That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.


What you’ll be doing


As a Junior Civil Engineer within Nuclear Services, you will be responsible for and involved in:


Supporting the review and acceptance of nuclear-classified structural designs.
Assisting in the release of design packages for construction.
Ensuring compliance with regulatory and technical standards.
Participating in outage activities and investment delivery projects.
Building relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders, including regulators.
Overall, you’ll be at the forefront of civil design and construction for Hinkley Point C, contribute to the ramp-up of Sizewell C, and support life extension projects for our existing nuclear fleet. Your work will directly impact and contribute to Britain’s journey to #CarbonNetZero.


This is a role where your expertise will shape the future of nuclear energy, offering both challenge and reward in equal measure.


Who you are


You will hold a degree in Civil or Structural Engineering and bring experience as a Civil/Structural Engineer, ideally working towards Chartership status. You’re skilled in designing or reviewing reinforced concrete and steelwork structures, working to Eurocodes or other recognised standards.


You’re confident leading integrated technical solutions, governance, and stakeholder engagement. Your analytical mindset, attention to detail, and ability to work independently set you apart. Above all, your communication and interpersonal skills enable you to thrive in a collaborative, innovative environment.


If you’re ready to progress your Civil Engineering career and want to be part of a team shaping the future of nuclear energy in the UK, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
