· Lead coordination of surveys (bathymetric, topographic, monitoring of shoreline changes).


2. Marine Interface Management


· Act as the engineering focal point between the Enabling & Earthworks team and marine contractors, marine logistics, harbour authorities, and coastal engineering consultants.
· Coordinate material movements involving barges, landing areas, marine unloading zones, and near-shore staging points.
· Ensure compliance with marine safety regulations, vessel movement protocols, and environmental constraints.
· Monitor tidal windows, weather conditions, and marine access constraints that impact MBIF delivery.


3. Quality Assurance & Compliance


· Oversee testing and inspection regimes for marine-related fill operations, including placement, compaction, and acceptance criteria.
· Manage NCRs, technical queries, design change requests, and ensure timely close-out.
· Maintain engineering records, as-built documentation, and quality packs.
· Ensure compliance with nuclear-regulated documentation standards and traceability requirements.


4. Planning & Coordination


· Work with the Project Manager and Works Manager to plan marine-interface activities, resource requirements, and lookahead schedules.
· Review progress against programme and identify risks, constraints, and opportunities for improved sequencing.
· Ensure engineering readiness for key MBIF marine milestones.
· Coordinate geotechnical data, survey results, and marine monitoring information to support design validation.


5. Safety, Health & Environment (SHE)


· Embed a high safety culture, aligned with Sizewell C nuclear standards and marine safety regulations.
· Ensure marine-specific hazards-tidal conditions, vessel movements, working near water-are controlled and actively managed.
· Support environmental compliance, including coastal protection measures, sediment control, marine fauna restrictions, and environmental monitoring.
· Participate in incident investigations and support corrective action plans.


6. People Management & Mentoring


· Provide mentoring and technical guidance to site engineers, graduate engineers, and supervisors.
· Support competency development within the engineering team, especially regarding marine operations and earthworks integration.
· Facilitate effective communication and coordination between operational teams, survey, logistics, and subcontractors.


Requirements


· SMSTS or SSSTS certification.
· Chartered or working toward chartership (ICE, IMarEST, CIWEM).
· Degree or equivalent in Civil Engineering, Marine Engineering, or Coastal Engineering.
· Experience on nuclear-regulated or high-compliance infrastructure projects.
· Experience with large-scale material movements involving marine logistics (barges, landing craft, etc.).
· Strong experience as a Senior Engineer or Section Engineer on major civil engineering or marine infrastructure projects.
· Technical knowledge of marine construction or coastal engineering
· Understanding of UK coastal regulations, CDM requirements, and site safety standards.
· Excellent communication and coordination skills, especially with multidisciplinary teams

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.
