Civil Building Lead

Aztec West, Bristol - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.

Are you an experienced civil engineer with expertise in design contracts and a solid understanding of Eurocodes and reinforced concrete structures? Can you build strong collaborative relationships while ensuring the highest safety standards? If so, 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 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 within EPR-e, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality civil designs for one of the Common Raft Buildings within the Nuclear Island. Embedded within a multidisciplinary team and reporting to the Civil Team Lead, you’ll ensure your designs meet project goals for quality, timelines, and cost, all while contributing to a collaborative, cutting-edge engineering environment.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary from £53,000 to £63,000 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.

What you’ll be doing

The Civil Building Lead is a delivery-oriented role responsible for the development of specific structures, buildings, or cross-functional areas.

There are two positions for the Civil building lead role, one for Hinkley Point C and the other for Sizewell C.

As a civil building lead, you’ll monitor progress, drive change management, and proactively address technical issues, risks, and design modifications to keep the project on track. Additionally, you’ll contribute to risk registers, manage design open points, and champion continuous improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and deliverables. Your expertise will also support mentoring and guiding colleagues to achieve shared project and personal objectives.

For the SZC project, you’ll oversee the preparation and justification phases for building replication based on the HPC design, under the supervision and support of the civil team lead. This involves collecting and preparing input data from both HPC and specific SZC sources, as well as coordinating and reviewing the calculation phase.

For the HPC project, you will be responsible for the civil design of one of the buildings, under the supervision and support of the Civil team lead. You’ll lead and coordinate the civil engineering design process, ensuring consistency and quality across deliverables while collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams, subject matter experts, and site-based teams. You’ll play a key role in managing technical reviews, resolving complex design challenges, and ensuring seamless integration across disciplines and stakeholders.

Who you are

You will hold a degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent and possess extensive experience in the field, along with in-depth knowledge of Eurocodes and Health & Safety regulations. You’ll have solid understanding of EPR engineering processes and project engineering procedures, coupled with a demonstrated ability to set, achieve, and uphold high standards in safety and quality. Proficiency in tools like Microsoft Office and Navisworks is essential, along with strong communication and organisational skills to coordinate with diverse stakeholders effectively.

We’re looking for a collaborative, delivery-focused professional who excels at meeting deadlines while maintaining high standards of quality and safety. With a proactive approach and a team-oriented mindset, you’ll play a critical role in managing risks, solving complex problems, and driving successful project outcomes in this challenging and rewarding role.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!

Closing date for applications: 9th January 2025.

Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
