Senior Project Manager


Location: Site- based at Hinkley Point C (minimum 3 days per week on site)

 
Ready to lead the delivery of some of the most complex mechanical and electrical installation activities in the UK? Keen to shape the success of major nuclear infrastructure while directing teams working at the forefront of engineering excellence? At EDF, Success is Personal — and in this role, your expertise powers progress that truly matters.


The Opportunity


As a Senior Project Manager for the Conventional Island at Hinkley Point C, you’ll guide the delivery of installation activities for the world’s largest steam turbines and supporting electro‑mechanical infrastructure. Your leadership will play a key role in driving the performance of a major Tier 1 contractor and multiple Tier 2 suppliers — ensuring safe, high‑quality, on‑time delivery that supports EDF’s broader transition towards An Electric Britain.


Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role is based on site at HPC, near Bridgwater. You’ll work predominantly on site, collaborating closely with construction, engineering, and delivery teams as part of a highly complex mega‑project environment.


Across planning, strategy, stakeholder engagement, and risk management, you’ll be empowered to deepen your expertise in large-scale project delivery while shaping the direction of a nationally significant programme. From compliance and nuclear‑quality assurance to earned value management and leadership development, this role offers unrivalled learning as you support the journey towards An Electric Britain.


Who You Are


We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager experienced in delivering technically complex projects within highly regulated environments, and who thrives on accountability, leadership, and collaboration. Are you experienced in…


Delivering multi‑discipline engineering or EPCM projects within complex, high‑hazard or regulated industries
Managing contractors and large-scale construction contracts, including NEC or FIDIC
Applying project controls, including cost, schedule, risk, change control, and Earned Value Management
Overseeing installation or commissioning activities for turbine systems and related rotating equipment
Navigating nuclear‑quality requirements, CDM regulations, and full project lifecycle delivery
 

What You’ll Be Doing


Leading the delivery of mechanical and electrical installation activities for Conventional Island contracts
Managing Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors, ensuring safe, high‑quality, and efficient execution
Developing and maintaining aligned project schedules (Levels 3–4) and delivery plans
Identifying risks, issues, and interface challenges while driving mitigation and resolution
Reporting progress, controlling budgets, and ensuring compliance with all project and nuclear‑safety requirements
 

Pay, Benefits and Culture


Alongside a competitive salary, potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.


At EDF, we believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we offer you the freedom to develop a career that’s unique to you. Here, Success is Personal – it’s your journey, powered by us.


Everyone is welcome at EDF; we’re committed to building a workforce that reflects gender balance, social mobility, and inclusion of minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, and those with disabilities. As a Disability Confident employer, we will support applicants requiring adjustments.

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.
