Are you skilled at coordinating plant activities while prioritising safety?

Are you experienced as a Senior Authorised Person or Lock Out Tag Out Officer, with the ability to guide others in maintaining these critical standards??

If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as our next Senior Authorised Person (SAP) here at Hinkley Point C!

The Opportunity

As the Senior Authorised Person (SAP) Electrical & Mechanical (E&M) & High Voltage (HV) at Hinkley Point C (HPC), you will play a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of commissioning and operational activities within a nuclear power plant. This role demands an elevated level of technical expertise and leadership, where you’ll not only ensure strict adherence to safety protocols, but also mentor less experienced SAPs to reinforce safety standards across the team.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a competitive salary and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you will be doing…

In this role, you'll ensure that all activities strictly adhere to site license requirements, statutory regulations, and both company and local procedures, fully integrating safety rules into each task. You'll actively support the Work Management & Commissioning process through the review and execution of station plans and ensure operating procedures are fit for purpose by undertaking periodic or event-based reviews and raising any necessary document amendments.

Key responsibilities in this role include:

• Apply isolations to plant and apparatus to ensure a safe working environment and protect against system-derived hazards during commissioning and maintenance activities, including the preparation, writing and issue of Safety Documents.
• Provide technical leadership and oversight in the application of Safety Rules during the commissioning phase of projects, including high voltage and mechanical plant systems.
• Lead the Safety Rules process at HPC by reviewing, updating, and implementing key safety documentation.
• Actively engage in mentoring and coaching less experienced SAPs, ensuring they are well-versed in isolation techniques and safety practices, with a focus on human performance tools and safety behaviours.
• Investigate and address the causes of any Safety Rules events, applying problem-solving skills and technical know-how.
• Conduct in-field monitoring and assessments of personnel performance, ensuring that safety standards and nuclear professionalism are maintained at all times.
• Promote a strong safety culture by reinforcing best practices and recognising individual contributions to the overall performance of the team.

Who you are…

To thrive in this role, you bring a strategic focus on safety and operational reliability, coupled with a solid understanding of systems and safety rule processes. You’ll either be authorised as a Senior Authorised Person (SAP) or have significant experience as a LOTO officer. A background in the power generation sector or process engineering, particularly in senior authorised person roles, will give you the expertise needed to succeed.

Additional requirements include:

• HNC (or higher) in an engineering or science-based subject, equipping you with the technical foundation for sound decision-making.
• Practical experience in plant isolation for both mechanical and electrical systems, covering both scoping and application, for commissioning and maintenance activities.
• A strong understanding of Safety Rules/Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures and how to apply them effectively in the field.
• Hands-on experience delivering large-scale projects successfully, demonstrating a track record of effective planning, coordination, and achieving ambitious goals.

Applications for this role close: Thursday 13th February

Start Dates: June/July 2025
