About the role
Balfour Beatty are looking for Secondary Lining Section Engineer to join our Major Projects Team, based at Hinkley Point, Bridgwater.
An Amazing opportunity to work on a large-scale project!

Both the concrete segments and the heads are under manufactured to exacting specifications at a purpose-built state-of-the-art facility at Balfour Beatty’s site in Avonmouth, Bristol.
