Job Description
Ready to take the next step in your project management career and help deliver one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects? As an Assistant Project Manager at EDF, you'll help deliver major contracts that support the UK's low-carbon future. Here, Success is Personal – and you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills while contributing to work of real national importance.
The Opportunity
As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll support the delivery of major contracts across Hinkley Point C. Working with multidisciplinary teams, you'll help coordinate engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction, and handover activities that are critical to project success.
You’ll join us on a competitive starting salary with the potential for an annual bonus. This hybrid role is based at Hinkley Point C near Bridgwater in Somerset, combining on-site collaboration with flexibility where appropriate.
Hinkley Point C is the first of the UK's next generation of nuclear power stations. You'll gain experience on a nationally significant project, build your project management expertise, and support EDF's journey towards An Electric Britain.
Who You Are
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
