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.
