Are you a skilled Civil Engineer with expertise in seismic design for reinforced concrete structures? Are you able to work both independently and collaboratively within a team? Can you promote a safety culture by addressing and reporting safety concerns to drive positive change? If so, come and join EDF as a Civil Building Lead!


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 (SZC) 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 Civil Building Lead for the SZC project, you’ll oversee the preparation and justification phases for building replication based on the HPC design. This involves collecting and preparing input data from both HPC and specific SZC sources, as well as coordinating and reviewing the calculation phase. You’ll conduct reviews and collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure that project requirements for cost, quality, and timelines are met as defined by the Civil Lead. As the project progresses, you may also manage a small team of civil engineers.


Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary from £65,000 to £75,000 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 coordinate complex technical issues and transverse topics across various programs and disciplines, ensuring these activities progress effectively. You’ll assist in preparing technical documentation for procurement alongside the Contract Engineering Lead (CEL) and support SZC by facilitating technical discussions during the procurement phase before contracts are signed with the civil designer.

You’ll ensure that all technical issues are addressed within the Nuclear Island Civil works activities and manage the resolution of complex points within your scope. Additionally, you’ll support the CEL in coordinating with the civil designer and stakeholders to produce designs, review deliverables, and ensure they align with the validated schedule.

You’ll identify the need for updates to key documents and produce them in time for the civil designer's input data package. Managing workload and resources effectively, you’ll distribute tasks within your team, evaluate performance, and prepare design change papers for presentation in change committees. You’ll also verify the consistency of input data from previous projects, conduct technical verifications of design documents, and participate in maturity and gate reviews with stakeholders. Finally, you’ll contribute to CDM reviews and maintain the Design Risk Register.


Who you are

You will possess strong technical expertise in civil engineering, particularly in the seismic design of reinforced concrete structures. You should be able to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team, making technical decisions with or without support when necessary. You’ll have a solid reporting capability, including the ability to communicate effectively with senior management.

Your knowledge of CDM regulations will be essential, and you’ll excel at building collaborative relationships with various internal and external stakeholders. Maintaining high standards of safety and quality will be a priority, supported by excellent written and verbal communication skills. You should also demonstrate strong negotiation abilities and a delivery-focused approach to meet commitments and deadlines. A commitment to fostering a safety culture is crucial, as you will be expected to communicate any safety concerns to drive positive change within the organisation.
