MY PROJECT
- Hinkley Point C (HPC) project, the first two EPRs in the UK
I am Senior Business Manager at Assystem, and I am PMO lead on the Hinkley Point C project. I provide cross-functional support through the PMO function. This includes project management, project controls, i.e. planning, cost engineering and risk management. I also play a role in the quality alliance providing them with operational support.
About Hinkley Point C, the project consists of building two reactors (EPR) of 1,600 MW each, intended to provide low-carbon electricity by 2025. The plant is located in the county of Somerset, in the southwest of England. It is a definite asset for the United Kingdom to reach its goal of carbon neutrality in 2050!
For you, what makes working at Assystem so special?
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
I want my five-year-old daughter to have a sustainable future. Every morning, this is what makes me want to get out of bed and do my best to improve the future for the next generation and beyond.
The project, I am working on is helping to create that sustainable future. Moreover, Assystem is participating more broadly, through a strong involvement in projects that enable the switch to low-carbon energy, which is essential in the fight against climate change.
