Piping Engineer


Are you experienced in the design and analysis of piping systems within complex engineering projects? Are you skilled in resolving potential issues related to piping layout and design? Are you familiar with industry standards and regulations governing piping design and installation?


If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as our next Piping Engineer here at Hinkley Point C!


The Opportunity


As our next Piping Engineer, you'll take on the pivotal role in answering and responding design modifications raised by site contractors, ensuring they align with the designer's justifications. You'll play an essential role in bridging the gap between construction contractors and designers, ensuring seamless collaboration. Within NNB's Technical Directorate you'll thrive in a vibrant and inclusive workplace, working closely with the Construction Team on-site every day.


Pay, benefits and culture


In addition to a salary range of £52,500 - £60,000 depending on experience, we offer flexible benefits that support our employees’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing. Examples include: a market-leading company pension scheme, a bonus plan, health cover, electric vehicle leasing, mental health support and employee discounts.


At EDF, everyone is welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We would 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 are a disability confident employer and will do all we can to support you through your recruitment journey with us.  If you would like to talk about adjustments, or support you may need, please note this within your application.


We will value the difference you bring and give you opportunities to thrive and succeed.


What you will be doing…


In this crucial role, you’ll offer support when an issue arises on site with construction and installation and be part of a team who takes action to address them promptly. This role involves answering and resolving queries for non-conformance, design changes, and exemption requests, which require categorisation based on their nuclear and environmental impact. You will critically assess the feasibility of challenging design decisions to ensure they align with project strategies, collaborating closely with the technical team to find effective solutions.

 

Other roles and responsibilities in the role include:

 

  • Ensure compliance with Nuclear Safety and Environmental Regulation requirements through thorough oversight.
  • Advocate for design decisions that align with the project's strategic objectives.
  • Coordinate with external organisations to provide necessary support.
  • Contribute to resolving and closing Open Points effectively.
  • Evaluate technical risks and implement mitigation strategies accordingly.
  • Foster strong relationships with EDF EPR Engineering (Responsible Designer) and EDF Nuclear Services
  • Report directly to an Engineering Lead on operational matters.
     

Who you are…


Although a degree in a relevant subject matter would be advantageous, it is not essential. With this said, we are looking for you to hold the following skills and experiences to complete this role:

 

  • Proficient in piping and support design, installation, and commissioning.
  • Demonstrated application of multidisciplinary technical expertise in the nuclear industry.
  • Familiarity with the construction and installation sector.
  • Understanding of Health & Safety legislation, including CDM and Nuclear Site License requirements.
  • Experienced in welding engineering principles.
  • Skilled in influencing diverse stakeholders, especially in a site environment.
  • Capable of working autonomously, taking proactive measures, and reporting or escalating pertinent issues.
     

Join us and together we can help Britain achieve Net Zero.

 

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.

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.
