Temporary Works Designer

The HPC Jobs Service supports local people into exciting, long-term careers across our Project.

Role Characteristics

Hinkley Point C is the UK’s first new build nuclear power station in a generation that is critical to the UK NetZero targets.

All roles on the project require key behaviours which support the Zero Harm objective, a questioning attitude, and drive to uphold the standards of safety and quality required by this prestigious project. A committed strong work ethic is essential at all levels.

All candidates are expected to demonstrate their knowledge and experience where possible directly related to the criteria required for the role. It is acknowledged that previous Nuclear based experience will not always be possible, as such supporting with project research and how individual skills may be transferable will be important.

There are opportunities to put together strategic people plans within the nuclear sector, work on wider company people projects, deliver an excellent first class service to employees and ensure the administration and processes that engulf working life are implemented effectively and fairly.

Accountabilities

As a Temporary Works Designer at Hinkley Point C, you will be responsible for developing and verifying engineering design solutions for Temporary Works. You will collaborate with various stakeholders to ensure that all designs meet project requirements and comply with relevant standards and legislation. Your role will include conducting detailed stress calculations and structural analysis to ensure the safety and integrity of Temporary Works.

Key deliverables

• Design Development: Create and develop Temporary Works designs that comply with BS 5975: 2019, ensuring that designs meet project requirements and are feasible for implementation.
• Design Verification: Verify and approve Temporary Works designs before implementation, ensuring they meet the required standards and safety regulations.
• Stress Calculations and Structural Analysis: Perform detailed stress calculations, structural analysis, and load assessments to ensure that Temporary Works are designed to withstand all expected loads and stresses without compromising safety.
• Compliance: Ensure that all designs comply with CDM Regulations 2015 and other legislative standards related to Temporary Works.
• Design Briefs: Prepare accurate design briefs in consultation with the project team, reflecting the actual situation on site.
• Design Checks: Ensure that a competent authority, who was not involved in the original design, carries out design checks to confirm safety and compliance.
• Inspection and Testing: Formalise an inspection and test plan, alongside quality control checklists, to verify that Temporary Works meet certified design standards.
• Certification: Ensure adequate checks are carried out upon completion of the Temporary Works to confirm no adverse effects on the Permanent Works and certification signed by TWD and TWDC.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the Dalkia Temporary Works Designated Individual (TWDI) and the NNB Temporary Works Lead to deliver engineering design solutions.
