Do you have working experience in Technical Document Review? Within the Nuclear industry or similar?
If so, join us as a Nuclear Safety Engineer and you’ll join one of the most exciting and ambitious projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK.
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.
EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) established in 2023, oversees the design (basic design) and the realisation (studies, procurement, erection, testing and commissioning) of nuclear islands for new projects.
EPR-E is responsible for delivering the design for a number of Nuclear Island buildings, systems and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project through an integrated team, support to HPC construction and commissioning activities, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. Therefore, a Technical Directorate is being created, responsible for the engineering disciplines and technical expertise required to deliver the different engineering projects through integrated teams in EPR-E.
We are currently looking to recruit for the role of Nuclear Safety Engineer for EDF EPR Engineering UK Ltd (EPR-E). EPR-E is a subsidiary of Edvance, located in the UK (mainly in Bristol), to support the HPC and SZC projects. EPR-E’s role is to deliver part of the engineering scope, and to contribute to Edvance project management (quality, technical integration, and project control).
Pay, benefits and culture…
Alongside a competitive salary between £55,000 - £70,000, (Pro rata) 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.
What you’ll be doing…
The Nuclear Safety Engineer will be expected to conduct the following activities:
• Planning and managing an independent Nuclear Safety oversight program for EPR-E deliverables
and other key activities.
• Performing independent reviews of EPR-E engineering deliverables across a wide variety of topics
and systems.
• Assessing the performance of EPR-E processes to ensure that Nuclear Safety is prioritised
appropriately.
• Assessing Nuclear Safety trends and providing independent advice to improve standards across
the organisation.
• Participating in decision-making processes and meetings to provide an independent Nuclear
Safety viewpoint.
• Advising engineering personnel on Nuclear Safety, nuclear regulatory issues and safety
categorisation of design changes
• Routine reporting on Nuclear Safety performance to EPR-E (UK) and Edvance (France)
• Developing and delivering Nuclear Safety-related awareness training
• Contributing to the organisational development of Nuclear Safety Culture through participation in
the ‘Nuclear Safety Champions’ Network
• Identifying ways of improving the level of Nuclear Safety awareness and personnel engagement
in collaboration with other members of the NS&Q team.
Who you are…
• Engineering or science degree (or equivalent qualification)
• Relevant experience working in a highly regulated / safety-conscious industry
• Knowledge of relevant nuclear safety related codes, standards and practices
• Knowledge and/or experience of nuclear reactor design, operations and safety
• Experience in applying nuclear safety principles and/or regulations to the review of nuclear facility
design and/or operation.
Your background may include some of the following:
• Experience of EPR or PWR specific nuclear design codes and standards
• Experience with modification/design change and safety categorization processes
• Experience within a Design Authority, Responsible Designer or Safety Assurance team
• Experience developing and/or delivering Nuclear Safety related training material.
