I&C Construction Supervisor

Sector: Nuclear New Build / Instrumentation & Control

Location: Bridgwater / HPC Site Based

The Opportunity: We are looking for a specialist I&C Construction Supervisor to join a Tier 1 engineering partner at Hinkley Point C. This is a high-authority, technical leadership role responsible for the installation, integration, and handover of complex Instrumentation and Control systems within the nuclear island and turbine halls.

The Role: Reporting to the Lead Construction Manager, you will be the driving force behind the successful execution of the I&C erection strategy. Your primary goal is to ensure that all digital and analog control systems are installed to exact specifications and seamlessly transitioned to the commissioning phase.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Execution: Lead the execution of the I&C erection strategy. This includes creating detailed sub-schedules to ensure all instrumentation works align with the flagship project's master schedule.

• Turnover & Commissioning: Manage the creation and maintenance of Turnover Packages (TOPs). You will ensure that all I&C systems are fully documented, tested, and ready for commissioning handover on time.

• Subcontractor Management: Oversee specialized I&C subcontractors, ensuring the highest workmanship standards and strict adherence to the Site Quality Assurance Programme.

• Commercial & Variance Control: Investigate deviations, non-conformances (NCRs), and extra works. You will coordinate with site management to minimize cost impacts and resolve claims fairly and promptly.

• Project Monitoring: Provide critical data and input to the Construction Monitoring System (CMS) and maintain a comprehensive site logbook to track all relevant project events.

• Interface Coordination: Liaise with Engineering to clarify technical documentation and coordinate with other discipline managers (Mechanical/Piping) to manage cross-functional interfaces.

• Safety & Quality: Enforce the site-specific EHS plan and "Quality First" culture. You have the full authority to suspend non-compliant or unsafe work and deliver essential toolbox talks and risk assessments.

• Punch List Management: Take proactive action to ensure all I&C punch list items are cleared to support the commissioning team's requirements.

What We're Looking For:

• Education: University degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, or a related discipline (Bachelor's or Master's degree).

• Power Project Experience: You must have completed at least two full cycles of large-scale power plant construction projects.

• I&C Expertise: Thorough technical knowledge of I&C systems, power plant operations, and site construction execution.

• Leadership Authority: Proven experience in managing subcontractors and subordinate personnel, with the ability to conduct assessments and appraisals.

• Commercial Awareness: A strong understanding of cost-benefit tradeoffs, non-budgeted costs, and contract management.

Attributes:

• A "Big Picture" thinker with an obsessive eye for technical detail.

• Decisive problem solver with a positive, goal-oriented mindset.

• Professional, loyal, and committed to high-compliance nuclear environments.

• Fluent in English (oral and written); multicultural experience is highly desirable.
