System Engineer

New engineering challenges, an opportunity to work on making a real difference to the future of a power station and building innovation in new ways of working. Three things you’ll have if you join us as an Engineer at Sizewell B Power Station!

The opportunity

We’re looking for forward thinking people with an engineering background to work with us on improving the safety and reliability of our plant, developing short to long-term improvement strategies and defining the maintenance policy on key operational systems. As a System Engineer, you’ll also be working on how the demands on your system change and the development and implementation of modifications to the plant and safety case. The role is based on site at the power station.

Pay, benefits and culture

The salary range associated with this role is between £50,000 - £75,000, alongside a market-leading pension scheme and a package including 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.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone’s working needs are different. Whether you’re in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, 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. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you’ll be doing

Each day will vary in this role, so you’ll need to adapt to changing circumstances. Some of the roles and responsibilities will include:

• Defining the maintenance and management strategy of plant systems
• Carrying out inspections and assessments on station assets and regular reliability reviews
• Managing the equipment reliability and maintenance policy, ensuring that compliance is achieved in line with the highest safety standards
• Working alongside project professionals to deliver capital investment schemes to improve your plant.

Your enthusiasm, resilience and adaptability will be key to your role as the system manager for a selection of the station’s plant systems. We want your drive and ownership of the role to promote innovation and improve station performance.

Who you are

Your self-motivated, positive attitude will ensure you can work under your own initiative to drive the strategy for your designated systems. You’ll be able to work alongside a range of diverse people and teams, and bring your engineering skills to benefit the power station.  You will be trained as to why nuclear is special and be required to demonstrate the highest standards of nuclear professionalism and safety. Your strength in communication skills will ensure complex information is conveyed in a simple and concise way to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, where you’ll need to adapt your style and content for the audience.

As a minimum, you will have a relevant HNC (or equivalent) and it may be advantageous if you have a relevant degree and already hold or are working towards Chartered Engineer Status. The company will provide mentoring and support for you to achieve chartership. Previous experience in an Engineering role is required, with a background in a regulated high hazard environment or similar industry would be desirable, but not essential.
 

Closing date for applications: Sunday 20th October

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