Ready to see your engineering expertise bring a new power station to life? Join EDF at Hinkley Point C and play a vital role in delivering one of the UK’s most complex commissioning programmes. Here, your impact matters because Success is Personal.

The Opportunity

As a Commissioning Engineer, you’ll play a key role in delivering safe, efficient electrical commissioning activities at Hinkley Point C (HPC). You’ll resolve technical challenges, support testing, and help ensure readiness for operations as part of our journey towards An Electric Britain.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role is based on site at our Hinkley Point C project in Bridgwater. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams, contributing to daily commissioning progress on one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects.

You’ll support complex technical decisions, from reviewing commissioning test results to producing phase reports. This is a unique opportunity to build expertise in electrical commissioning within a highly regulated environment, while contributing to nationally significant infrastructure.

Who You Are

We’re looking for a Commissioning Engineer with an electrical bias who can deliver technical analysis, resolve commissioning issues, and support regulated plant activities. Are you experienced in…?

• Delivering electrical engineering support across commissioning activities within a regulated industry such as nuclear, energy, utilities or complex infrastructure environments
• Applying UK electrical legislation and regulatory frameworks, including CDM requirements
• Supporting plant-based commissioning activities, including triage, troubleshooting, and resolving technical queries on site
• Producing technical documentation including analysis reports and end-of-commissioning reports
• Reviewing, verifying and validating commissioning test results, identifying non-conformances and recommending solutions

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will ordinarily require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Providing technical support to commissioning teams to resolve open points and remove blockers
• Acting as an interface with engineering teams to address complex technical issues
• Reviewing, verifying and accepting commissioning test results in line with procedures
• Analysing non-conforming results and recommending corrective actions
• Producing commissioning phase reports to support progression to the next stage

Pay, Benefits and Culture

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
