About the Role
Bristol (hybrid working)
A career that will deliver change. Together, we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero.
Are you ready to lead a team delivering the electrical systems that power the UK’s most ambitious nuclear projects? As Electrical Installation Group Lead, you’ll guide a specialist team through complex challenges, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to shape the future of energy while developing your leadership in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.
The Opportunity
EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is tasked with delivering the design for several nuclear island (NI) buildings, systems, and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project. This involves working through an integrated team, supporting HPC construction and commissioning efforts, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. As a result, a Technical Directorate is being established to oversee the engineering disciplines and technical expertise needed to successfully deliver these projects through EPR-E’s integrated teams.
EPR-E is a joint venture between EDF and Framatome, established in 2018 to lead the design and realisation of nuclear islands for new projects in France and worldwide. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of delivering the electrical systems for Hinkley Point C and preparing for Sizewell C, contributing to the UK’s low-carbon future.
Pay, Benefits & Culture
The salary range associated with this role is competitive (grade C), dependent on experience. We offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, and a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle. 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
Based in our Bristol office, with occasional travel to France, you’ll lead a team responsible for delivering electrical installation packages across small power systems, lighting, and site socket infrastructure. You’ll work closely with the Electrical Design Manager and other discipline leads to ensure quality, safety, and timely delivery.
You’ll oversee supplier contracts, manage design studies, and ensure that all deliverables meet technical and regulatory standards. Your role will also involve integrating site feedback, coordinating with international teams, and ensuring that documentation is accurate and aligned with evolving project needs.
As a leader, you’ll be responsible for team development, resource planning, and promoting a strong nuclear safety culture. You’ll act as a key technical authority, ensuring that your team’s work supports the broader goals of the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C projects.
Who You Are
You’ll have a strong background in electrical engineering, ideally within the nuclear or energy sector. You’ve led teams before and know how to manage complex workloads, meet deadlines, and inspire others to deliver their best.
You’re a confident communicator, comfortable working across borders and disciplines. You’re proactive, collaborative, and always looking for ways to improve. Experience with EPR systems, safety classification, or UK nuclear licensing is a plus—but your leadership, adaptability, and technical insight are what really matter.
You understand the importance of diversity, inclusion, and safety in the workplace, and you’re ready to be a role model for others in the team.
