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-E 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.

We are looking to recruit for the role of Steelwork Delivery Team.

The Team Lead will need to liaise with key stakeholders to ensure the delivery of the Steelwork detailed design for HPC and SZC. The Team Lead will be responsible for the team of Coordinators. This team will be made up of coordination and configuration engineers, and will include Coordination Leads for each building ‘Area’. Ultimately the Team Leader will lead their team to deliver the design and manage the configuration.

This role includes the managing of the team within the current fusion scenario; this will mean managing people in our office in France. Ultimately this role will require facilitating the full transfer or scope to the Bristol office. Part of the role will be to establish the team and set it up for successful delivery. The team does not exist in the current organisation.
