TECH-AGNOSTIC ROLE

Assistant Site / Project Manager - Fit Out & Refurbishment
Location: Central London - Projects across Zones 1 and 2
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 DOE + day rate option available
Benefits - Travel expenses, hands-on exposure, genuine progression route

The Opportunity
We are working with the same ambitious, family-run contractor operating across London’s commercial fit-out and refurbishment market. They have built a strong reputation for quality delivery, repeat business and looking after their people.

Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of work, they are now looking to recruit an Assistant Site or Project Manager. This is a development hire, not a stop gap.

The intention is clear: invest in the right person and grow them into a fully-fledged Site Manager or Project Manager over time.

The Role of Assistant Site/Project Manager:

You will be shadowing and supporting the Contracts Manager across multiple live projects in Central London. This is not a desk based role. It is active, hands on and varied. You will be out on site, learning how jobs are run properly from tender stage through to completion and final account.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting the delivery of CAT A and CAT A+ commercial fit out and refurbishment projects
  • Assisting with site coordination, subcontractor management and quality control
  • Helping monitor programme and ensuring works are progressing as planned
  • Supporting health and safety compliance across sites
  • Assisting with procurement and basic commercial tracking
  • Attending client and site meetings to build confidence and exposure
  • Learning how to manage projects from start to finish under close mentorship
    This is a role for someone who wants to graft, learn quickly and take on more responsibility as they prove themselves.

What They Are Looking For

  • 6 to 12 months experience in construction, either as a Trainee, Assistant, or potentially someone coming off the tools who wants to move into management
  • Exposure to fit out or refurbishment is ideal, but not essential
  • A strong work ethic and willingness to be on site daily
  • Good communication skills and confidence dealing with subcontractors and clients
  • Ambition to progress into a Site Manager or Project Manager role
  • London based or within 30 minutes of Central London
    They are not looking for someone polished and corporate. They want someone sharp, proactive and hungry to build a long term career in construction management.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct mentorship from an experienced Contracts Manager
  • Exposure to multiple live projects across Central London
  • Clear pathway to step up into a full Site Manager or Project Manager role
  • Strong pipeline of repeat client work
  • Supportive environment where performance is recognised and rewarded

For someone early in their career who wants real responsibility and real progression, this is a strong platform to build from.

Role: Surveillance Field Engineer - Electrical (Hinkley Point C) Position: Contract Location: Hinkley Point C, Somerset

Duration: 12 Months Rolling

Day Rate: £379 p/d PAYE + 36 days annual leave // £515.14 p/d Umbrella

Major Infrastructure | Power Generation | Long-Term Project

Rullion are recruiting for an experienced Field Engineer - Electrical to join the Surveillance Team on the Hinkley Point C project - one of the largest and most technically complex construction programmes in Europe.

This role sits at the sharp end of site delivery. You’ll be in the field, ensuring electrical works are installed safely, compliantly and in line with contractual and quality expectations.

If you’ve worked on large-scale industrial builds - power stations, water treatment works, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical, chemical plants, biomass, EFW or other regulated infrastructure - this is your opportunity to bring that experience onto a nuclear new build.

Located in West Somerset, HPC is delivering two EPR nuclear reactors and represents a once-in-a-generation infrastructure programme.

The scale is vast. The quality bar is higher. The scrutiny is relentless.

This is a project where documentation matters, standards matter, and decisions are never made casually in the field.

Principal Accountabilities

As Field Engineer - Electrical, you will:

  • Carry out construction surveillance across designated electrical works
  • Act in alignment with NEC Supervisor principles
  • Ensure works are installed in accordance with contract, design and approved Quality Control Plans
  • Identify and escalate non-conformances
  • Ensure inspection records are completed prior to works being covered
  • Proactively identify quality risks before they become programme issues
  • Work closely with Construction Superintendents and wider site teams
  • Maintain accurate site diaries and surveillance records

This is not a design role.

This is not a desk-based QA role.

This is hands-on, in-field assurance within a highly regulated environment.

Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications & Experience

Essential:

  • 18th Edition (BS7671)
  • C&G 2391 Inspection & Test
  • CSCS or SMSTS
  • HND (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering (or relevant vocational experience)
  • Experience within large construction teams
  • Strong understanding of industrial electrical installation
  • Proven experience producing accurate site diaries under NEC or similar contracts
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to challenge diplomatically

Highly Relevant Backgrounds:

We welcome candidates from:

  • Power Generation
  • Water & Wastewater Treatment
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Petrochemical & Chemical Plants
  • Biomass / Energy from Waste
  • Large-scale industrial construction

If you understand LV/MV distribution, structured quality control, and working within CDM environments - you’ll translate well.

Desirable:

  • Experience installing or overseeing electrical plant installation
  • NEC or FIDIC contract awareness
  • EUSR / National Grid access
  • Use of electronic capture devices for inspections

Are you ready to be part of a project that’s reshaping the energy landscape of the UK? This is your opportunity to make a significant impact on the construction of Hinkley Point C. If you have the skills and experience to lead this challenging endeavour, we want to hear from you.

Application Information:

If this sounds of interest, please APPLY NOW with your CV and we’ll be in touch shortly.

Rullion celebrates and supports diversity and is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for both employees and applicants.
