Job Description
Join a role where your expertise protects people, progress and purpose. At EDF, we know that everyone’s path looks different. That’s why Success is Personal, and here you can lead fire safety where it truly matters while shaping a career that reflects your impact.
The Opportunity
As a CommOps Fire Safety Team Leader, you’ll play a critical role in preparing Hinkley Point C for commissioning and pre-operations. You’ll lead fire safety management across a complex, high-risk environment, helping keep people safe while supporting EDF’s journey towards An Electric Britain.
You’ll join us on a salary starting of £67,000 per annum, based primarily at the #HinkleyPointC site. This role offers some flexibility for home working or other EDF office locations, balanced with a strong on-site presence to support operational priorities.
Leading a skilled team, you’ll shape fire safety arrangements, influence stakeholders and strengthen a positive fire safety culture. Your work will support regulatory compliance, operational readiness and long-term safety across one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects.
Who You Are
We’re looking for a CommOps Fire Safety Team Leader who leads with confidence, clarity and purpose, and who can balance strategic oversight with hands-on engagement. To be shortlisted, you need to offer:
