Employment type: Permanent/Full Time 

Join us as a Water Steam Cycle Commissioning Engineer and you’ll join one of the most exciting and challenging projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK. 

The Hinkley Point C (HPC) Commissioning Team is growing as part of its preparation to commission the first nuclear power station to be built in a generation at HPC, which at the operating stage will employ several hundred people and make a major contribution to the UK’s move to reduce carbon emissions.  

We are seeking experienced Commissioning Engineers to form part of an expanding team and contribute their knowledge and skills to be a core part of one of the nation’s key infrastructure projects.

Your role will evolve during the lifecycle of the project and combine technical knowledge with project delivery skills. At the early stages you will contribute to detailed planning and preparation, including reviewing contractor-produced commissioning documentation. Following this, you will execute commissioning tests and conduct surveillance on contractor-led activities as part of a team, and analyse the results to justify the readiness of the HPC units to safely enter commercial operation. 

Pay, benefits and culture…

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including a company pension scheme, a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle, and the opportunity to earn bonus. 

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself.  We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.  We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility. 

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need. 

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.
