You work in Hinkley Point C, but do you feel part of a bigger nuclear family in EDF? 

Yes, it’s evident in my everyday interactions! My role is Hinkley Point C Critical Programmes Engineering Lead. It involves working with colleagues from different parts of EDF around the country and internationally, collaborating to tackle issues and find the best engineering solutions, learning from diverse cultures and perspectives. I also bring my experience to Hinkley Point C, having worked in different parts of EDF: from operations to defueling.

As a side note, in 2024, I was also lucky enough to attend the EDF Intra-company Olympic Games in Paris and meet colleagues from the non-nuclear business as well as those from Italy, even a French island in the Caribbean! It was a good reminder of how international EDF is. 

What motivated you to come and work for EDF? 

What’s kept you at EDF? 

It’s the support you get to develop yourself. I’ve had really good mentoring support, for both technical work and my personal development. People are incredibly helpful and supportive at EDF. 

My experience has been very positive. It’s a very supportive environment; when you reach out, people are there to give back and will invest in developing any new starters or those who want to learn more about anything. You just need the courage to ask!

What’s important to you in the workplace?

For me it’s about being valued for the work I’m doing – as well as doing work that’s adding value. I get satisfaction from doing something that’s making improvements, whether it’s improving a process for operators on site or creating safer operations at Hinkley Point C.
