Project Manager

Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater.
 

Be part of one of the most exciting and challenging projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK. 

The Opportunity…
 

Hinkley Point ‘C’ (HPC) is a vital part of the UK’s future energy strategy. As the first of the UK’s next generation of Nuclear power stations, HPC is both of high profile and high complexity.

We are looking for Project Managers to join our Primary Circuit Installation Team. You will join a team with direct responsibility for the installation of the heart of HPC – the reactor pressure vessel, steam generators, coolant pumps and pressuriser. We are also responsible for delivery of a range of other equipment supporting reactor fuelling.

You will work with an expert team of contractors to ensure that the installation is completed on time but most importantly to the very high-quality requirements we need. You will be working with a multicultural multidisciplined team with a huge number of different experiences. Your role will be to build strong relationships to ensure project success.

As a Project Manager you will provide leadership to ensure the effective delivery of activities in the programme to required safety, quality, time and cost targets, while recognising and managing the impacts of the programme on the wider Project.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to be part of building one of the largest, most complex projects in Europe; something vital to the country’s future energy needs.

Pay, benefits and culture…

 
Alongside a salary of £58,000 - £68,000 (negotiable depending on experience), 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. 

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.
