Job description

About the Role

Aztec West, Bristol (Hybrid working, 3 days in the office per week)

Step into a pivotal role at the heart of the UK's nuclear future. As an Information Management System (IMS) Team Lead at EDF EPR Engineering UK, you'll be part of a team shaping the infrastructure behind Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C – two of the most significant low‑carbon energy projects in Europe. If you're passionate about engineering systems, digital tools, and leading high‑performing teams, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

The Opportunity

EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR‑E) is tasked with delivering the design for several nuclear island (NI) buildings, systems, and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project. This involves working through an integrated team, supporting HPC construction and commissioning efforts, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. As a result, a Technical Directorate is being established to oversee the engineering disciplines and technical expertise needed to successfully deliver these projects through EPR‑E's integrated teams.

As IMS Team Lead, you'll be responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of our CAD and engineering tools infrastructure. You'll lead a team of specialists, drive innovation through automation, and collaborate across departments to deliver solutions that support our engineering excellence.

Pay, Benefits & Culture

The salary range associated with this role is competitive (Grade C), dependent on experience. We offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, and a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle. We cover enhanced parental leave, electric vehicle leasing, health insurance, product discounts, critical illness insurance, technology vouchers, gym membership, and 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 is unique to you. Because success is personal.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll lead the Information Management System (IMS) team, which underpins the engineering design process by managing our CAD and engineering tools infrastructure. Your leadership will ensure these systems run smoothly, with minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.

Working closely with engineering and IT teams, you'll identify and implement solutions that align with project goals. From troubleshooting technical issues to planning and delivering infrastructure upgrades, your work will directly support the success of Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C.

You'll also drive innovation through automation and digital optimisation, helping to future‑prove our engineering processes. Your role will be both strategic and hands‑on, ensuring the IMS team delivers high‑quality support while continuously evolving to meet the demands of complex nuclear projects.

Who You Are

You're an experienced engineering or IT professional with a degree or equivalent in a relevant field and a strong background in managing IMS or similar technical teams. You bring established leadership experience and a deep understanding of engineering tools, particularly AVEVA applications like E3D, Engineering, and Diagrams.

Your technical expertise spans IT infrastructure, networks, and engineering software, and you're confident managing complex projects from planning through to execution. You're also comfortable with scripting and automation, using tools like Python, PowerShell, or C# to streamline operations.

But beyond the tech, you're a collaborative leader who thrives in cross‑functional environments. You're passionate about mentoring others, solving problems, and delivering solutions that make a difference. If you're ready to lead a team at the forefront of engineering innovation, we'd love to hear from you.
