Are you an experienced Project Manager with a deep understanding of EPR design and leadership in complex projects? Do you have a proven track record in managing multi-discipline EPCM projects and contract negotiation within regulated environments? Are you ready to apply your skills in project delivery, stakeholder engagement, and nuclear quality assurance in one of the UK's most complex energy projects? If so, come and join EDF as a Project Manager!


The Opportunity

As a Project Manager for Hinkley Point ‘C’ (HPC), you’ll provide leadership to ensure the effective delivery of the Civils Programme, while managing its broader impact on the overall project. Reporting directly to a Senior Project Manager, you’ll oversee the full life cycle of the non-classified HVAC contract, from engineering to commissioning, for various industrial buildings.

You’ll be responsible for delivering systems such as ventilation, air conditioning, and fire safety systems in line with the project’s safety, quality, time, and cost requirements. Your expertise in this field, combined with strong leadership skills, will ensure the project meets all objectives.


Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a starting salary of £60,000 to £70,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, 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. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.


What you’ll be doing

You’ll be responsible for defining the work scope of the assigned contract or package, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with other programme elements. You will collaborate with the project team to secure necessary resources, monitor personnel needs, and ensure resources maintain the required skills and qualifications. Additionally, you’ll develop and implement strategies and plans in alignment with the Programme Execution Plan (PEP), ensuring the project is effectively organised, managed, and delivered.

You’ll oversee the delivery of contract activities, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, within budget, and meet business and technical requirements. By monitoring progress against milestones and budgets, you will keep stakeholders informed and address any discrepancies. You will also proactively manage risks, resolve issues, and update the programme budget as needed, escalating critical matters to the Senior Project Manager where necessary.

Your role will include maintaining accurate Level 3 schedules, reviewing contractor schedules, and ensuring all deliverables are met according to the contract. You will apply Earned Value Management (EVM) and Continuous Improvement principles while fostering knowledge-sharing and best practices across the project.

You possess excellent analytical, and critical reasoning skills, paired with effective presentation, influencing, and facilitation abilities. You should hold a degree and chartered status in construction, engineering, or a related discipline. Experience working within regulated environments, like the nuclear sector, and knowledge of commercial arrangements such as NEC and FIDIC enhance your ability to manage complex contracts, costs, and risks efficiently.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of engaging multi-level stakeholders, managing commercial claims, and leading projects from concept to handover. You will have experience in construction activities, procurement, and negotiation. Your ability to ensure safety, security, and environmental responsibility in technically dynamic environments is key to your success.
