About The Role
Ready to build a new organisation that will help turn engineering design into successful construction at Sizewell C? As the Organisation Set-Up Lead (SZC FEO), you’ll shape the team, processes and controls that help keep delivery moving. At EDF, Success is Personal – and you’ll have the opportunity to make your impact count.
The Opportunity
As Organisation Set-Up Lead (SZC FEO), you’ll establish the team, processes and engineering support needed to help construction progress efficiently. You’ll lead the organisational set-up while supporting the transition towards An Electric Britain through one of the UK’s major new nuclear projects.
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.
Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this hybrid role is based at #AztecWest in #Bristol, with a minimum of three days a week in the office. You’ll also occasionally travel to Sizewell C and other offices.
You’ll have the opportunity to create and coordinate a new team covering various areas. From defining procedures to bringing stakeholders together, you’ll establish the organisation and processes needed to help prevent engineering issues from holding up construction.
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.
