An exciting opportunity exists for a number of Electrical Engineers with onsite electrical systems installation experience to work in support of EDF’s Hinkley C nuclear power station construction project.

The positions will be based at the Hinkley C site near Bridgwater, Somerset (TA5 1UD) 4 days/week, with the rest worked from home. Candidates will be required to obtain nuclear site security clearance for this role.

  • Coordinate with multiple stakeholders in a site environment.

  • Degree or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Experience in electrical systems onsite installation.
  • Proven track record of progressing from hands-on trade roles into supervisory or site management positions is advantageous.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings / BIM models.
  • Knowledge of the construction/installation industry and construction sequencing of electrical and mechanical installation.
