Engineer Expression of Interest

Join Kier Nuclear Projects at Devonport Dockyard!

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.

As part of 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

We are excited to invite expressions of interest from experienced site and engineering professionals who are eager to work on long-term, secure, and technically challenging nuclear projects at Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth.

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

KierBAM, our joint venture with BAM Nuttall, is 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 programme delivery within a highly regulated environment.

Your Experience Matters

At Kier, we value both experience and potential. We welcome applicants with transferable skills and are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:

• Site-based engineering experience within construction, infrastructure, or heavy civils
• Experience working for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractor (desirable)
• A strong understanding of safe systems of work, quality assurance, and programme delivery
• Experience in nuclear, defence, infrastructure, or other regulated environments
• A proactive, collaborative approach with the ability to work effectively with multiple stakeholders

When a suitable role becomes available that aligns with your skills and experience, we’ll reach out directly, giving you the chance to explore the role early on.
