Ready to lead leaders and help deliver one of the UK's most significant nuclear engineering programmes?


Do you enjoy bringing people, plans and technical expertise together to achieve complex outcomes? At EDF, Success is Personal. As a Systems Design Manager, you'll play a key role in helping high-performing engineering teams deliver work that makes a lasting impact.


The Opportunity


As a Systems Design Manager, you'll lead a portfolio of systems engineering activities supporting the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project. You'll connect project goals with engineering delivery, leading group leaders and their teams to help make sure key milestones, budgets and technical commitments are delivered safely and successfully.


You’ll join us on a salary starting of £85,000 per annum. This is a hybrid role based from our #Bristol office at Aztec West, with flexibility to work from home alongside spending two days per week on site, moving to three days per week in the future. Occasional travel to France may be required to support project collaboration and delivery.


This is a leadership opportunity with real influence. You'll help shape delivery schedules, support the development of engineering leaders and drive performance across key project milestones.


Working across systems, process, chemical and I&C engineering disciplines, you'll help deliver one of the UK's most important infrastructure projects and support EDF's journey towards An Electric Britain.


Who You Are


We're looking for a Systems Design Manager with strong engineering knowledge and proven leadership experience. You'll be comfortable leading leaders, managing complex engineering programmes and working across multiple technical interfaces in a large-scale nuclear environment.


To be shortlisted, you'll need:


An engineering degree or equivalent qualification
Proven experience in systems engineering or relevant experience on an EPR project
Experience leading engineering managers, group leaders or multidisciplinary engineering teams
Significant experience within the nuclear industry
Experience managing project delivery, schedules, budgets and resources across complex engineering programmes
Knowledge of EPR system design, I&C systems and nuclear safety requirements
Experience managing technical, contractual and cross-functional project interfaces
A track record of delivering against deadlines, KPIs and programme milestones
To be appointed to this role, you'll need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will ordinarily require you to have been a UK resident for at least three of the past five years.


What You'll Be Doing


Leading group leaders and engineering teams to deliver systems engineering activities across the Hinkley Point C programme
Building and managing delivery schedules to achieve key milestones and project objectives
Managing budgets, resource planning, forecasting and workload allocation across your area of responsibility
Providing technical leadership across systems, process, chemical and I&C engineering disciplines while managing project risks and interfaces
Driving team performance, stakeholder engagement and continuous improvement across engineering delivery
Supporting and developing engineering leaders to help teams perform at their best
 

Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a salary starting from £85,000 per annum, you'll have the potential to earn an annual bonus and benefit from a market-leading pension scheme.


You'll also have access to a range of flexible benefits, including:


Electric vehicle leasing
Discounted gym membership
Life assurance
Tech vouchers
Experience days
And much more
At EDF, we believe there are many different ways to succeed. That's why we'll give you the support, opportunities and flexibility to build a career that's right for you. Here, Success is Personal – it's your journey, powered by us.

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.
