Intellectual Property Project Manager


Location: Astec West, Bristol (hybrid)


Ready to shape the way vital engineering knowledge is captured, protected, and shared across some of the UK’s most significant nuclear infrastructure programmes? Step into a role where your expertise in governance, contracts, and structured project delivery helps safeguard the technical backbone of major projects. At EDF, Success is Personal – and your journey is yours to shape.


The Opportunity


As an Intellectual Property (IP) Project Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in supporting the transition towards An Electric Britain by ensuring that critical design information, engineering knowledge, and project insights are managed with clarity, rigour, and consistency. Your work will directly strengthen the foundations of the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C programmes, enabling the seamless replication of world‑class nuclear island design across multiple new build projects.


EDF EPR Engineering UK delivers the design for nuclear island buildings, systems, and equipment for Hinkley Point C (HPC) and Sizewell C (SZC). Working as part of an integrated team, EPR Engineering supports construction and commissioning while preparing design‑replication feasibility and related engineering activities.


Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this hybrid role is based at #AztecWest in #Bristol, offering flexibility while ensuring strong collaboration with colleagues. You’ll typically spend at least part of your week on site with teams, contributing to a dynamic, well‑connected working environment.


Within this role, you’ll broaden your technical and commercial capability while shaping how IP governance and frameworks evolve across two of the UK’s largest infrastructure programmes. You’ll collaborate with contract managers, engineering leads, legal experts, and senior stakeholders, influencing major project outcomes and contributing to the continuity and future replication of nuclear island design as the UK continues its journey towards An Electric Britain.


Who You Are


We’re looking for an Intellectual Property (IP) Project Manager with strong project management and contract governance experience, capable of navigating complex engineering environments with confidence and rigour. Do you offer…


• Degree or equivalent in a related field
• Experience in a PMO or contract management role
• Demonstrable experience in contract analysis and contract management
• Proven experience supporting large‑scale engineering or infrastructure projects (e.g., nuclear, rail, energy, or major civil works)


What You’ll Be Doing


• Ensuring consistent application of IP policies, frameworks, governance rules, and project processes
• Acting as the primary IP interface across the HPC and SZC programmes, ensuring shared learning and alignment
• Supporting the development, improvement, and operational delivery of IP frameworks across major projects
• Maintaining and tracking central records of IP topics and ensuring timely progression with topic owners
• Developing IP training materials and supporting organisation‑wide capability building


Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a starting salary of £55,000–£65,000 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.


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.
