About the Project

This is a flagship opportunity to work on one of the UK’s most significant and complex infrastructure programmes — the construction of a new nuclear power station and associated facilities in Somerset. The development includes extensive civil engineering, groundworks, modular building installation, logistics and crane-led operations, acting as a pivotal part of the UK’s low carbon energy infrastructure and long-term energy strategy.

Modular and offsite construction techniques are central to the delivery of key site accommodation buildings, welfare facilities, offices and service infrastructure, with modules manufactured offsite, transported and craned into position with precision.

The construction environment is highly dynamic and secure, with strict safety and regulatory requirements, and significant civils and plant coordination demands.

The Company

You will be working with a specialist construction contractor experienced in modular construction, offsite build solutions, commercial and civil engineering delivery across the UK. The business has a strong track record of interfacing with major infrastructure clients and delivering complex builds within regulated environments, including modular accommodation, office and welfare buildings on large industrial and infrastructure sites.

The Role – Site Manager

We are seeking a Site Manager to lead the onsite delivery of civils, groundworks, modular installation and crane operations throughout the project lifecycle. You will take responsibility for all aspects of site delivery — from early mobilisation and ground preparation through to modular placement, integration with civils packages and final handover.

This role requires a proactive, experienced construction professional who is comfortable working in a large-scale, safety-critical environment, managing multiple subcontractors and controlling high-risk activities.
