Electrical Technical Lead

Are you a qualified Electrical Engineer? Do you have experience with Power transmission projects and components? Are you looking to develop your expertise and build experience in the challenging environment of nuclear new build?

The Opportunity

EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is tasked with delivering the design for several nuclear island (NI) buildings, systems, and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project. This involves working through an integrated team, supporting HPC construction and commissioning efforts, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. As a result, a Technical Directorate is being established to oversee the engineering disciplines and technical expertise needed to successfully deliver these projects through EPR-E’s integrated teams.

As the Electrical Technical Lead, you will support the Power Transmission Engineering delivery managers and handle engineering activities for other buildings within the CI-BOP perimeter. Your responsibilities include coordinating design activities, managing technical interfaces, ensuring design consistency, overseeing technical progress, and engaging with stakeholders, while also updating system documentation and supporting contract-related tasks. For HPC projects, you'll also need to liaise regularly with the JDO team, potentially requiring regular visits to their office.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a starting salary from £58,000 to £64,000, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, 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.  

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application.
