As part of the Responsible Designer for the Hinkley Point C EPR project, EDVANCE provides Engineering Design support for the Balance of Nuclear Island (BNI). CNEPE delivers similar works for the Conventional Island (CI) and Balance of Plant (BoP).

The Joint Design Office (JDO) is part of the HPC Engineering Directorate.
JDO staff are part of EPR-e.

Within its scope of delegated authority, the JDO provides technical support to the HPC site for the resolution of technical issues arising during construction works as well as erection, commission and testing. The JDO is also in charge of the resolution of open points and design changes that were not closed before site activities.

The JDO is managed by HPC, Licensee and Manager of the HPC Project. It is made up of staff from:

• HPC, managing the teams and owning the processes,
• EDVANCE and CNEPE who study and approve design changes as well as non-conformances within their scope of delegated authority,
• Contractors who previously delivered the detailed design.

Within this organization the JDO Equipment Engineer report to JDO equipment discipline Lead. The position is located on Hinkley Point C construction site.

The mission will aim to support the construction of the two EPR on HPC by:

• Answering to requests coming from building and erection contractors on equipment discipline by:
  • Gathering all needed input for the answer,
  • Producing technical assessment and solution, with supporting justification,
  • Liaising with design back-offices or execution designer when needed,
  • Assessing and listing the impacts of the site change on the equipment design,
  • Opening the dedicated change process to launch the implementation of the impacts,

• Reporting to the Equipment Discipline Lead achievements, progresses and difficulties and raising alerts on any aspects of the design when identified,
• Contributing to the closure of design open points after the delivery of design packages to site,
• Being part of JDO Equipment team, participating to Team meetings, sharing technical topics,
• Contributing to build OPEX for other projects (SZC or EPR2),
• Contributing to continuous improvement of the team.
  
  
  In a near future, the Equipment Engineer will be the entry point in JDO side for some contracts and equipment (to be defined) and will be responsible to interface with all the stakeholders.
