Are you a qualified Electrical Engineer? Do you have experience with Power transmission projects and components? Are you looking to develop your expertise and build experience in the challenging environment of nuclear new build?
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 the Electrical Technical Lead, you will support the Power Transmission Engineering delivery managers and handle engineering activities for other buildings within the CI-BOP perimeter. Your responsibilities include coordinating design activities, managing technical interfaces, ensuring design consistency, overseeing technical progress, and engaging with stakeholders, while also updating system documentation and supporting contract-related tasks. For HPC projects, you'll also need to liaise regularly with the JDO team, potentially requiring regular visits to their office.
Pay, benefits and culture
Alongside a starting salary from £58,000 to £64,000, 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.

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 support the Power Transmission Engineering delivery managers, handle engineering tasks for CI-BOP buildings and assist the Building Manager with electrical interface studies to ensure a coordinated and integrated design.
You’ll contribute to client quotation requests by identifying required resources and estimating workloads.
Additionally, you’ll analyse and verify technical input data, manage technical interfaces, address change requests ensuring design completeness and consistency using a 3D model.
You’ll produce high-quality design deliverables, conduct technical verifications, and lead progress meetings.
You’ll also write and update system documentation, including design manuals and safety classifications, identify periodical testing, and produce technical documentation for tendering phases while supporting contract organization and resolving technical issues.
Who you are
Being an Electrical Technical Lead at EDF means having a degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering and substantial experience with Power Transmission projects and components.
You should have a proven track record in producing high-quality design documentation and managing workloads to meet deadlines effectively.
We value proactive individuals who confidently engage with others, including remote teams, and are dedicated to building positive working relationships and enhancing the quality of engineering studies and documentation.
Relevant experience in the nuclear industry, especially with EPR electrical distribution design, Instrumentation and Control architecture, and Safety Classification is desirable. Proficiency in French, both spoken and written, would be beneficial.
If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
Closing date for applications: 5th November 2024
Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
