EDF, as the majority shareholder and Principal Contractor, is leading this 96-month construction project that will power millions of homes for the next 60 years.

Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be responsible for planning and delivering I&C work packages, ensuring the right resources are in place and SQEP compliant. You’ll support the Senior Project Manager in aligning strategies with the Programme Execution Plan and maintaining strong communication with stakeholders.

Your focus will be on delivering safely, on time, and within budget. You’ll monitor progress, manage risks, and escalate issues when needed. You’ll also support schedule development and ensure alignment with the wider project timeline.

You’ll help foster a culture of continuous improvement by sharing lessons learned and collaborating across programmes. You’ll ensure contractual obligations are met and contribute to the overall success of one of the UK’s most significant energy projects.

Who You Are

You bring proven leadership experience in complex projects and a solid understanding of CDM Regulations. Your analytical and critical thinking skills are matched by your ability to apply tools like estimating, scheduling, risk management, and Earned Value Management.
