Hinkley Point ‘C’ (HPC) is a vital part of the UK’s future energy strategy. As the first of the UK’s next generation of nuclear power stations (EPR), HPC is both of high profile and high complexity.

The project is delivered through an organization that comprises multi-disciplinary teams. The MEH program is assigned to deliver the Mechanical / Electrical / HVAC component in terms of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC).

The HVAC Construction Lead Engineer has the responsibility to ensure delivery of the HVAC activities for the life cycle of the contract or work package in accordance with the buildings Project schedule.
