Lead Electrical Engineer - Ancillary Buildings

At Hinkley Point C (HPC) we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. When operational, HPC will provide low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes, and make a major contribution to the UK’s move to reduce carbon emissions. We are looking for a Lead Electrical Engineer to join our nuclear energy business working as part of EDF’s Technical Directorate based in Bristol. This is an exciting time to join the team as the HPC Project is moving into the key mechanical & electrical erection phase and work is progressing to help Britain achieve #CarbonNetZero. Pay, benefits and culture Alongside a starting salary from £70,000 - £80,000 (negotiable depending on experience), 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.

Who you are We are looking for someone with a degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience; chartered status is desirable. You'll need to bring experience of designing high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) electrical distribution systems across large sites with multiple functional buildings. In this role, you'll be responsible for estimating electrical demands for the entire site and individual buildings, considering various operating profiles and seasonal variations. You'll also need to be skilled in determining Essential and Non-Essential electrical loads and assigning the appropriate power supplies. Your experience should include sizing electrical distribution equipment such as transformers, generators, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). You'll also need proficiency in selectivity and diversity analysis, electrical protection, and cable sizing. Finally, you should have experience across the project lifecycle, including design, qualification, manufacturing, construction, commissioning, or site-based operations. Working in a highly regulated environment will be familiar territory for you. If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
