NG Bailey


Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater, Somerset

Permanent 

Competitive salary + Car/Car Allowance + Flexible Benefits

 

NG Bailey are proud to be involved in the Hinkley Point C project based in Bridgwater, Somerset.  This is the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in Britain providing zero-carbon electricity for around six million homes. NG Bailey, the UK's leading independent engineering and services business, are proud to be part of the MEH Alliance, a joint venture to deliver the mechanical, electrical and HVAC installation for the project.

 

As part of recent growth on this project, we are looking for additional Quality Managers to join us and support delivery in ensuring that all aspects of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are implemented effectively throughout the lifecycle of the project. Each Quality Manager will primarily oversee the function for a specific discipline, so we are looking for applicants from Mechanical, Electrical or HVAC backgrounds.

 

This is a full-time permanent position based at Hinkley Point C in Bridgwater. The project has options in place for applicants who are working away from home through the week and generous uplifts and allowances are offered to accommodate this.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Oversee the implementation and maintenance of the quality management system within your designated area, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and project specifications.
  • Develop review, and approve procedures, work instructions, and quality plans specific to your area, ensuring they are aligned with project requirements and best practices. 
  • Oversee quality control inspections and audits to verify compliance with QA requirements, identifying non-conformances, and implementing corrective and preventive actions as necessary. 
  • Manage the documentation process within your area, to ensure the availability of accurate and up-to-date records for regulatory compliance and project traceability.
  • Specifically ensuring Inspection Test Records are available and in use for all works within the discipline and life time quality records are monitored through project maturity ensuring readiness for handover.   
  • Ensure the identification and correct raising of NCRs for all areas of nonconformance in all aspects of the alliance works and processes. Monitor NCR progress towards closure and maintain constant communication for relevant teams on NCR progress and closure requirements.
  • Provide training and guidance to project personnel, on quality procedures, standards, and requirements applicable to your area, promoting a culture of quality awareness and continuous improvement. 
  • Identify potential quality risks and hazards within your area, conducting risk assessments, and implementing risk mitigation measures to prevent quality issues and ensure the safety and reliability of the nuclear facility. 
  • Ensure compliance with applicable nuclear regulatory requirements, codes, standards, and licensing conditions related to quality assurance and quality control activities within your area of responsibility. 
  • Coordinate with other project disciplines, such as engineering, construction, and commissioning, to address interface issues, resolve conflicts, and facilitate smooth integration of quality assurance processes across different project phases.


Qualifications:

  • Qualifications in an Engineering discipline, ONC / HNC / HND (Electrical, Mechanical or HVAC)
  • Auditor Certification, preferably ISO9001:2015 Lead Auditor, registered with IRCA
  • Preferred membership of Chartered Quality Institute


Experience:

  • Experience in progressively responsible quality engineering positions, within major projects
  • Previous experience in the nuclear sector and working within an alliance would be beneficial.

 

For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

Why Join Us?

For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fuelled with massive amounts of home-grown energy.

Our teams up and down the country are proudly continuing to serve the nation – but they also have an eye on the future.

EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk.

Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education.

We’re not just building new nuclear power stations. We’re developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skills areas.

It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and although we have thousands of them there’s always a need for more.

Our industry has a mind-boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it’s also an industry which is changing.

We’re a responsible business and proud to be Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. With size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more.
