About The Role
Join a team where your expertise can make a lasting impact on one of Europe's largest and most complex construction projects. At EDF, Success is Personal. As a Quality Management Lead, you'll help assure the quality of critical equipment, systems, and services that support the safe delivery of a nationally significant programme, while shaping your career in a way that works for you.
The Opportunity
As a Quality Management Lead, you'll play a key role in ensuring quality requirements are achieved across the full project lifecycle at Hinkley Point C. Acting as the quality focal point for your portfolio of contracts, you'll help drive Right First Time delivery while supporting the safe and successful completion of major nuclear infrastructure.
You’ll join us on a salary starting of £66,866 per annum. This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of 2–3 days per week based at the #HinkleyPointC site. The remaining time can be spent working from home or from an allocated HPC office location, although this is predominantly a site-based role due to the nature of the work.
Working closely with project teams, suppliers, and quality specialists, you'll help support our journey towards An Electric Britain. You'll gain exposure to complex engineering, manufacturing, and construction activities while influencing quality performance across a diverse supply chain and contributing to one of the UK's most ambitious energy projects.
