Job description

Overview

Aztec West, Bristol (hybrid working). Fixed-term contract until July 2026.

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Are you ready to shape the future of nuclear energy in the UK? Join us at EDF UK as a Safety Project Manager and play a pivotal role in delivering one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Europe. This is your chance to be part of a dynamic team driving innovation, safety, and sustainability at the heart of the Sizewell C development.

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 until July 2026. 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.

Responsibilities

As Safety Project Manager, you'll coordinate technical contributions across multiple disciplines, ensuring delivery is on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. You'll be instrumental in managing the safety scope for Sizewell C, supporting both strategic planning and day-to-day execution, while fostering collaboration across UK and French teams.

In this role, you'll lead the coordination of safety-related technical activities, ensure alignment across disciplines, and maintain oversight of delivery schedules and budgets. You'll manage the specification process for the annual Sizewell C Task Order, liaising with contract management teams and updating key documentation to reflect evolving project needs.

You'll support the Safety Discipline team with technical queries, monitor weekly progress, and contribute to monthly budget gap analyses. Your insights will help shape corrective actions and ensure smooth interactions with clients and regulatory bodies. You'll also play a key role in kick-off meetings, ensuring expectations are clearly defined and all necessary inputs are secured.

Working closely with the Safety Manager, you'll provide valuable input into performance reporting and help maintain high standards across all safety deliverables. Your work will directly impact the success of one of the UK's most critical energy projects.

This role will last until July 2026 in a fixed-term contract.

Who You Are

You bring an engineering degree (or equivalent experience) and project management experience within the nuclear sector. You have excellent interpersonal skills, capable of communicating effectively across all levels of the organisation. Your proactive approach and ability to manage contractual topics make you a reliable and respected team member.

You're highly organised, able to juggle multiple workstreams, and maintain clarity in complex environments. Fluency in English is essential, and familiarity with EPR or other PWR designs is a plus. Knowledge of nuclear safety and the ability to communicate in French would be beneficial, though not required.

Pay, Benefits & Culture

The salary range associated with this role starts from £64,000, depending on experience (Grade C). We offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme and a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle. These include enhanced parental leave, electric vehicle leasing, health insurance, product discounts, critical illness insurance, technology vouchers, gym membership, and season ticket loans.

We embrace flexibility and recognise different working needs. Whether in office, on site, or remote, we promote collaboration, connection, and comfort. Our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

We are an inclusive employer, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We strive for equal gender balance, a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, disabled people, and support for social mobility. We encourage applicants to request reasonable adjustments if needed.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic environment where diverse backgrounds drive fresh thinking and innovation. We support you to pursue a career that's unique to you.
