Do you thrive in complex environments and want to be part of a pioneering project shaping the future of energy in the UK? If you are ready to take your career to the next level, join us at EDF UK as a Quality Engineer and help deliver one of the most ambitious nuclear projects in Europe.

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.
