Welder
Bilfinger UK
Hinkley Point C

 


Bilfinger UK have a requirement for Welders to be based on Hinkley Point C on a permanent basis.

 


Welders use a fabrication process that joins or fuses materials by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint. Welding is the process of heating and melting metal parts to join them together permanently. Welding is also used to join beams when constructing bridges and buildings. Some welders are cutters, using their tools to cut metal into pieces, as required by a blueprint or design or to cut structures into pieces so they can be discarded. A a Welder, you may work with more than a hundred methods of welding, which use electricity or various gasses to create the high temperatures that bond metals. Arc welding, which can be done either by hand or by machine, is the most common form. In this method, an arc, or electric current, is run through the pieces to be joined aswell as a thin welding rod. When the rod touches the metal pieces, a powerful electrical circuit is formed. The high-temperature heat that this produces melts the edges of the metal and the welding rod together. Then the melted metal solidifies to make a strong connection. The type of welding rod used depends on the properties of the metals to be joined and the strength needed for the weld.

 

 

Role Qualifications:

 

  • Level 3 Pipe Welder Apprenticeship or equivalent Apprenticeship in a Welding discipline or Welding Engineering Construction Pipework or Welding Engineering Construction Plate
  • CCNSG

 

 

Experience

 

  • Previous site experience preferred but not essential
     

 

For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

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.
