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

Are you an experienced engineer ready to take your career to the next level? Do you have strong leadership skills, along with excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities? Are you committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in a dynamic environment? If so, join EDF as a Safety Integration Lead!

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 the Safety Integration Lead, you’ll oversee the integration of safety requirements within the HPC design under the guidance of the Integration Team Bristol Safety Manager (ITBS). Your primary focus will be to support the HPC project’s goals for design maturity, stability, and configuration management, ensuring that cross-functional and complex technical issues affecting safety requirements are effectively and promptly resolved.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary from £65,000 to £70,000 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.

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 support ITBS staff in using configuration tools (UKDC/IDT/OPM) and ensure that all configuration processes are followed to improve design stability and maturity. You’ll handle the technical impacts of open points and design changes, and report progress on project goals to the ITBS Manager and HPC Technical Director, escalating issues as needed.

In this role, you’ll coordinate team efforts to meet ITBS objectives, managing safety requirements within the design, and acting as the Level 2 Open Point Coordinator, overseeing status updates and daily processes. You’ll also manage ITBS interfaces, attend relevant committee meetings, and maintain key safety and environmental data, ensuring alignment with project standards.

Serving as the main contact for safety integration across teams like CNEPE, HPC Nuclear Services, and Edvance, you’ll monitor progress through KPIs and dashboards, and promote best practices in integration and configuration across ITBx entities.

Who you are

As the Safety Integration Lead at EDF, you’ll bring a degree in engineering, along with strong leadership skills to coordinate and resolve technical issues across multidisciplinary teams. You’ll have extensive knowledge of EPR design and engineering processes and a solid grasp of UK laws, regulations, nuclear industry standards and best practices.

Your role requires setting clear objectives, driving team performance, and effectively communicating progress to senior stakeholders. You’ll possess excellent organisational skills and ability for engaging and collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders to foster strong, productive relationships. Additionally, you’ll uphold the highest standards of safety and quality in all activities.

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

Closing date for applications: 26th November 2024
