About the Role
Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater (full-time, site- based)
Join us at the forefront of sustainable construction. As an Environmental Advisor at Hinkley Point C, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure projects meets the highest environmental standards.
The Opportunity
At Hinkley Point C (HPC) we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.
As an Environmental Advisor, you’ll ensure that environmental legislation and permit requirements are met across the HPC site. You’ll work closely with contractors and stakeholders to identify improvements, maintain compliance, and promote best practices. This is a site-based role where your guidance will help shape a greener future.
Pay, Benefits & Culture
The salary for this role is £54,000 (Grade B). 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
You’ll be the eyes and ears of environmental compliance on site—conducting inspections, offering expert advice, and ensuring that contractors meet environmental standards. Your work will help prevent incidents and promote sustainable practices.
You’ll support audits, review environmental management plans, maintain permit compliance, and lead investigations into environmental issues. Your insights will shape how we manage compliance at site.
This role also involves working with external partners and regulators, contributing to tenders, and helping to manage small packages of work. Your influence will be felt across the entire HPC site.
The role requires occasional weekend working to support site operations and ensure continuous environmental oversight.
Who You Are
You’ve got expertise in an environmental or related discipline, with hands-on experience in a construction environment. You understand UK environmental legislation and have worked within an Environmental Management System (EMS) aligned with ISO14001.
You’re confident working independently, with strong communication and influencing skills. You know how to build relationships with contractors and regulators alike, and you’re comfortable interpreting environmental data and leading investigations.
Experience with soil and materials management or EPR permit compliance is a bonus—but your passion for environmental excellence is what really sets you apart.
