Project Manager – EC&I (Electrical, Control & Instrumentation)

Location: Manchester, Warrington or Derby with Hybrid Working

About the role

We need you to join our EC&I Project Management team, supporting the delivery of complex, multi‑disciplinary engineering projects that are fundamental to the development of the UK’s next generation nuclear technology.

Reporting to a Senior Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of defined EC&I work packages or projects, working closely with EC&I engineering design teams, Procurement & Supply Chain, and wider Programme Management colleagues to deliver work to time, cost and quality.

This role is ideal for a Project Manager who enjoys working at the interface between engineering design and delivery, and who brings a strong understanding of Electrical, Control & Instrumentation systems within complex engineering environments.

What you’ll be doing

We need you to:

Lead the planning, coordination and delivery of EC&I projects or work packages
Work closely with EC&I engineers to understand technical scope, design maturity and delivery risks
Manage schedules, budgets, risks and change, supported by planners and cost engineers
Maintain accurate financial forecasts and delivery plans
Collaborate across Engineering, Programme Management and Procurement to resolve issues and unblock delivery
Provide clear updates on progress, risks and mitigations to the Senior Project Manager
Create a positive, inclusive and collaborative project environment
Capture lessons learned and help improve ways of working across the programme

What we need you to bring

We’re not looking for a “perfect” candidate. If you feel you meet around 75% of the requirements, we’d really like to hear from you.

We need you to bring:

Proven experience managing complex engineering projects, ideally multi‑year and multi‑£m
A solid understanding of EC&I systems and how Electrical, Control & Instrumentation integrates into wider engineering delivery
Experience developing and managing project plans, schedules and budgets
Confidence working in highly regulated or safety‑critical environments (nuclear experience is beneficial but not essential)
Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to navigate difficult conversations and competing priorities

Your EC&I knowledge and experience

This role places particular emphasis on EC&I understanding, so we’re keen to hear about experience such as:

Working alongside EC&I design engineers to translate technical scope into deliverable plans
Managing projects involving control systems, instrumentation, electrical systems or automation
Supporting delivery in environments where design, assurance and regulatory considerations are critical
Understanding how EC&I interfaces with procurement, suppliers and installation activities

Skills that will help you succeed

We need you to demonstrate:

Strong project management capability across planning, scheduling, risk, cost and change control
Confidence using project tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, SAP, Excel, Power BI or similar (training can be provided)
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical topics
Influencing skills that allow you to build trust across engineering and delivery teams
A structured, organised approach with the flexibility to adapt as priorities change

Qualifications and professional background

We’d love you to have:

An Engineering degree, or equivalent experience managing engineering projects
A Project Management qualification (APM PMQ or equivalent), or significant practical project experience
An understanding of product or systems engineering
Membership of a professional body (advantageous, not essential)
Familiarity with UK nuclear regulation or other regulated industries (beneficial but not required)

Location & ways of working

This role can be based at any RR SMR location, with flexible and hybrid working available. We’re open to conversations about working patterns, including part‑time options.

Reward & benefits

Salary: £50,650 - £66,500
Bonus: up to 12.5%
Benefits allowance: £2,200 per year
Pension: Company pension scheme, 125 Employer Contribution
Holiday: 28 days plus bank holidays
Life assurance: 6x pensionable salary
Income protection: 50%
Additional: £250 new joiner payment
We’re committed to flexibility and supporting work‑life balance.

Pay Range:

£50,600.00

£66,465.00

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining a forward-thinking organisation that values transparency, fairness, and innovation. We offer:

A flexible, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling business.
A culture that values diversity, innovation, and continuous learning.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Inclusivity is important to us, and as a Disability Confident organisation, we are committed to fair, supportive, and continually improving recruitment practices that ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.

Also, if you are considering a career move or a sector-jump, please get in touch – we welcome applications from people with transferable skills.

Our Application Process

Due to the safety regulations within the nuclear industry, applicants will be required to participate in additional screening. These are:

Obtaining Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance
Satisfactory completion of a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
Satisfactory completion of a basic financial probity check
