Senior Logistics Operations Manager


Are you experienced in leading logistics operations within complex, highly regulated industries, and how have you managed integration across multiple stakeholders? Are you adept at using logistics technology solutions to optimise operations, and how have you successfully implemented these systems in past roles? Are you passionate about driving continuous improvement in logistics processes, and what strategies have you employed to achieve measurable outcomes?


If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as our next Senior Logistics Operations Manager here at Hinkley Point C!


The Opportunity


As a key leader within the Logistics team, you will play a central role in providing command and control while serving as a hub of excellence for the end-to-end logistics process at HPC. We are the strategic drivers of logistics, acting as an integrated force that ensures the successful delivery of the entire project.


The Senior Logistics Operations Manager, reporting directly to the Head of Logistics, will oversee all off-site logistics operations, with a primary focus on managing service delivery through a 3PL warehousing partner. You will be responsible for triaging inbound material demands from suppliers, overseeing inventory storage, and coordinating outbound logistics from the site. Additionally, you will manage disruptions, address escalations related to logistics performance, and balance the needs and expectations of cross-functional stakeholders.


Pay, benefits and culture


Alongside a salary range of £70,000 - £80,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.


We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.


At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.


Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, 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. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.


We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.


What you will be doing


You will lead teams in maintaining accurate logistics reporting and ensure performance standards and KPIs are met. Responsible for implementing logistics and project controls techniques, you’ll drive the development of systems and reports to support project objectives. You’ll assess and ensure accurate representation of changes within programme budgets, analyse trends to identify risks and opportunities, and champion project governance and standards. Additionally, you’ll ensure sensitive project documents, including nuclear information, are properly marked and protected per EDF policies. Additional roles and responsibilities included
 

  • Drive a results-focused Logistics Operations framework, highlighting risks and interdependencies, aligning top-down and bottom-up reporting from strategic to delivery levels.
  • Enable robust review and challenge of delivery and portfolio-level reporting to assess risks, ensuring timely and accurate information to support strategic delivery.
  • Challenge and refine project delivery strategies, considering interdependencies and interfaces to prioritise decision-making and maintain focus.
  • Champion best practices and behaviours across Logistics Operations, fostering continuous development by capturing and sharing operational insights.
  • Review and ratify information for communication to key stakeholders, ensuring clear visibility of reports from local to executive levels (the ‘Golden Thread’).
  • Analyse and synthesise information to identify key risks and make evidence-based decisions, driving logistics strategy with a systematic, clear approach under pressure.
  • Ensure direct reports adhere to project governance, logistics standards, processes, and business rules.
  • Oversee the delivery of logistics operational capacity per the Logistics Capacity Plan, addressing warehouse constraints and adjusting plans to accommodate risks.
     

Who you are


With a strong delivery-focused mindset, you excel at influencing stakeholders and leading teams. You have deep expertise in logistics management, including NEC and FIDIC contract types, and a solid understanding of risk analysis, change management, and cost management techniques. Your strong analytical and numerical skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate effectively at all levels ensure informed decision-making and project success. You build strong internal and external relationships and produce accurate logistics reports that guide strategic direction. Your organisational, time management, and problem-solving abilities contribute to effective project delivery and risk mitigation. Additional requirements for this role include:

 

  • Expertise in warehouse and logistics operations, offering valuable insights into operational needs; parallel experience in manufacturing or related industries will also be considered.
  • Extensive experience in planning and operations, particularly for major capital projects in construction or other relevant sectors.
  • Proven ability to deliver accurate, concise logistics operations insights, using both commercial and technical data to influence decisions and support logistics management.

  • Collaborative team player, able to work effectively across organisational boundaries to drive successful outcomes.

Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together

 

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.
