What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll lead the delivery of spares reviews, ensuring they align with commissioning and maintenance needs. Your work will help shape how we manage and procure both strategic and non-strategic spares, ensuring readiness for key project milestones.
You’ll take ownership of obsolescence management, process documentation, and improvement plans. You’ll also ensure training profiles are in place and that the team is equipped with the right skills to succeed.
Collaboration is key—you’ll work closely with other departments, EDF’s wider nuclear business, and external suppliers. You’ll also draw on industry best practices to help make HPC a world-class performer in nuclear operations.
Who You Are
You’re a confident communicator who can build strong relationships with stakeholders across technical and functional areas. You bring experience in coaching or working within matrix teams, and you’re comfortable navigating complex project environments.
You understand spares optimisation, inventory management, and procurement processes. You’re able to interpret technical drawings and data, and you’ve worked with asset management systems. You’re also skilled at writing clear, compelling technical reports and business cases.
Whether your experience comes from the nuclear sector or another industry, what matters most is your ability to plan, deliver, and adapt in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
