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

He is reporting to the Project Manager of his area or disciplines. He will ensure planning and delivery in accordance with all safety, quality, time, and cost parameters to meet the needs of the Project.

Mechanical Construction Lead Engineer on behalf on NNB (HPC) is in charge to:

• Guarantee that Safety is the overriding priority for any activity performed during Pre-Construction activities which includes nuclear safety as well as Industrial Safety. Planning the work must also recognize the importance of a strong Nuclear Safety and Quality culture (conformance with the requirement, implementation of the site adaptation, non-conformance treatment) and the importance of a “right first-time” attitude including the implementation of lessons learnt and share good practice.
• Drive the mechanical activity (mainly piping) in a building from the site delivery to the handover to Commissioning. This includes all the preparation activities before the physical start of the activities in the building (documentation, procurement of material, interfaces with other
• Programmes, synthesis of MEH activities, commissioning needs, access) by gathering project data and producing reports for management review.
