About the Role
As a Project Engineer, you will play a hybrid role combining technical coordination with Assistant Project Manager responsibilities. You will use your engineering knowledge to support project decision‑making.
Working closely with Senior Project Managers and Project Managers, you will help manage interfaces between engineering, construction, and commissioning teams, support the resolution of technical queries, oversee progress in your work area, and contribute to safe and efficient project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
• Support the Project Manager in the day‑to‑day delivery of project scope
• Act as the “engineering conscience” within the delivery team verifying intent, compliance, and constructability before work proceeds
• Coordinate engineering, construction, and commissioning interfaces to ensure seamless work package integration
• Facilitate site‑based problem solving and escalate technical/logistical issues promptly
• Monitor site progress, verify completed works, and support quality assurance processes (inspections, NCR management, configuration control)
• Assist with stakeholder engagement and communication activities
• Act as technical liaison between the delivery team and the Site Engineering team
• Support change control processes, ensuring variations are correctly assessed and documented
• Support the Project Manager with project planning activities, package coordination, and day‑to‑day delivery oversight.
• Use your technical knowledge to review and interpret engineering information, ensuring the project team receives clear, accurate input.
• Manage and coordinate engineering queries (TQs/RFIs) with designers and contractors, ensuring timely resolution.
• Contribute to risk, change, and issues management processes, providing technical context to support decision-making.
• Support project governance by preparing inputs for progress meetings, dashboards, and reporting cycles.
• Participate in readiness reviews, assurance activities, and hold‑points with the wider delivery and engineering teams.
Knowledge & Skills
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across multiple stakeholder levels
• Excellent planning, organisational, and project management abilities
• Ability to adapt to evolving project environments
• Solid understanding of project engineering principles, ideally within a regulated sector
• Working knowledge of engineering drawings, specifications, and construction methodologies
• Ability to interpret technical documentation and communicate complex information clearly
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Proactive problem‑solving mindset with strong attention to detail
• Proficient in AutoCAD
• Understanding of CDM Regulations
• Knowledge of construction methodologies, project planning, and resourcing
• Ability to translate technical engineering information into clear, delivery‑focused actions for project teams.
• Strong coordination skills with an understanding of how engineering, construction, and commissioning interfaces align in major infrastructure projects.
• Awareness of project controls (cost, schedule, risk) beneficial.
Essential:
• Degree in Engineering, Construction, or a related discipline
• Experience in a project delivery environment within construction, decommissioning, or another regulated sector (defence, oil & gas, rail, etc.)
• Experience working with multi‑disciplinary engineering teams
• Demonstrated site‑based experience in construction or installation
• Knowledge of CDM Regulations, QA processes, and safety standards (nuclear beneficial but not essential)
• Working toward or holding membership of a recognised institution (e.g. ICE, IMechE)
Desirable:
• Experience in the nuclear industry
• Project Management qualifications (PFQ/PMQ or equivalent)
• Experience supporting Project Managers or package managers in a delivery or construction environment is advantageous.
