TAG Engineer


Job description


Ready to use your engineering expertise to help Britain achieve net zero? Want to play a key role in shaping the future of nuclear energy at Hinkley Point C? At EDF, Success is Personal – and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.


The Opportunity


As an Electrical TAG Engineer, you’ll join our Maintenance Technical Advice Group at Hinkley Point C, supporting the plant through its early lifecycle stages of construction and commissioning. Your technical advice will help ensure systems meet operational requirements and support decision-making across the organisation.


This is a grade B role and the salary is from £54,280 per annum. This role is based at #Hinkley Point C with some travel to local offices. You’ll work on site, collaborating with commissioning teams, designers, and suppliers to ensure plant readiness and compliance.


From troubleshooting plant issues to managing maintenance delivery and supporting surveillance activities, you’ll gain exposure to diverse systems and processes. We’ll support your growth with opportunities to learn, develop, and make a real impact on Britain’s energy future.


Who You Are


We’re looking for an Electrical TAG Engineer who thrives on problem-solving and teamwork. Are you experienced in…


Providing engineering oversight and technical advice for plant repairs
Applying electrical engineering knowledge in industrial environments
Working within highly regulated requirements and safety standards
Delivering effective solutions to breakdown defects and maintenance issues
Holding an engineering qualification at HNC level or equivalent
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.


What You’ll Be Doing


Provide technical support and advice to maintenance teams
Troubleshoot plant issues and implement corrective actions
Ensure compliance with site licence requirements and safety rules
Support commissioning and acceptance of systems into maintenance
Promote learning through proactive use of operating experience (OPEX)


Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a starting salary of £54,280, potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.


At EDF, we believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we offer you the freedom to develop a career that’s unique to you. Here, Success is Personal – it’s your journey, powered by us.


Everyone is welcome at EDF; we’re committed to building a workforce that reflects gender balance, social mobility, and inclusion of minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, and those with disabilities. As a Disability Confident employer, we will support applicants requiring adjustments.

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.
