EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is a subsidiary of Edvance, which is a joint venture between EDF and Framatome, established in 2018 in charge of the design and the realisation of nuclear islands for new projects in France and worldwide.

In particular, EDF EPR-E UK is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for Hinkley Point C (HPC) project and preparing the design replication and engineering activities for the Sizewell C (SZC) Project.

At 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.

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.

We are looking to recruit for the role of Technical Lead sequence 3.

The Design of HPC Project is delivered by Integrated Teams and is transversally managed through sequences.

Sequence Pilots secure the overall coordination of the activities performed by all contributing teams on their sequence, and the consistency of approach for multi disciplines belonging to the same sequence.

They ensure compliance between their scope’s delivery schedule and the HPC schedule, and report to the Client. Sequence Pilots also monitor and report to their NNB counterparts on the project risks managed by the Integrated Teams. They drive the definition of the RD’s Task order and its associated budget and monitor its evolution throughout the year.

The Sequence 3 Technical Lead, reporting to the Sequence 3 Pilot, contributes to the achievement of the sequence’s objectives.

The Technical Lead will be responsible for the following:

·       Drive and coordinate the progress of technical & contractual topics across the relevant entities (ITB, EME, SPP, JDO), by gathering inputs from the various stakeholders, proposing orientations for the Sequence Pilot to approve, and engaging with the Client to reach convergence.

·       Participate in reviewing and addressing Early warnings, answers to Compensation Events and/or General Communications.

·       Contribute to the management of scope gaps, engaging with the technical teams to identify the gaps and with NNB Programs to allocate them.

·       Participate in Risks Management, to ensure Risks are consistently covered across all areas and entities
