Job description

About the Role

Ready to lead engineering excellence at one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects? Want to shape the future of nuclear energy and help Britain achieve net zero? 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 a Piping Calculation Engineer at Hinkley Point C, you’ll play a key role in completing the design phase of one of the UK’s most significant nuclear projects.

You’ll be the specialist ensuring the integrity of a vast piping network that forms the backbone of the Nuclear Island. This is a hybrid role based at Aztec West, with some flexibility to work from home – though you’ll be expected in the office at least three days a week.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex engineering concepts clearly in writing and speech.
• Strong mechanical engineering knowledge, including modal/static analysis, finite element simulations, and CAD design/modeling.
• Familiarity with industry standards, regulatory compliance, and nuclear project contexts (EPR or similar).
• Experience in technical coordination, piping support calculations (RSTAB/BEAM STRESS), and tools such as CALTUY/Pipestress.
• Knowledge of RCC‑M code (section C3650 at minimum) and proficiency in Python for developing computational tools.
• Overseeing design changes, rework activities and mitigation of open points to maintain project progress.
• Collaborating with design and delivery teams to ensure technical quality across disciplines.
• Resolving engineering issues pragmatically to keep the project moving forward.

Pay, Benefits and Culture

Alongside a salary from £55,000, potential for an annual bonus, and a market‑leading pension scheme, your package will include customizable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more. We’re committed to building a workforce that reflects gender balance, social mobility, and inclusion of minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, and those with disabilities. As a Disability Confidence employer, we will support applicants requiring adjustments.

Success is Personal.

Remote working/work at home options are available for this role.

Closing date for applications: 28th December.
