Description
site configuration
standard field solutions
it systems
replication planning
interface resolution
data validation
You’ll play a key role by ensuring the initial reference configuration meets the highest quality standards. You’ll validate and refine input data from HPC to make sure it aligns with SZC’s requirements, while also helping to identify and resolve issues within the MEH scope as equipment moves from manufacture or fabrication to installation on site.
As a MEH Project Engineer you’ll bring your technical and operational expertise to support on the Mechanical, Electrical & HVAC (MEH) branch of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project. You’ll work collaboratively across both SZC and HPC, identifying and implementing practical solutions that capture valuable lessons learned from HPC and feed them back into SZC’s design and delivery.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with project managers, engineering teams, and other key stakeholders across the delivery programmes and the Technical Directorate to ensure effective coordination and knowledge sharing.
- Maintain site configuration across key project phases
- Coordinate continuous improvement initiatives within the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project, sharing learnings with Sizewell C (SZC) and proposing practical solutions (e.g., development of the Standards Field Solutions concept).
- Lead the definition and implementation of Standard Field Solutions for the MEH scope, ensuring alignment with established approaches used in the Civil discipline.
- Support the MEH branch by ensuring the initial reference configuration - based on the latest and most relevant HPC deliverables—meets the highest quality standards.
- Manage engagement with IT systems and tools, ensuring alignment with process and data management requirements.
- Deliver replication activities within the scope, with a focus on replication planning and implementation for SZC.
- Resolve mechanical–civil interface challenges on site, with a particular focus on tolerance issues arising from pre-cast components.
- Address and resolve issues within the MEH scope, following the delivery of manufactured or fabricated equipment to site, managing associated risks and volumes effectively.
