Job Description

Operations Technician - Bridgwater, UK

About the Role

Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater

Are you an experienced plant operator looking for your next challenge? Do you have a passion for power, an eye for system safety, and the skills to thrive in high-integrity environments? Are you eager to take on a role with daily new challenges and the chance to make a difference?

If so, join EDF as an Operations Technician!

The Opportunity

As an Operations Technician, you will undertake operational activities outside the main control room under the guidance of the Main Control Room, Temporary Control Room, or CommOps. You will monitor equipment and plant performance, identify deviations, and respond to faults following operational procedures. Emergency Scheme duties will be part of your role, with full training provided.

Pay, Benefits, and Culture

Alongside a competitive salary, your package includes a market-leading pension scheme and various benefits such as parental leave, electric vehicle leasing, health insurance, discounts, critical illness cover, vouchers, gym membership, and season ticket loans.

EDF UK promotes flexibility, supporting collaboration whether working in offices, on-site, or remotely. We prioritize safety, inclusion, and a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and celebrated.

We aim for a diverse workforce, representing various backgrounds and supporting social mobility. We encourage applicants to request reasonable adjustments and are committed to fostering a dynamic, inclusive environment that drives innovation.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will support system handovers, commissioning, maintenance, and contract activities, ensuring safety and readiness. The role will evolve into a shift position with emergency team duties. You will monitor plant performance, ensure compliance with regulations and safety rules, and contribute to continuous improvement through reporting, mentoring, and reviewing procedures.

You will take responsibility for your actions, acknowledge errors, seek support when needed, and perform emergency duties. Promoting a safety culture, supporting work management, participating in training, and assisting in projects are also key responsibilities.

Who You Are

You should have a solid understanding of plant systems and experience supporting complex projects in safety-critical environments. A background in power or heavy industry, with a technical or engineering qualification, is desirable. Candidates with experience in power, process engineering, or roles like Senior Authorised Persons will have an advantage.

Minimum requirements include GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Mathematics at grade C or above. Additional technical qualifications are beneficial.

If this sounds like you, we look forward to your application!
