Warehouse SME


Are you able to identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives within warehouse operations to enhance efficiency and performance? Are you experienced in collaborating with 3PL partners to optimise logistics processes and resolve capacity-related challenges? Are you comfortable providing strategic guidance and support to senior leadership in addressing warehouse-related risks and ensuring smooth operational flow?


If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as our next Warehouse SME (Subject Matter Expert) here at Hinkley Point C!


The Opportunity


The Warehouse SME plays a critical role in driving operational excellence by embedding warehousing expertise across EDF’s operations in collaboration with its 3PL partner. This position will lead the charge in identifying and implementing continuous improvement opportunities, working closely with the 3PL CI lead to deliver tangible results.


Beyond improvement initiatives, the Warehouse SME will serve as a key advisor, offering strategic guidance to address warehouse-related risks and challenges, such as capacity optimisation and storage solutions. By proactively unblocking these obstacles, the SME ensures seamless operations. Ultimately, this role empowers EDF Energy to make well-informed decisions that support the efficient and timely execution of its work scope.


Pay, benefits and culture


Alongside a salary range of £60,000 - £70,000 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


The role focuses on delivering expertise and actionable insights to enhance warehouse operations, working closely with 3PL partners to define and implement optimisation initiatives. By collaborating with the Logistics Analyst, the role ensures performance is continuously monitored and improvement opportunities are identified.

Additionally, it fosters close collaboration with 3PL counterparts to refine and execute these initiatives, ensuring alignment across teams.

Additional responsibilities include:

 

  • Oversee the day-to-day execution of logistics services, ensuring alignment with performance standards set by Logistics leadership.
  • Contribute to the development of leadership KPIs, enabling clear communication and alignment of performance objectives.
  • Provide strategic guidance on maintaining metrics and analysing data to evaluate performance and recommend enhancements.

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.
