Job Title: Secondary Steel Erection Supervisor - Hinkley Point C (HPC)
Sector: Nuclear Infrastructure / Structural Engineering
Location: Bridgwater / HPC Site Based
The Opportunity: We are looking for a Secondary Steel Erection Supervisor to join a lead engineering contractor at Hinkley Point C. This is a vital site-based role responsible for the end-to-end supervision of secondary steelwork installations, ensuring that all structural supports, platforms, and secondary frameworks are delivered safely, on schedule, and to exact nuclear quality specifications.
The Role: Reporting to the Construction Manager, you will be the driving force for secondary steel execution on-site. You will oversee the day-to-day delivery, coordinate multi-skilled crews, and manage the critical interfaces between civil, mechanical, and piping teams to ensure a seamless handover process.
Key Responsibilities:
Site Execution & Supervision: Lead the daily installation, alignment, and bolting activities for all secondary steelwork. You will ensure that all crews follow approved method statements and rigorous nuclear lift plans.
Resource Coordination: Efficiently allocate manpower, plant, and equipment to meet demanding construction milestones. You will ensure that work packs, drawings, and materials are staged and ready ahead of execution.
Inter-disciplinary Liaison: Act as a key point of interface between structural, piping, and electrical teams to ensure that secondary steel supports are integrated correctly within the wider build.
Progress & Performance: Monitor productivity on the ground, identifying constraints and escalating potential delays to site management while maintaining a "Right First Time" approach.
Safety Leadership: Enforce strict adherence to site Permit-to-Work systems and project HSE policies. You will lead daily toolbox talks and site briefings to maintain a world-class safety culture.
Quality Assurance (QA/QC): Oversee dimensional checks, inspections, and the punch-listing process. You will ensure all works meet the applicable codes and standards required for formal project handover.
Reporting & Documentation: Provide detailed daily reports on progress, manpower levels, and technical queries (TQs), ensuring that all site risks are identified and mitigated.
What We're Looking For:
Technical Background: A formal qualification or apprenticeship in Steel Erection, Structural Fabrication, or a related engineering discipline.
Proven Track Record: Significant experience supervising structural steel or secondary steel installation on major UK infrastructure or power projects (HPC experience is highly advantageous).
Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of heavy lifting operations, complex bolting/alignment procedures, and reading intricate structural drawings.
Leadership: Strong site-leadership skills with the ability to manage diverse subcontractor crews and maintain high standards under pressure.
Safety & Quality Focus: A proven commitment to high-compliance safety standards and the meticulous documentation required in a nuclear environment.
