The role will support the successful delivery of current major nuclear projects, including Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, with a particular focus on BIM coordination, 3D modelling, 3D reinforcement modelling, model assurance and digital delivery governance.

Forming part of the Nuclear UK Capability Leadership Team, the Head of Digital Capability is responsible for defining and delivering Egis Nuclear UK’s digital engineering strategy, ensuring that digital tools, data and ways of working are embedded consistently across all contracts – from existing projects on Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and Nuclear Waste Management & Decommissioning, through to emerging SMR/AMR, Fusion and Defence sector opportunities.

Beyond current delivery, the role will build a future-facing digital capability that helps Egis Nuclear UK differentiate its offer to clients, improve productivity, and create a recognised centre of excellence for digital engineering in the UK nuclear market.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business with significant growth ambitions and shape a capability from the ground up.

You'll have the freedom to influence strategy, the support to build a team, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on some of the UK's most complex and nationally significant infrastructure programmes.
