Junior Mechanical Calculation Engineer

Aztec West, Bristol - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.

Are you a passionate Engineer eager to take the next step in your career? Do you have strong communication skills and a deep understanding of mechanical concepts? If so, come and join EDF as a Junior Mechanical Calculation Engineer!

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.

As a Junior Mechanical Calculation Engineer, you will be playing a crucial role in finalising the design phase of the Hinkley Point C project. In the piping sector, you will be responsible for overseeing the detailed design of an extensive piping network, stretching over 100 kilometres, which is integral to the Nuclear Island of the HPC EPR project.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary from £35,000 to £39,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

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.

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 responsible for ensuring the integrity of pipe network designs and supporting structures by performing detailed piping calculations and evaluating HVAC and electrical supports under various load scenarios, including thermal expansion and seismic activity.
• You’ll also utilise element analysis software and contribute to the development of specialised tools.

Who you are

• Being a Junior Mechanical Calculation Engineer means demonstrating exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, along with a deep understanding of mechanical concepts like modal and static analysis.
• You’ll have expertise in performing mechanical simulations using finite element methods and proficiency in Python programming for developing computational tools.
• We’re looking for someone with innovative problem-solving skills, a commitment to continuous learning, and a drive to stay current with the latest technological advancements in the field.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!

Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
