Aztec West, Bristol - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.
Are you a qualified engineer? Do you have knowledge of Environmental or Radiological topics in the nuclear sector? Are you looking to develop your expertise and build experience in the exciting and challenging environment of new nuclear build?
If so, join us as a Nuclear Radiological and Environment Lead and you’ll join one of the most exciting and ambitious projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK.
The Opportunity...
EPR-E established in 2023, oversees the design (basic design) and the realization (studies, procurement, erection, testing and commissioning) of nuclear islands for new projects.
EPR-E is responsible for delivering the design for a number of NI buildings, systems and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project through an integrated team, support to HPC construction and commissioning activities, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. Therefore, a Technical Directorate is being created, responsible for the engineering disciplines and technical expertise required to deliver the different engineering projects through integrated teams in EPR-E.
For the SZC Project, work on the replication strategy and some early design studies are already underway and being delivered and managed from both France and UK.
As a Nuclear Radiological and Environment Lead, you will be maintaining and exerting the technical authority of the project to demonstrate full control of the SZC Nuclear Island (NI) technical integration.
The TD set up the replication strategy on the NI scope, ensure the technical integration of the contributions from all disciplines, coordinate the project delegates within the technical departments, implement and deliver the overall engineering process.
Within TD, the Nuclear Safety Team are responsible for the overall coordination of activities relating to the following technical topic areas: Safety Functional Requirements, Hazards, Fault Studies, Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA), Human Factors, Security, Structural Integrity, Environment, Decommissioning, Fire and Radiation Protection.
