Field Engineer - Project Bridge

Field Engineer — Civil Works/Mechanical/Electrical/HSE (French and English speaker)

Full-time, permanent position based 5 days a week at HPC initially with the objective to relocate to France

Do you have construction experience as a Civil, Electrical, Mechanical or HSE Engineer? Do you speak French & English? Do you enjoy working on the field and want to be part of one of the largest European projects in the coming years?

If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us as a Field Engineer here at Hinkley Point C!

The Opportunity

Put your skills and dedication to good use and help us build the next generation of EPR/EPR2 (Evolutionary Power Reactor) nuclear power plants in Europe, starting with Hinkley Point C in Somerset, England, followed by Penly in Seine-Maritime, France. This is your chance to be part of a significant project shaping the future of the French energy market and nuclear sector: a program that will focus on building three pairs of reactors across France.

As part of the EPR2 project, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work on a large-scale program, on an industrial, technical, and human level. You will initially join EDF Energy UK to spend a few years at the HPC site in the south-west of England. Afterwards, you’ll join the EDF SA (France) team in charge of building the EPR2 site in Penly.

Both sites will give you an opportunity to oversee activities within your area of expertise, and make sure project objectives are met to the highest standards.

Pay, benefits, and culture

In addition to a competitive salary, 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.

What you will be doing…

You will act as the primary contact for contract holders regarding all matters relating to delivery and safety. Your responsibilities will include the following activities:

• Prepare field reports and anticipate logistical and regulatory issues (in particular).
• Support the monitoring process — which includes drafting monitoring programs and guides, assisting controllers — ensuring compliance with security, safety, and quality requirements, and monitoring the documentation issued by contract holders.
• Ensure adherence to these monitoring programs.
• Coordinate critical or high-stake activities and facilitate the communication with other departments and stakeholders.

Who you are…

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or HSE.
• You have proven experience in carrying out or monitoring work on large-scale sites. Knowledge of nuclear facilities would be an asset.
• You demonstrate autonomy, responsibility, rigour, and leadership.
• You have excellent interpersonal skills and a collaborative work style.
• You are proficient in English (minimum level B1).

This role offers a rare opportunity to contribute to one of the most ambitious energy projects in Europe. Join us and make an impact on the future of energy.

As this role will eventually be based in France, you must be in a position to relocate at that point and be able to speak French fluently.

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