We are looking for a decisive coordinator who acts as the primary engineering link between our design house and front-line delivery teams. You will enforce strict procedural controls, managing multi-tier design approvals (CAT 0–3), and exercising absolute stop-work authority when necessary.
Your team

- Develop collaborative solutions with the TWD to mitigate or eliminate risks.
- Work with the TWD during drafting to address early risks.
- Compile and submit Temporary Works reports internally (CAT 0/1) or to the client (CAT 2/3) for formal review
- Review Risk Assessment Method Statements and communicate residual risks to site teams.
- Halt any onsite operations if temporary structures appear unsafe.
- Ensure operations adhere to the Health and Safety at Work Act.
- Provide Temporary Works Supervisors (TWS) with full design details for clarity.
- Enforce routine maintenance and mandatory inspection regimens during use.
- Inspect installations and issue permits to load once verified satisfactory.
- Issue permits to strike only after confirming concrete strength or EV2 test records.
- Verify the quality of structural materials upon arrival.
- Enforce mandatory hold points to prevent premature construction steps.
- Ensure all installations match the latest drawing revisions.
- Coordinate with TWD, TWS, and Delivery teams for seamless installation and use.
- Ensure all TWS personnel operate in strict accordance with project procedures.
- Prevent unauthorised alterations by strictly managing design deviations.
- Check proposed material or construction changes against the original design.
- Review, formally check, and sign off on all plan modifications.
- Align all operations with BS 5975 guidelines and CDM 2015 regulations.
- Maintain a live onsite register and submit it monthly for client acceptance.

- Deep understanding of BS 5975 and CDM 2015
- Experience managing Temporary Works Registers
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to effectively bridge the gap between NNB (client), designers, and delivery teams
- Proven ability to strictly enforce procedural compliance in highly regulated environments
- Due to the high-oversight nature of nuclear construction and the need for live, physical verification of temporary structures, consistent, daily site attendance is a mandatory requirement.
