About the Role
Ready to make an impact by helping shape the quality standards behind one of the UK’s most complex engineering projects? As part of EDF, you’ll be contributing to a team where your growth matters because Success is Personal. This is your opportunity to influence major construction, engineering, and supply chain activity while developing your career your way.
The Opportunity
As a Quality Management Lead, you’ll help ensure the safe and effective delivery of critical work across the Hinkley Point C project.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role offers flexible working. You’ll spend 1–2 days a week on site across #Aztec, #SDC and #HPC, with European travel as required. You’ll balance home working with meaningful on‑site collaboration as part of a supportive, expert quality team.
You’ll help drive effective quality management arrangements while working with contractors, inspectors, engineers, and project teams. You’ll gain exposure to complex technical environments, opportunities to broaden your expertise, and the chance to influence decisions at every stage of the project lifecycle.
