Emergency Preparedness Officer


Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater
 

Do you want your work to genuinely protect people, projects, and progress? Are you motivated by being prepared for the moments that matter most? At EDF, you’ll play a critical role on one of Europe’s largest and most complex construction projects, helping ensure the safety and resilience of everyone on site. This is a role with real responsibility, real impact – because at EDF, “Success is Personal”.

 
The Opportunity


As an Emergency Preparedness Officer at Hinkley Point C, you’ll play an essential part in maintaining and improving emergency arrangements across the site. Reporting to the Emergency Preparedness Lead, you’ll help ensure plans, processes, facilities, and exercises are robust, practical, and ready when needed, supporting EDF’s journey towards An Electric Britain.


Alongside a competitive salary starting from £56,000 and potential for an annual bonus, this role is fully site based at #HinkleyPointC in Bridgwater, Somerset. You’ll be working on site five days per week, collaborating closely with EDF colleagues, contractors, and external emergency responders in a highly operational environment.


This is a role where autonomy, sound judgement, and attention to detail really matter. You’ll build strong relationships across the project, develop your experience within a major regulated construction environment, and contribute directly to protecting people, infrastructure, and operations on one of the UK’s most significant energy projects.


Who You Are


We’re looking for an Emergency Preparedness Officer who’s organised, confident working independently, and comfortable engaging with a wide range of stakeholders. To be shortlisted, you need to offer…


Experience creating, reviewing, and managing formal documentation, plans, and records
Experience conducting and documenting risk assessments
Experience organising and managing small projects or initiatives
Strong ICT skills, including confident use of Microsoft Word and Excel
Experience working in construction, health and safety, or similarly regulated environments
The ability to manage priorities and workload effectively with minimal supervision
 

What You’ll Be Doing


Creating, reviewing, and maintaining emergency documentation, maps, and response plans
Supporting the planning, delivery, and documentation of emergency exercises
Conducting contractor LC11 inspections and working closely with contractor emergency leads
Maintaining emergency facilities, equipment, resources, and training records
Collating and managing emergency preparedness data, statistics, and reports
 

Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a competitive salary starting from £56,000, 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’s more than one way to define success. That’s why we give you the freedom to shape 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.
