Job Description

Are you ready to lead meaningful change, streamline complex processes, and help build a culture of continuous improvement across a growing renewable energy business? As our Process Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence, leading transformation initiatives, and ensuring that people, processes, and systems work together more effectively to support business success.

At EDF power solutions, we’re shaping an Electric UK and Ireland.

Working across Asset Operations, you'll influence the way teams operate, helping to embed lean thinking, improve quality management practices, and deliver sustainable business improvements. Your work will enable greater efficiency, stronger collaboration, and better outcomes across a rapidly evolving organisation.

The Opportunity

As a Process Lead, you'll be at the heart of continuous improvement activity within Asset Operations. Working closely with the Continuous Improvement Manager and key stakeholders, you'll lead change initiatives, facilitate improvement workshops, drive business transformation projects, and support the successful adoption of new processes and ways of working. This is an exciting opportunity to make a visible impact across a growing renewable energy business while developing your expertise in continuous improvement, lean methodologies, and change management.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, you'll join a flexible home-based team supporting colleagues across UK and Ireland. This role offers remote working with some travel to EDF power solutions offices when required, giving you the opportunity to build relationships across the wider business while maintaining flexibility in how you work.

You'll play a key role in shaping a culture of continuous improvement, supporting organisational change programmes, enhancing quality management approaches, and helping teams identify opportunities to work smarter. From process optimisation to stakeholder engagement and change delivery, you'll influence improvements that support our ambitions for growth and operational excellence.

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.
