Fire Engineer

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

Occasional trips to France will be required.

Are you a qualified engineer? Do you have knowledge of UK Fire Regulations? Are you looking to develop your expertise and build experience in the exciting and challenging environment of new nuclear build?

If so, join us as a Fire Engineer and you’ll join one of the most exciting and ambitious projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK.

The Opportunity...

At Hinkley Point C (HPC) we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.

EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) established in 2023, oversees the design (basic design) and the realisation (studies, procurement, erection, testing and commissioning) of nuclear islands for new projects.

EPR-E is responsible for delivering the design for a number of NI buildings, systems and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project through an integrated team, support to HPC construction and commissioning activities, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. Therefore, a Technical Directorate is being created, responsible for the engineering disciplines and technical expertise required to deliver the different engineering projects through integrated teams in EPR-E.

As a Fire Engineer, you will play a crucial role in conducting internal studies on all buildings under our responsibility, ensuring safety functions are effectively executed in the event of a fire within the plant.

Pay, benefits and culture…

Alongside a salary from £52,000 to £62,000, we offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle, and the opportunity to earn bonus.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need. 

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

What you’ll be doing…

• Collaborating with Building Leaders, safety team, systems engineers, civil engineers, and plant layout engineers.
• Analysing 3D models to identify combustible materials in different areas.
• Conducting temperature change calculations for simulated fires using MAGIC software.
• Assessing risk of damage to systems and study functional redundancy.
• Monitoring engineering changes and recommending preventive measures.
