Pressure Compliance Team Leader


Ready to lead engineering excellence at one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects? Want to shape the future of nuclear energy and help Britain achieve net zero? At EDF, Success is Personal – and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.


The Opportunity


As the IIA Pressure Compliance Team Leader at Hinkley Point C, you’ll take a central role in one of the world’s largest power generation projects—and the first new nuclear station built in the UK in a generation. You’ll lead a specialist team within the Internal Inspection Agency, delivering independent assurance and ensuring pressure systems meet the highest standards of structural integrity, conformity assessment and safety.


This is a hybrid role based at #AztecWest, with flexibility to work from home, though you’ll be expected on site at least three days a week.


This is your opportunity to contribute directly to a project that’s helping Britain achieve net zero. You’ll shape surveillance plans, oversee conformity assessment across design, fabrication and installation, and work closely with designers, contract partners and wider HPC teams to ensure compliance with UK Pressure Regulations and the HPC Safety Case. Your technical insight and organisational skill will help keep the project on track—delivering quality, maintaining schedule and controlling cost.


Who You Are


We’re looking for a Pressure Compliance Team Leader who’s technically strong, collaborative and delivery‑focused. 


Do you offer…


Expertise in structural integrity and pressure‑systems compliance, including equipment designed to RCC‑M or ASME codes.
Hands‑on experience with pressure‑equipment manufacture, installation, conformity assessment and working with regulators and supply chain partners.
The ability to influence stakeholders across a matrix organisation and work effectively in multi‑cultural project environments.
Clear, confident communication skills and the judgement to recognise technical limits and involve specialists when needed.
A degree in Engineering or Science, with experience in large, highly regulated sectors such as nuclear, power generation or oil & gas.
Chartered status (or working towards it), plus knowledge of UK regulatory requirements and the nuclear industry as an advantage.


What You’ll Be Doing


Leading the IIA pressure‑compliance function for your scope, ensuring pressure equipment and systems meet all applicable conformity requirements.
Managing and developing a team of Pressure Compliance Leads, Surveyors and SMEs, assigning responsibilities and overseeing delivery,
Preparing and steering surveillance plans, reviewing design, fabrication and installation documentation, and driving resolution of open points.
Reporting progress through KPIs, supporting governance processes and contributing to hold‑point lifts for pressure systems.
Working directly with Contract Partners and HPC teams to plan upcoming work, resolve issues and maintain clear stakeholder communication.
Promoting a learning culture by capturing lessons learned and recommending improvements for future activities.


Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a salary from £82,000, 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.
