Graduate Engineer (French Speaker)

Graduate Engineer - Nuclear

Based in the UK initially with relocation to France after 2 years 

Full-Time, Permanent. 3-4 days on site and 1-2 days working from home or other offices.

Are you interested in developing your career within Nuclear Engineering?  Would you like to help develop innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges?  Are you passionate about staying updated with the latest advancements in nuclear technologies?

If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as a Graduate Engineer on our EPR2 Development Programme here at Hinkley Point C!

The Opportunity

The EDF Group is poised to make history with the world's largest investment in EPR2 technology. As we advance the HPC Project in the UK, France is set to lead the way with the construction of six cutting-edge reactors in Penly, Gravelines, and Bugey in the coming years.

Through our initiative Project Bridge, we’re fostering international skill transfers between the UK and France.

The EPR2 Development Program, as part of Project Bridge, offers a unique opportunity for Graduate Engineers to join Europe’s largest construction site and build the skills required to support us with our EPR2 builds in France.

Initially you will spend two years immersed in our HPC project, based either on site or at one of our satellite offices in Bridgwater or Bristol.

After 2 years, you will then be transferred to EDF France, most likely in Penly (Seine-Maritime). 

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of a programme allowing you to develop new skills you will be able to use on other EPR2 sites.

Pay, benefits and culture

In addition to a competitive salary and relocation support, we offer flexible benefits that support our employees’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing. Examples include: a market-leading company pension scheme, a bonus plan, health cover, electric vehicle leasing, mental health support and employee discounts.

At EDF, everyone is welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We would 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 are a disability confident employer and will do all we can to support you through your recruitment journey with us.  If you would like to talk about adjustments, or support you may need, please note this within your application.

We will value the difference you bring and give you opportunities to thrive and succeed.

A dedicated team will be at hand to accompany you throughout the onboarding process and relocation to the UK (when applicable) and back to France.

During your stay in the UK, you will benefit from Sponsorship, Buddy and Mentoring programs, providing you with the right level of support and allowing you to build your network of connections in the UK and in France.

At the end of your 24-month stay at HPC, we will also support your transfer back to France (practically and financially) when it is time for you to work on the EPR2 project.

What you will be doing…

As part of a vibrant and multidisciplinary team, you'll play a crucial role in representing the intelligent customer function for the HPC project. With EDF's ambitious plans to construct and operate new EPRs in both the UK and France, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of Nuclear Power Generation.

Who you are…

We’re seeking recently graduated nuclear professionals for roles in:

• Engineering: HVAC, Mechanical, Electrical, Configuration, NSSS, I&C, Environmental, Geotechnical
• Project Management: Assistant Project Managers to Delivery Managers
• Commissioning: Engineers and Technicians
• Supply Chain: Specialists and Commercial roles

As this role will be based in France after the initial 2-year period, you must be in a position to relocate at that point and be able to speak French to a professional level. 

When applying, please upload your CV in English.

Join us! We’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
