Control and Instrumentation Engineer

Are you looking for your next role in your engineering Control & Instrumentation career and the nuclear industry appeals? Are you ready for a role with a high level of responsibility, taking ownership of systems and processes within a high performing team? Our vacancy in the Engineering Department at Sizewell B Power Station might just be for you!

The opportunity

We’re looking for aspiring, proactive and hands-on Engineers who have experience in the Control & Instrumentation discipline. For example, if you're a practical C&I Technician looking to move in to engineering, this would be a great match for you. This role will provide a supported and mentored environment, with future opportunities to move to other areas of Engineering, like Systems or Component.

In our team, you’ll be ensuring our Plant is operated, tested and maintained safely and effectively. You’ll be working with a team of safety conscious and highly motivated engineers to uphold company and industry standards.

We’re happy to discuss options around flexible working arrangements, specifically the split between home and site working, but also potentially part time working, so please highlight in your application if this is something you're interested in.

Pay, benefits and culture

We’re offering a salary of £40,069 - £84,892, with our terms and conditions covered by the EDF Company Agreement. You’ll be appointed based on the parameters outlined in the Company Agreement as well as your existing salary, competence, experience and qualifications.

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself.  We’re committed to equality, 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, 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

As one of our Engineering team members, you will:

• Specify and optimise maintenance on assigned plant to ensure required levels of reliability and system safety functions are maintained
• Identify plant risks and mitigate these through maintenance and investment
• Maintain and develop knowledge within your core discipline whilst cross skilling into other disciplines
• Provide technical expertise and knowledge to troubleshooting activities, ensuring robust corrective actions are in place to correct issues and prevent recurrence
• Support outage (plant Shutdown) preparation and outage delivery
• Preparing and managing plant modifications.

Who you are

The minimum qualification for this role is an HNC (or Level 4 equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline and it may be advantageous if you hold a relevant degree. You’ll need an understanding of engineering principles, although we have various levels of entry from experienced engineers through to recent graduates starting their careers in engineering.

We also encourage applications from all areas of engineering not just the nuclear industry, so this is ideal if you are looking for a change of career direction. Full and extensive training and support will be provided to the successful applicants.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least 3 of the last 5 years.

Closing date for applications: Monday 29th April
