In particular, EPR-E is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for the Hinkley Point C (HPC) project and prepare the design replication and engineering activities for the Sizewell C (SZC) Project. There are opportunities to support the growth and long-term capability of EPR Engineering by bringing talented mechanical engineers into our organization with a growth mindset and an enthusiasm for delivering one of the most significant infrastructure projects on the planet. Primarily, we all seeking to support our piping design capability with the immediate posting but are keen to invest in our employees with diverse growth opportunities throughout their careers. The role EPR-E UK Piping team is in charge of the detail design of 300km of piping network of the HPC Nuclear Island, up to the issue for fabrication and with additional support provided through to erection on site. Our goal is to safeguard our organisation’s technical capability with talented and growth-oriented individuals who are keen to develop their technical competency in the field of piping engineering for Hinkley Point C and future UK nuclear projects. Future opportunities for growth and skill development will exist across the wider piping and equipment department and beyond in the expanded EDF operational organization as the project progresses for those candidates with the right attitude and skill set. Successful candidates will start as engineers in one of our piping design teams, working with CAD designers and other team engineers on the timely production of piping design models and deliverables on the HPC Nuclear Island scope, ensuring the piping design is executed accurately, respecting system requirements, specifications and configuration changes. This will frequently involve collaborative work with execution design, procurement and equipment contracts along with other multi-disciplinary design teams to support design delivery in accordance with site construction schedules. Largely being in the post-handover phase of design delivery, our Piping Engineers are responsible for integration of design changes, final equipment design and outstanding open points into the delivered design models. They are expected to contribute to (and where required by seniority manage the team contribution to) the Open Point and UK Design Change management processes for their designated areas, ensuring that impacts to the design are properly categorized and logged prior to their resolution. The engineers are also expected to engage in continuous learning improvement and the identification and correction of non-conformances in the design. Senior engineers within the team will be expected to adopt positions of technical responsibility and coordinate the delivery of engineering teams as required. They are also expected to participate in the mentoring and training of junior team members, and collaboration with parallel disciplines, to maintain the piping design capability of the organisation. They are expected to act as an example of positive behaviours expected from all team members. Exact responsibilities will vary depending on technical scope and level of experience but are expected to include up to the following:  

• Deliver the piping work packages for UK nuclear projects, ensure adherence to specifications, delivery/design processes and QA, including participation and chairing kick off meetings;
• Drive maturity of design and closure of issues to agreed delivery schedule, and that the hand-over package fulfils the quality and maturity requirements given by the Project;
