Commissioning Engineer - Technical


Ready to see your engineering expertise bring a new power station to life? Join EDF at Hinkley Point C and play a vital role in delivering one of the UK’s most complex commissioning programmes. Here, your impact matters because Success is Personal.


The Opportunity


As a Commissioning Engineer, you’ll play a key role in delivering safe, efficient electrical commissioning activities at Hinkley Point C (HPC). You’ll resolve technical challenges, support testing, and help ensure readiness for operations as part of our journey towards An Electric Britain.


Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role is based on site at our Hinkley Point C project in Bridgwater. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams, contributing to daily commissioning progress on one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects.


You’ll support complex technical decisions, from reviewing commissioning test results to producing phase reports. This is a unique opportunity to build expertise in electrical commissioning within a highly regulated environment, while contributing to nationally significant infrastructure.


Who You Are


We’re looking for a Commissioning Engineer with an electrical bias who can deliver technical analysis, resolve commissioning issues, and support regulated plant activities. Are you experienced in…?


Delivering electrical engineering support across commissioning activities within a regulated industry such as nuclear, energy, utilities or complex infrastructure environments
Applying UK electrical legislation and regulatory frameworks, including CDM requirements
Supporting plant-based commissioning activities, including triage, troubleshooting, and resolving technical queries on site
Producing technical documentation including analysis reports and end-of-commissioning reports
Reviewing, verifying and validating commissioning test results, identifying non-conformances and recommending solutions
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will ordinarily require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.


What You’ll Be Doing


Providing technical support to commissioning teams to resolve open points and remove blockers
Acting as an interface with engineering teams to address complex technical issues
Reviewing, verifying and accepting commissioning test results in line with procedures
Analysing non-conforming results and recommending corrective actions
Producing commissioning phase reports to support progression to the next stage


Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a competitive salary and 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.
