Are you energised by a dynamic, fast-paced environment where each day brings fresh challenges and opportunities to thrive?
Opportunity…
You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the development of our Nuclear Safety Team in Pre-Operations. In this key position, you will ensure that all necessary procedures, systems, and capabilities are in place to achieve operational readiness. This is an opportunity to lead with impact, drive excellence, and contribute to one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the UK.
Pay, benefits and culture…
Alongside a competitive salary starting from £76,205, depending on experience, we offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle, and the opportunity to earn bonus.
At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.
We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need.
We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.
What you’ll be doing
You will drive the development of a comprehensive programme of work that ensures the Nuclear Safety Department within Pre-Operations is fully equipped to meet the key milestones of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project. You will be leading the project to define the role of a Nuclear Safety Engineer, working closely with experts from Nuclear Generation, the HPC project, and international counterparts to establish an optimal framework for HPC and Sizewell C (SZC). You will develop and manage the team, and be responsible for delivering the documentation, arrangements and tools necessary for the department to function effectively in the operational power station.
You will collaborate with other teams to foster a robust nuclear safety culture and ensure readiness for fuel delivery. You will be contributing to the development of operational technical specifications, ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance.
Who you are
We are seeking a candidate with a degree (or equivalent) in a science or engineering field, ideally physics or mathematics, along with experience in developing safety cases and producing or modifying technical specifications. A solid understanding of Nuclear Site Licence Conditions and nuclear power operations is essential.
Additional desirable experience includes working with nuclear regulators, expertise in nuclear safety for light water reactors, knowledge of nuclear safeguards requirements on UK licensed sites and a track record of contributing within a project-based environment.
If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
