Technical Lead Engineer (Electrical)
Job description
Ready to shape engineering outcomes that help deliver one of the UK’s most significant energy projects? Join us in a role where your decisions influence safety, progress and delivery. At EDF, Success is Personal – your journey matters as much as the work you do.
The Opportunity
As a Technical Lead Engineer, you’ll play a key role in strengthening engineering delivery at Hinkley Point C. This role is deeply electrical in nature, giving you responsibility for resolving cross‑discipline design issues that directly shape the integrity and reliability of electrical systems across the project on its transition towards An Electric Britain.
You’ll join us on a salary starting from £54,280 per annum, working at #Hinkley Point C four days a week. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across construction, design and engineering to maintain momentum on one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure programmes.
You’ll grow your expertise across a wide range of electrical engineering challenges while shaping high‑integrity outcomes. From leading nuclear safety category changes to addressing intricate electrical design questions, your work will help drive improvements and build confidence across the wider technical community supporting An Electric Britain.
Who You Are
We’re looking for a Technical Lead Engineer – Electrical who brings clarity, collaboration and sound engineering judgement to complex situations. To be shortlisted, you need to offer…
- Degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering
- Demonstrable evidence of problem solving and stakeholder management
- Understanding of civil and mechanical interfaces
- Strong communication skills in English
- Experience of onsite engineering
- Experience of authoring technical documentation
- Experience of design, installation and modification of electrical engineering systems, services, equipment and components from VHV distribution to EMC and low‑voltage instrumentation
- Working knowledge of relevant British and European standards, including strong command of BS 7671 (18th Edition)
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Providing oversight and approval of Nuclear Safety Category 3 changes
- Leading joint task forces for Nuclear Safety Category 2 changes
- Resolving complex technical issues across design, installation and commissioning
- Preparing and authoring technical reviews, justification papers and formal judgements
- Engaging multidisciplinary specialists to drive consistent, high‑quality engineering outcomes
Pay, Benefits and Culture
Alongside a starting salary from £54,280 per annum, 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.
