About Kier
At Kier Group, we are on a mission to sustainably deliver vital infrastructure across the UK, creating lasting legacies for the communities we serve. With an impressive order book exceeding £10bn, we take pride in being a leading Tier 1 contractor, tackling complex and nationally critical projects.

Within our Infrastructure business, we play a pivotal role in the construction, maintenance, and upgrading of essential nuclear facilities. Our commitment to Building for a Sustainable World places clean energy, safety, and long-term value at the heart of everything we do.

Be Part of Shaping the Future at Devonport Dockyard

As we look forward to an expanding pipeline of work at Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth, we invite expressions of interest from experienced site and engineering professionals eager to engage in long-term, secure, and technically challenging nuclear projects.

Please note: We are unable to offer certificates of sponsorship for these roles.

KierBAM is a joint venture between Kier and BAM Nuttall, currently delivering a major redevelopment program at a Royal Navy site in Plymouth. Due to the sensitive nature of the site, BPSS security clearance is required. Candidates must hold a passport from a NATO or MISWG member country and have resided in the UK for the past five years.

We Are Looking For:

  • Site Engineer
  • Section Engineer
  • Sub-Agent

These roles are crucial for the successful delivery of complex nuclear works, supporting day-to-day site activities, engineering coordination, safety, quality, and program delivery within a highly regulated environment.

  • Strong understanding of safe systems of work, quality assurance, and program delivery
  • Experience in nuclear, defense, infrastructure, or other regulated environments
  • A proactive, collaborative approach with the ability to work effectively with multiple stakeholders
