What you’ll be doing
- Support the roll-out of Cost and Forecasting processes and frameworks consistently across the HPC project
- Provide accurate, timely cost reporting in line with project governance
- Work as part of a matrix team aligned to one of the project’s key programme areas (Central, Site, Engineering, MEH, Nuclear Island, Conventional Island, Instrumentation & Controls, or Commissioning)

What you’ll bring
- Solid grounding in cost engineering or cost control on major capital projects
- Comfortable working with reporting frameworks and governance processes in a structured, regulated environment
- Strong analytical skills, with the confidence to interpret and communicate cost and performance data clearly
- A collaborative mindset – this is a matrix organisation, so you’ll be working across multiple teams and disciplines
