Site Safety Case Lead


Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater – with flexibility of working from home, minimum of 2 / 3 days in office.


Are you a passionate Site Safety Case Lead ready to embark on the next stage of your career? Experienced in leading nuclear safety case development with excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills? Are you the type of person who likes a fast-paced environment where every day presents new challenges and opportunities to excel?


Opportunity…

 
As the Site Safety Case Lead, you will play a key role in developing and delivering safety cases for design modifications on the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project, with a focus on addressing emerging design issues on-site. In this role, you will lead the safety justifications for design modifications and contribute to the growth of nuclear safety case capabilities within the Joint Design Office (JDO).
 

As an integral part of the Technical Authority team, you will act as an extension of the HPC Design Authority on-site. You will manage the safety case and drive solutions to complex challenges across multiple project areas, reporting directly to the Technical Authority Manager.


Pay, benefits and culture…


Alongside a starting salary from £70,000, depending on experience, 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’ll be doing…


You will be responsible for leading and delivering nuclear safety case justifications for emergent transverse issues and design changes at the HPC site. These topics could be across a range of disciplines, including Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC, and Civil engineering. While current site activities are mainly focused on Civil engineering, the project is transitioning towards Mechanical, Electrical, and HVAC concerns, with growing safety case implications as it progresses.


Who you are…

 

  • Being a Site Safety Case Lead at HPC means possessing strong communication and presentation skills, enabling you to effectively engage with a variety of stakeholders across the wider business. You’ll demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning and development.  
  • You’ll thrive in high-profile, dynamic, and time-critical projects, with a keen ability to identify and resolve key issues while maintaining a strong technical stance in challenging environments. You’ll have the capability to understand a broad range of technical analyses, lead pragmatic solutions, challenge existing strategies, and translate technical knowledge into clear, concise, and coherent information.
  • Have working knowledge and experience in leading and managing nuclear safety case development, ideally with familiarity with the HPC Safety Case and UK EPR Design. Practitioner knowledge of ALARP principles and their application is also beneficial.


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


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

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.
