About the Opportunity

Do you have a talent for solving problems, juggling multiple priorities and getting things done?  Are you someone who rolls up their sleeves and sees things through?  If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re on the lookout for a Project Manager to join our Technology division. You’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative team where no two days are the same, working on a variety of interesting and meaningful projects.

Our multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers and consultants deliver solutions across the nuclear lifecycle.  From desk-based consultancy to on-site work, we provide innovative solutions to solve our clients’ most complex challenges.

This role is based at our Warrington campus.  Due to the nature of the projects (including lab-based projects) you’ll need to be present on site at Warrington for at least 60% of the time.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a project manager with some experience who is looking for a role with plenty of variety, or a junior project manager ready to step up.  You will bring enthusiasm and drive and will enjoy working across multiple projects and keeping lots of plates spinning.
