  • You'll support the development of inspections critical to the project’s Safety Case, as well as manage Inspection Qualification activities for Pre-Service and In-Service Inspections (PSI and ISI).
  • Your role involves coordinating PSI and ISI implementations at both site and vendor locations, reviewing and approving NDT activities across manufacturing, construction, and operational stages, and acting as the Intelligent Customer for the Licensee.
  • Additionally, you’ll provide technical support for procurement strategies that impact the construction phase, contribute to project decision-making, assist in root cause analysis for inspection non-conformances, and embody the core values of the HPC project, fostering their adoption among team members and partners.

  • Proven experience of In-Service Inspection in a relevant industry.
  • Hold PCN ISO 9712 or equivalent certification Level 2 or 3 in a variety of NDT techniques.

For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

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.
