Do you have previous experience working on large, complex projects in highly regulated industries? Can you work with diverse teams and influence key stakeholders? Ready to make an impact on one of the biggest projects in Europe?

Join us as a Senior Project Manager, as we continue to lead the rebirth of Nuclear in the UK.


The Opportunity

At Hinkley Point C (HPC), we are constructing two new nuclear reactors, marking the first of a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. Once operational, these reactors will provide low-carbon electricity to power around six million homes.

As the Senior Project Manager, you’ll report directly to a Delivery Manager and manage the contracts for the design, manufacturing, and supply of equipment for the HPC Project in 3 main areas: Valves, Pumps and Static Equipment.

HPC is both of high profile and high complexity. Its delivery will be reliant not only on innovative engineering and construction but also on the strongest of leadership qualities. As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll ensure its delivery meets safety, quality, time, and cost objectives.


Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary from £85,000
- £95,000 (negotiable depending on experience), 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

In your role, you’ll be leading the delivery of a contract or work package, coordinating closely with other programme elements. This includes making sure your team has the necessary resources and addressing any personnel issues as they arise.

You’ll create and execute strategies in line with the Programme Execution Plan (PEP), covering all aspects of delivery, from the "why" and "what" to the "how" and "who." Communication with stakeholders will be key as you drive safe, on-time, and on-budget delivery, while also monitoring progress and reporting on key milestones, deadlines, and budgets.

You'll be responsible for identifying risks, resolving issues, and escalating concerns when necessary. Additionally, you’ll capture lessons learned, share knowledge with the team, and collaborate with other programmes to adopt best practices and ensure contractual requirements are met.

Fostering strong relationships within your team will be essential, as you'll lead three Lead Project Managers and their teams (whole team size is roughly 15).


Who you are

You have a proven track record of delivering projects in complex, regulated environments, ideally within Nuclear Energy, while ensuring safety, security, and environmental responsibility. You’re skilled at managing engineering design, contract strategies, multi-discipline projects, procurement, and complex contracts. Skilled in controlling costs, risk, and schedules, you have successfully handled commercial claims and negotiations, demonstrating your ability to manage projects from concept to handover.

Your leadership stands out in engaging and influencing stakeholders, with strong management skills across project, financial, and change management. You’re experienced in using scheduling, programming, and risk tools, and have managed contractors and consultants on large construction projects.

With excellent communication, presentation, and organisational abilities, you’re adept at building relationships and maintaining networks. A degree in engineering, manufacturing, construction, or a related field, and a Project Management qualification are desirable but not essential.


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.
