About The Role
Ready to lead the commissioning activities that will help bring one of Europe’s most significant infrastructure projects to life? Do you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, leading technical teams, and making a lasting impact on the future of low-carbon energy? At EDF, Success is Personal – and this is your opportunity to shape your career while helping deliver a safer, sustainable future.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Commissioning Engineer, you'll play a key role in the safe and successful commissioning of critical plant systems at Hinkley Point C. Working at the forefront of commissioning readiness and delivery, you'll lead technical activities, support commissioning teams, and help ensure systems perform to the highest safety and quality standards.
You’ll join us on a salary starting of £67,000 per annum. This role is based at Hinkley Point C. Currently, you'll typically spend Monday and Tuesday on site at Hinkley Point C, Wednesday and Thursday at a dedicated HPC office, and Friday working from home. As the project progresses into the commissioning phase, the role will transition to being fully site-based at Hinkley Point C.
You'll work alongside highly experienced engineering, commissioning and project teams, helping drive EDF’s journey towards An Electric Britain. From preparing commissioning documentation to leading commissioning activities and resolving technical challenges, you'll make a direct contribution to one of the UK's most ambitious nuclear projects while continuing to develop your own expertise and leadership capability.
