Senior Civil Engineer / Geotechnical Engineer 

 

 

Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.

 

 

Gloucester Business Park, Gloucester or Atlantic Quays, Glasgow.


Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days a week in office.

 

Are you ready to shape the future of the UK’s energy landscape? If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving complex challenges, and want to make a real impact, EDF UK is looking for multiple, passionate Civil Engineers like you to join our dynamic team.

 

 

The Opportunity

 

As a Senior Civil Engineer / Geotechnical Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering major Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) projects at Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, while also supporting our fleet of operating nuclear power stations. You’ll be part of the Civil Engineering Branch ensuring technical excellence and safety across every stage of our projects while supporting younger staff members to develop and improve their engineering knowledge and capabilities.

 

You’ll collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, from external designers to regulators, and travel to key sites to maintain oversight and drive project success. Your expertise will help us fulfil our ‘Intelligent Customer’ responsibilities, ensuring our designs and operations meet the highest standards.

 

 

Pay, benefits and culture

 

Alongside a salary from £60,000 to £80,000, 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

 

As a Senior Civil Engineer / Geotechnical Engineer within Nuclear Services, you will be responsible for and involved in:

  • Provide expert technical advice and innovative solutions to the nuclear new build projects ensuring they meet rigorous safety and quality standards
  • Manage technical issues to enable the delivery of pragmatic solutions, challenging where appropriate.
  • Perform technical review and acceptance of design documentation produced by designers.
  • Maintain oversight to ensure safety case requirements are captured in the design and the ‘golden thread’ can be clearly traced.
  • Develop and maintain effective working relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, including interactions with the ONR.

 

Overall, you’ll be at the forefront of civil design and construction for Hinkley Point C, contribute to the ramp-up of Sizewell C, and support life extension projects for our existing nuclear fleet. Your work will directly impact and contribute to Britain’s journey to #CarbonNetZero.

 

This is a role where your expertise will shape the future of nuclear energy, offering both challenge and reward in equal measure.

 

 

Who you are

 

You will hold a degree in Civil or Structural Engineering and bring experience as a Civil/Structural Engineer, ideally with Chartership status. You’re skilled in designing or reviewing reinforced concrete and steelwork structures, working to Eurocodes and other recognised standards or will provide expert Geotechnical Engineering advice.

 

You’re confident leading integrated technical solutions, governance, and stakeholder engagement. Your analytical mindset, attention to detail, and ability to work independently set you apart. Above all, your communication and interpersonal skills enable you to thrive in a collaborative, innovative environment.

 

If you’re ready to progress your Civil Engineering career and want to be part of a team shaping the future of nuclear energy in the UK, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
