Electrical Technical Lead


Aztec West, Bristol - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.


Are you a qualified Electrical Engineer? Do you have experience with Power transmission projects and components? Are you looking to develop your expertise and build experience in the challenging environment of nuclear new build?


The Opportunity


EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is tasked with delivering the design for several nuclear island (NI) buildings, systems, and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project. This involves working through an integrated team, supporting HPC construction and commissioning efforts, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. As a result, a Technical Directorate is being established to oversee the engineering disciplines and technical expertise needed to successfully deliver these projects through EPR-E’s integrated teams.


As the Electrical Technical Lead, you will support the Power Transmission Engineering delivery managers and handle engineering activities for other buildings within the CI-BOP perimeter. Your responsibilities include coordinating design activities, managing technical interfaces, ensuring design consistency, overseeing technical progress, and engaging with stakeholders, while also updating system documentation and supporting contract-related tasks. For HPC projects, you'll also need to liaise regularly with the JDO team, potentially requiring regular visits to their office.


Pay, benefits and culture


Alongside a starting salary from £58,000 to £64,000,  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’ll be doing

 

  • You’ll support the Power Transmission Engineering delivery managers, handle engineering tasks for CI-BOP buildings and assist the Building Manager with electrical interface studies to ensure a coordinated and integrated design.
  • You’ll contribute to client quotation requests by identifying required resources and estimating workloads.
  • Additionally, you’ll analyse and verify technical input data, manage technical interfaces, address change requests ensuring design completeness and consistency using a 3D model.
  • You’ll produce high-quality design deliverables, conduct technical verifications, and lead progress meetings.
  • You’ll also write and update system documentation, including design manuals and safety classifications, identify periodical testing, and produce technical documentation for tendering phases while supporting contract organization and resolving technical issues.


Who you are

 

  • Being an Electrical Technical Lead at EDF means having a degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering and substantial experience with Power Transmission projects and components.
  • You should have a proven track record in producing high-quality design documentation and managing workloads to meet deadlines effectively.
  • We value proactive individuals who confidently engage with others, including remote teams, and are dedicated to building positive working relationships and enhancing the quality of engineering studies and documentation.
  • Relevant experience in the nuclear industry, especially with EPR electrical distribution design, Instrumentation and Control architecture, and Safety Classification is desirable. Proficiency in French, both spoken and written, would be beneficial.


If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!


Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.

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.
