Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all.

Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) provides a British solution to a global energy challenge.

We are in a unique position to become a global leader in SMR technology and the UK's premier clean energy export.

The Programme Directorate sits at the heart of delivering our SMR programme.

Working across complex engineering, regulatory, procurement and construction activities, the team drives collaboration, innovation and delivery to help bring a new generation of nuclear power to life.

In this context, we are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to support a Programme Manager in delivering key projects across our SMR programme.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a direct role in one of the UK's most ambitious engineering programmes, helping to deliver projects safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards.

We'll need you to:

• Monitor project performance, risks, issues and opportunities, ensuring appropriate mitigation and escalation where required
• Collaborate with engineering, commercial, procurement and regulatory stakeholders to drive successful project outcomes
• Support project governance activities, reporting requirements and decision-making processes
• Assist with project cost management, forecasting and budget tracking activities
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, lessons learned and the development of project management best practice
• Ensure activities are delivered in line with safety, quality and regulatory requirements

As you can see, this is a varied and high-profile role where you'll bring strong organisational skills, a collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively across a broad range of stakeholders.

We're particularly interested in hearing from people with:

• A recognised project management qualification, such as APM PMQ, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience supporting or delivering projects within engineering, infrastructure, energy, construction or other highly regulated environments
