  • Preparing or reviewing Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) and Site Waste Management Plans (WMPs).
  • Embedding sustainability principles into project delivery, including resource efficiency, carbon reduction, biodiversity enhancement, and climate resilience.

 

What you'll need

  • Strong working knowledge of environmental regulation, planning processes, EIA, and sustainability assessment frameworks.
  • Experience influencing sustainable design within construction or infrastructure projects.
  • Excellent report writing, presentation, and communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex environmental issues.
  • Experience coordinating multi‑disciplinary work involving a range of environmental and sustainability specialisms (e.g., water management,  ecology, waste, carbon emissions, COSHH).
  • Experience working with planning authorities, regulators, and stakeholders.
  • Understanding of construction environmental control methods, pollution prevention, and environmental risk management.
  • Experience in sectors such as water, energy, rail, or highways is welcome.Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise work across multiple projects.
  • A relevant environmental or sustainability degree, with membership (or working toward membership) of an appropriate professional body.
  • Good IT skills.
  • A full UK driving licence (and access to a vehicle for work).
 
It is desirable that you also have:
  • An understanding of water and wastewater treatment processes.
  • Basic GIS capability.
  • Awareness of environmental management systems such as ISO 14001.
  • Experience applying carbon accounting, biodiversity net gain, or circular economy principles.

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.
