Job description

EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E)

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 Waste System Integrator, you'll play a pivotal role in coordinating technical activities and driving design progress within the Waste Systems Team. You'll be at the heart of the effluent treatment systems design, ensuring alignment with project milestones and supporting multidisciplinary teams to resolve complex engineering challenges. Your work will directly contribute to the safe and efficient delivery of two of the UK's most significant nuclear projects.

You’ll act as a technical coordinator, managing the configuration activities within the Waste Systems Team, which is responsible for designing effluent treatment systems in the Nuclear Island. Your role will involve setting priorities aligned with project milestones, supporting engineers in resolving cross‑disciplinary issues, and ensuring smooth collaboration across interfacing teams.

You’ll be instrumental in maintaining design stability, overseeing change integration, and ensuring updates to configuration attributes and specification databases are timely and accurate. You’ll also lead transverse technical tasks involving multiple systems and report key performance indicators to the HPC Technical Direction.

This role requires close collaboration with teams across the UK, France, and Germany, ensuring engineering activities meet quality standards and project requirements. Your leadership will help drive design maturity and contribute to the successful delivery of nuclear infrastructure.

You’ll bring expertise in Mechanical or Process Engineering, along with established experience in process engineering or relevant work on the HPC project, or other nuclear infrastructure. Your background in the nuclear industry will be complemented by strong communication skills and the ability to manage workloads effectively across teams.

You’re proactive, confident in engaging with colleagues across international offices, and committed to building positive working relationships. Ideally, you’ll have knowledge of EPR system design principles, instrumentation and control architecture, and safety classification. Experience with effluent treatment systems or other BNI systems is a plus, as is a continuous drive to improve engineering quality and documentation.

Looking to make a real impact in the journey to Net Zero? Join us at EDF UK, where your expertise will help shape the future of clean energy. This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to be part of something transformative.

The salary range associated with this role starts from £64,000 depending on experience (Grade C). Benefits include:

• Company pension scheme
• Enhanced parental leave
• Electric vehicle leasing
• Health insurance
• Product discounts
• Critical illness insurance
• Technology vouchers
• Gym membership
• Season ticket loans
