Ready to lead a critical delivery programme at the heart of one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects? Do you enjoy bringing together complex engineering, commercial and stakeholder requirements to achieve successful outcomes? At EDF, Success is Personal – and this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while shaping your own career journey.
The Opportunity
As an Engineering Sequence Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful delivery of a major engineering work package supporting Hinkley Point C. You'll provide leadership and oversight across scope, schedule, budget and stakeholder management, helping engineering teams operate effectively while ensuring client requirements are met. The role spans a broad range of Nuclear Island activities, including Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC (MEH) works, civil works and secondary steelwork interfaces, with a particular focus on supporting and coordinating MEH delivery. Your work will directly support the delivery of low-carbon nuclear generation and the journey towards An Electric Britain.
EDF EPR Engineering UK delivers the design for nuclear island buildings, systems, and equipment for Hinkley Point C and similar projects. Working as part of an integrated team, EPR Engineering supports construction and commissioning while preparing design‑replication feasibility and related engineering activities.
This position is based at #AztecWest in #Bristol, where you'll work closely with project teams, engineering specialists and key stakeholders supporting delivery across the Nuclear Island programme.
In this senior leadership position, you'll take ownership of the Sequence 3 Task Order, managing delivery performance, commercial interfaces, risk management activities and client engagement. You'll work across a diverse portfolio of engineering topics covering MEH, civil works and secondary steelwork activities, acting as a key interface between engineering teams, programme leadership and the client organisation. Predominantly focused on MEH programme management, you'll lead a dedicated team, influence long-term strategy, oversee significant budgets and contracts, and support the successful delivery of one of Europe's most complex and high-profile engineering projects.
