advantageous, but not essential-strong delivery backgrounds from large civils, MEH, or industrial projects are equally valued
