If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as our next Project Engineer here at Hinkley Point C!


The Opportunity


As our next Project Engineer, your role will transform throughout the project lifecycle, blending technical expertise and quality assurance knowledge with essential project delivery skills. In the early stages, you’ll play a crucial role in preparing the DMIC (Design, Mechanical, Installation & Controls) Contract list and defining NNB’s requirements. As the project progresses, you will ensure that contractor arrangements align with NNB’s expectations, oversee the fulfilment of all DMIC Commissioning prerequisites, and prepare the NNB Commissioning Team for effective surveillance of DMIC Contract Commissioning. Your contributions will be vital in ensuring the project's success and adherence to the highest standards.


Pay, benefits and culture


Alongside a salary between £55,000 - £60,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.


We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.


At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.


Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.  


We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.


We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.


What you will be doing


As the DMIC Project Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that supply chain partners deliver their commissioning work and documentation in alignment with contract and project requirements at every stage. Collaborating closely with internal stakeholders, you will build strong, collaborative relationships with contractors, HPC project managers, quality leads, site engineering teams, and plant operations. Your ability to foster these connections will be essential in defining and controlling the interfaces within the commissioning process, ultimately driving the project toward success. Additional responsibilities for this role include:

 

  • Report directly to a Commissioning Manager within the NNB Commissioning Cross Functional Delivery Team.
  • Gather and maintain an organised list of DMIC Contracts along with their specific contractual requirements.
  • Serve as the key liaison between the Commissioning Delivery Team and Project Managers, ensuring seamless engagement and communication.

Why Join Us?

For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fuelled with massive amounts of home-grown energy.

Our teams up and down the country are proudly continuing to serve the nation – but they also have an eye on the future.

EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk.

Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education.

We’re not just building new nuclear power stations. We’re developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skills areas.

It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and although we have thousands of them there’s always a need for more.

Our industry has a mind-boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it’s also an industry which is changing.

We’re a responsible business and proud to be Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. With size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more.
