This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing and exciting business with an excellent reputation in their field.

Steve Vick International (SVI) is dedicated to delivering cost-saving solutions for damaged, redundant, or outdated pipework. Since its foundation in 1981, SVI has been at the forefront in developing products and techniques for the repair, renovation and decommissioning of pipes. Predominantly our work has been in the gas industry but increasingly we are undertaking projects in the water and nuclear sectors.

As Project Manager, you will join a growing team in this newly established role. The role requires managing the execution and control of technical projects, ensuring they meet customer requirements while also minimising risks for the business.

The successful candidate will be able to establish and adhere to best practice and carry out their role in compliance with established safety, quality, environmental and security standards, together with meeting contractual obligations.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone to demonstrate their determination, adaptability and a positive approach to contribute to the overall success of our nuclear team.

Role Purpose

Our new Project Manager will be responsible for successfully managing projects at various stages, showcasing their expertise across stakeholder management, working with third party vendors, suppliers and contractors.

Success Factors

To excel in the role of Project Manager, you must demonstrate high standards of safety, quality and compliance with regulatory requirements within the nuclear industry.

Success in the role would also be viewed as the ability to challenge conventional methods in decommissioning projects while ensuring that projects are delivered on time and to budget.

You will role model clear communication, ensuring accurate information exchange and alignment amongst team members, together with preparing regular project reports for senior management which provide visibility into project progress.

Taking a solutions-driven and creative approach to meet business needs, you will organise and direct the nuclear team according to individual project requirements.
