EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is a subsidiary of Edvance, which is a joint venture between EDF and Framatome, established in 2018 in charge of the design and the realisation of nuclear islands for new projects in France and worldwide.

In particular, EDF EPR Engineering UK is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for Hinkley Point C (HPC) project and preparing the design replication and engineering activities for the Sizewell C (SZC) Project.

At HPC we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.

Hinkley Point ‘C’ (HPC) is a vital part of the UK’s future energy strategy. As the first of the UK’s next generation of nuclear power stations (EPR), HPC is both of high profile and high complexity. The project is delivered through an organization that comprises multi-disciplinary teams. The MEH program is assigned to deliver the Mechanical / Electrical / HVAC component in terms of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC).

For the HPC project, we are currently looking to recruit for the role of HVAC Construction Lead Engineer

The HVAC Construction Lead Engineer has the responsibility to ensure delivery of the HVAC activities for the life cycle of the contract or work package in accordance with the buildings Project schedule. He is reporting to the Project Manager of his area or disciplines. He will ensure planning and delivery in accordance with all safety, quality, time, and cost parameters to meet the needs of the Project.

HVAC Construction Lead Engineer on behalf on NNB (HPC) is responsible for the following:

Guarantee that Safety is the overriding priority for any activity performed during Pre-Construction activities which includes nuclear safety as well as Industrial Safety.
