Opportunity for a Tunnel Method Engineer working with Balfour Beatty on the Sizewell C Project,


Salary : £45k-£55k DoE


The purpose of the role is: Support the development of optimised construction solutions for a wide range of complex and major complex infrastructure projects within transport and energy major projects during work winning and pre-construction delivery stages, by using knowledge and experience of design, construction methods, temporary works, planning/logistics and project management.


This requires collaborative working with both the site team and wider methods engineering team to support the development of construction methodology solutions. This is a newly formed and growing team that sits within the Technical Services department, with opportunities for development readily available.
This role is ideally suited to someone looking for a technically focussed engineering role, which will allow them to develop their technical engineering knowledge further, whilst working on a range of exciting projects.
Previous construction project experience at Site Engineer / Section Engineer level (or equivalent) is preferred.


Main Duties : 

 

  • Support pre-construction design and methods development into construction delivery:
  • Support construction methodology solutions development in-line with design development
  • Support the development of construction sequencing following Method-led Construction principles
  • Support the integration of temporary works design with permanent works design through the application of sound engineering principles
  • Develop the concept temporary works schemes required for a project and draft design briefs
  • Develop logistics strategies to support methodology and creation of logistics plans
  • Coordinate and collaborate with a variety of discipline specialists (both in-house capability and external supply chain) on several concurrent projects, either at bid or pre-construction stage, or during early stages of construction, adopting the Method-led Construction approach
  • Support the development of cost and carbon estimates for the works
  • Create detailed schedules for the construction methodology options, using support from the wider methods engineering team and technical resources
  • Support the adoption of modern methods of construction to improve productivity
  • Identify risks associated with the works, support the development of mitigations
  • Record lessons learnt and capturing knowledge for the future
  • Support the development of training resources to the Methods Engineering Team and wider within the business.
  • Implement BIM and digital tools to enhance pre-construction and delivery


Qualifications/Experience : 

 

  • Project experience in complex / major complex project environments (at Site Engineer / Section Engineer level or equivalent)
  • Up-to-date knowledge of construction methodologies
  • Understanding of project planning and resourcing
  • Up-to-date knowledge of industry standard safe systems of work
  • Ensure responsibilities under CDM Regulations
  • Knowledge of using modern methods of construction

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.
