The contractor will provide a series of modular building office spaces totalling 38,000 sq m to house all the management and technical personnel required during the construction stage of the project.
Almost 1,000 steel framed modules are being built off site at Premier's manufacturing facility in East Yorkshire, before being transported to the Hinkley Point C site for the 16-month final assembly and fitting out process.

In addition, the buildings will be converted after the construction phase to remain as office space on the site.
David Harris, Divisional Director at Premier, said: "This project is one of the most significant modular projects in history and will really put modular construction on the map. We foresee that this project is not only important for Premier but will also be of significant benefit to the local economies in Yorkshire and Somerset in terms of both sub-contractor and supplier opportunities required to support this major construction project.
"Premier will resource this project with the full scope of skills required to deliver the scheme to the excellent standard and quality of product that we and EDF Energy expect and we anticipate taking on a number of apprentices throughout the delivery of the scheme."
