The Opportunity
As a Technical Lead Engineer – Materials and Coatings, you’ll play a vital role in supporting the construction and delivery of Hinkley Point C. Your work will help drive technical excellence across materials, coatings and corrosion challenges, supporting our transition towards An Electric Britain.

You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of engineering disciplines, working closely with subject‑matter experts while developing your own specialist knowledge. You’ll contribute to meaningful engineering solutions and build experience across coating systems, material selection, testing and corrosion principles – all while developing your technical career with support from industry leaders.

Experience of onsite engineering
Degree (or equivalent) in Material Engineering
Experience of authoring technical documentation
Practical experience of material characterisation and testing
Evidence of supporting sustainable material selection
Proven ability to digest technical coating documentation and advise on the impact of changes
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
Supporting the resolution of complex technical challenges in materials and coatings
Reviewing and advising on corrosion modelling, material choices and coating specifications
Preparing technical assessments, justification papers and engineering documentation
Collaborating with construction teams to resolve cross‑discipline queries
Ensuring technical decisions align with safety, quality and regulatory requirements
Pay, Benefits and Culture
Alongside a starting salary of £64,232 per annum, 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.
