Are you a passionate Environmental Engineer looking to take the next step in your career? Do you have experience in implementing environmental requirements, along with expertise in system design and process engineering? If so, come and join EDF as an Environmental Engineer!
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 an Environmental Engineer, you’ll lead on environmental technical topics for both the HPC and SZC Projects, working within the Transverse Discipline Section, which oversees Environment and Safety for EDFE. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with project teams and clients, providing critical support to the Environmental Team Lead and the broader Environment Team.
You’ll ensure that design teams receive high-quality guidance, maintaining the professionalism needed for such prestigious projects, while ensuring environmental requirements and standards are met. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to one of Europe’s largest and most complex projects, supporting the success of nuclear energy as a vital part of the UK's future energy mix.
Pay, benefits and culture
