Engineering Manager (Nuclear - Clyde)

Engineering Manager

Glasgow, UK

Talented people are the key to our success.

This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead the commissioning capability across the Clyde Programme from the ground up. Reporting directly to Morgan Sindall's Head of Engineering, you will define the commissioning strategy, governance, standards, processes and ways of working that will be embedded across a major defence infrastructure programme.

Rather than inheriting an established system, you will create a sustainable, repeatable commissioning framework that integrates commissioning requirements from concept and design through construction, testing, handover and entry into service. Your work will leave a lasting legacy, providing the blueprint for commissioning delivery across current and future Clyde projects.

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager (Commissioning) with significant nuclear-sector commissioning expertise and a passion for building capability, developing teams and driving excellence within highly regulated environments.

The Role

You will lead the recruitment, development and management of the commissioning team while creating robust governance arrangements, commissioning methodologies and assurance processes that support safe and effective project delivery.

Working collaboratively with Engineering, Construction, Quality, Safety Case, Technical Assurance and Operations teams, you will ensure commissioning is fully integrated throughout the asset lifecycle, supporting the successful delivery of complex nuclear infrastructure projects.
