The Opportunity

 

As a Senior Project Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in supporting the Commissioning Temporary Projects Manager in managing the development and delivery of temporary commissioning projects. Embrace a dynamic mix of office and site-based work as you ensure projects are executed safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Alongside a starting salary from £62,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

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’ll be doing

 

  • You'll lead the timely and quality delivery of specific assigned activities and projects, working closely with the project manager, overseeing contracts and detailed schedules.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to achieve shared project goals, defining the scope of work within your assigned contract or package and identifying interfaces with other program elements. Additionally, manage the delivery of small projects and tasks, ensuring they are completed safely and efficiently, while maintaining key project documentation to ensure clarity and alignment throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Develop and implement execution strategies aligned with the overall program execution plan (PEP), providing clear direction on managing and organising the work. Maintain open communication with stakeholders. Monitor progress, track milestones, and provide comprehensive progress reports to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the project.
  • Your leadership will be pivotal in guiding diverse project team members, identifying key resources, and ensuring clear communication of roles and responsibilities.

 

Who you are

 

  • Being a Senior Project Engineer at EDF means, having a strong background in project management or engineering, particularly within complex projects. While a degree in a relevant technical field is essential, your hands-on experience in applying project management processes, organising work to meet schedules, and communicating effectively with diverse teams is what we value most.
  • Experience in procurement and the tendering process is preferred. You should have a proven track record in managing negotiations with suppliers and comfortable working with a commercial multidisciplinary team. A solid understanding of Health & Safety legislation, including Construction Design Management and the Health and Safety at Work Act, is crucial.
  • We value someone proficient in budget monitoring, commercially aware, and capable of managing contractors effectively. Your understanding of Quality Assurance within the project environment and your ability to adhere to governance frameworks will be key. Proficiency in preparing reports and using software like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is also important.


If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!

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.
