You’ll join us on a salary starting from £65,000 per annum, with the potential for an annual bonus. This is a hybrid role, based at our #HinkleyPointC site, with 2 – 3 days a week on site.
From leading investigations and audits to supporting contractor evaluations and maintaining integrated management systems, you’ll be at the heart of a project that’s shaping the UK’s energy future. You’ll work alongside experts, contribute to forums like CARG and MSGG, and help drive innovation and best practice across the site.

- Experience in audit planning and execution
- Familiarity with forums such as CARG and MSGG
- Expertise in maintaining integrated management systems

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
