Description

Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater.

Do you have a track record of
leading teams to deliver
success on
major projects? Do you have a broad knowledge of
Civil Engineering Design and
Commercial and Construction Delivery? Are you looking for a new
opportunity which is
rewarding, and at the forefront of
nuclear energy?

If so, join us as an Area Construction Lead, and you'll join one of the most exciting and challenging projects within EDF.

At Hinkley Point C (HPC), we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK, providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.

The Opportunity...

As an Area Construction Lead, you will be responsible for planning and integrating all aspects of the safe delivery of a significant geographical area of works on the Hinkley Point C project, ensuring the responsibilities of the principal contractor are achieved.

You will establish an integrated and coordinated construction approach that ensures pre-requisites, dependencies and constraints are managed in a balanced and integrated manner to ensure the activities on the site run safely and smoothly.

You will be a staunch advocate of our "Nuclear Safety Culture", and lead the embedment of this approach in all processes and activities undertaken on the project.

Without nuclear, Britain won't kick the fossil fuel dependency.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a competitive starting salary, we're dedicated to offering flexible benefits that support our people across all aspects of their lives.

We offer a market-leading company pension scheme, paid holidays, and a range of flexible benefits, such as: a company incentive bonus plan, company car allowance, cycle to work scheme, discounts and employee pricing.

At EDF, everyone's welcome and we're committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

We'd like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.
