Join one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure projects.

Our client is delivering one of the most complex and high-profile nuclear infrastructure programmes in the UK today. Backed by UK Government and a major international energy company, the organisation is moving into a pivotal phase of project development—raising capital, finalising the core supply chain, and securing the regulatory foundations to enter the construction phase.

As a Cost Manager, you’ll be at the heart of a nationally significant programme that will shape the UK’s energy future. This is an opportunity to contribute to a landmark project from the inside out.

The Role

Embedded in the Civil Works Programme, you’ll report into and work under the guidance of the Cost Lead. Your role will be integral to maintaining and evolving the project’s cost management framework, providing timely, accurate and intelligent data and analysis to inform decision-making at every level.

You will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a consistent cost control approach across the Programme—delivering forecasts, performance analysis, earned value metrics and financial reporting, using tools like EcoSys and earned value management systems.

This role is about much more than reporting—it’s about influencing outcomes and helping to drive successful delivery through robust, evidence-based cost control.

• Ensure earned value techniques are correctly implemented across the programme.
• Support the development and optimisation of cost reporting systems.
  
  

• Demonstrated leadership capability in cost or commercial functions.
