What you will be doing…

In this crucial role, you'll offer support when an issue arises on site with construction and installation and be part of a team who takes action to address them promptly. This role involves answering and resolving queries for non-conformance, design changes, and exemption requests, which require categorisation based on their nuclear and environmental impact. You will critically assess the feasibility of challenging design decisions to ensure they align with project strategies, collaborating closely with the technical team to find effective solutions. Other roles and responsibilities in the role include:

  • Ensure compliance with Nuclear Safety and Environmental Regulation requirements through thorough oversight.

  • Advocate for design decisions that align with the project's strategic objectives.

  • Coordinate with external organisations to provide necessary support.

  • Contribute to resolving and closing Open Points effectively.

  • Evaluate technical risks and implement mitigation strategies accordingly.

  • Foster strong relationships with EDF EPR Engineering (Responsible Designer) and EDF Nuclear Services

  • Report directly to an Engineering Lead on operational matters.

    Are you experienced in HVAC system design, installation, or commissioning within the nuclear industry or a similarly regulated environment? Are you knowledgeable about Health & Safety legislation, including CDM and Nuclear Site License requirements, relevant to HVAC engineering? Are you proactive in reporting and escalating relevant issues while working independently as an HVAC Engineer?, Although a degree in a relevant subject matter would be advantageous, it is not essential. With this said, we are looking for you to hold the following skills and experiences to complete this role:


  • Hands-on experience in HVAC design, installation, and/or commissioning.

  • Demonstrated application of multi-disciplinary technical expertise within the nuclear industry.

  • Familiarity with the construction/installation industry and adherence to Health & Safety legislation, including CDM and Nuclear Site License requirements.

  • Proficiency in influencing diverse stakeholders, particularly those within a site environment.

  • Ability to work autonomously, taking proactive measures to report and escalate pertinent issues.

    In addition to a salary range of £52,500 - £60,000 depending on experience, we offer flexible benefits that support our employees' physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing. Examples include: a market-leading company pension scheme, a bonus plan, health cover, electric vehicle leasing, mental health support and employee discounts.
