Configuration Identification Support

Job Category:  Construction
Contract Partner Company:  Mactech Engineering & Inspection
Employing Company:  EDF HPC

The HPC Jobs Service supports local people into exciting, long-term careers across our Project.

Opportunity for a Configuration Identification Support working with Mactech on the Hinkley Point C Project,


Principal Roles & Accountabilities


The post holder will need to:


• Have the ability to work as part of our internal and external configuration management team and understand the needs from the other planning engineers.
• Have tenacity in progressing work and seeking inputs from a wide range of stakeholders
• Be able to organise and drive meetings, discussions and resolutions with other, more senior people, to generate outcomes that can be implemented into the HPC Systems and tools
• The ability to hold people accountable for delivery of committed deliverables to a previously agreed timescale.
• The ability to communicate effectively and build and maintain strong working relationships


The post holder will be based in Aztec West Office but will potentially need to make visits to offices in Bridgewater and occasionally to HPC Site. A degree of hybrid working can be considered after an initial training/development period.


More detailed activities:


IMS Process Support:


• HPC has a series of processes within the Quality Management System which require management and maintenance as the Project arrangements develop. These processes are owned by others but their update requires significant effort in organising discussions and resolution meetings with a wide network of stakeholders. Once agreement has been raised on the updates then there are guidance notes to be prepared and implementation processes to be managed. This is expected to be a key work area for this post holder.


Configuration Management Training/Communications:


• There are a series of e-learning packages to be reviewed and maintained for the Project and, similar to the IMS Process, this needs agreement and buy-in first from stakeholders and then formal deployment into the systems. This will be an ongoing process as the Project heads into the Commissioning Phase
• There will be a Sharepoint site to support the Communication of Configuration Management


Competence Management Support:


• HPC has specific Competence Management arrangements in place and their maintenance and update is within the planning team scope. Update of training profiles and assignment to specific roles will need dedicated support and this person would be expected to supervise and control this - again with input from various stakeholders in the Plant Configuration Team and others in the Project.


In addition, the post-holder may be required to perform other tasks relevant for the project or to the personal development of the post holder.


This position could suit an experienced and proactive Technical Author with the ability to understand the key elements of Configuration Management and be able to convert them into the elements of the Project identified above. It could also suit a recent graduate who is seeking a very broad view of an engineering organisation.


Whilst this is a contract position, it is not suitable for a short-term placement. The right person would be expected to be in place for at least two years with other opportunities for follow-on work dependent on success and needs of the Project.


Knowledge & Skills


• Sound administrative skills, with experience of implementing and maintaining administrative systems.
• Interpersonal skills, with the ability to liaise with the team internally and externally.
• Strong organisational skills to ensure effective planning and tracking of activities and actions.
• Strong IT skills including proficiency in Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
• Confident and effective communication skills, including verbal, listening and written to provide regular reports and governance support.
• Sound administrative skills, with experience of implementing and maintaining administrative systems.
• A positive, "can do" attitude and flexible approach
• Excellent attention to detail with a high level of accuracy.
• Motivated to work alone and in a team.
• Ability to work with others including establishing meetings with relevant agendas followed by notes/minutes summarising key points.

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.
