Job Description

Ready to build a new organisation that will help turn engineering design into successful construction at Sizewell C? As the Organisation Set-Up Lead (SZC FEO), you’ll shape the team, processes and controls that help keep delivery moving. At EDF, Success is Personal – and you’ll have the opportunity to make your impact count.

The Opportunity

As Organisation Set-Up Lead (SZC FEO), you’ll establish the team, processes and engineering support needed to help construction progress efficiently. You’ll lead the organisational set-up while supporting the transition towards An Electric Britain through one of the UK’s major new nuclear projects.

EDF EPR Engineering UK delivers the design for nuclear island buildings, systems, and equipment for Hinkley Point C and similar projects. Working as part of an integrated team, EPR Engineering supports construction and commissioning while preparing design-replication feasibility and related engineering activities.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this hybrid role is based at #AztecWest in #Bristol, with a minimum of three days a week in the office. You’ll also occasionally travel to Sizewell C and other offices.

You’ll have the opportunity to create and coordinate a new team covering various areas. From defining procedures to bringing stakeholders together, you’ll establish the organisation and processes needed to help prevent engineering issues from holding up construction.

Who You Are

We’re looking for an Organisation Set-Up Lead (SZC FEO), with nuclear engineering experience and the practical knowledge to establish teams, processes and interfaces supporting a complex construction programme. To be shortlisted, you need to offer…

• At least five years’ experience in the nuclear industry, with a good working understanding of UK EPR technology
• Experience in configuration management, design coordination or site engineering
• Experience setting up engineering organisations, processes or procedures that support engineering and construction delivery
• Experience creating and implementing processes and procedures supporting engineering and construction delivery
• Experience coordinating stakeholders and interfaces across engineering, site and project teams

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading the set-up and implementation of the FEO organisation, including its strategy, schedule, processes and procedures
• Building and coordinating a team covering areas including configuration control and document control, with scope to support additional disciplines as the project develops
• Establishing site configuration management processes that maintain traceability between design, changes and construction
• Setting up and managing the SZC As Built Control Tower, using lessons learned from Hinkley Point C
• Coordinating engineering, site, design and project stakeholders to put effective processes in place and help prevent construction being delayed by engineering issues

Pay, Benefits and Culture

Alongside a starting salary from £78,000pa, depending on experience, potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
