Jonathan Eardley

Experienced operational leader with a proven track record of managing teams, coordinating complex site activities, and delivering critical services within highly regulated environments. Most recently, I led the DeWatering team on the Hinkley Point C project, overseeing operational delivery, stakeholder engagement, workforce planning, and the safe execution of essential site services. Skilled in logistics coordination, resource allocation, operational planning, and maintaining effective communication across multiple contractors, departments, and stakeholders to ensure activities are delivered safely, efficiently, and to schedule.

Experienced in chairing coordination meetings, managing competing priorities, and responding effectively to changing operational demands within fast-paced project environments. A strong advocate for health, safety, and continuous improvement, with extensive experience in developing safe systems of work, managing permits, and ensuring compliance with site procedures and industry standards. Recognised for taking ownership of challenges, making sound decisions under pressure, and leading teams to consistently achieve operational objectives.

Having developed a comprehensive understanding of site operations and logistics on one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects, I am now seeking to apply my leadership, coordination, and operational management skills elsewhere, where I can continue to contribute to safe, efficient, and successful project delivery.
