Mechanical Engineer

EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is a subsidiary of Edvance, which is a joint venture between EDF and Framatome, established in 2018 in charge of the design and the realisation of nuclear islands for new projects in France and worldwide.

In particular, EDF EPR-E UK is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for Hinkley Point C (HPC) project and preparing the design replication and engineering activities for the Sizewell C (SZC) Project.

At HPC we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.

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;

·       Report on work pack delivery while managing team-lead and client expectations

·       Mentor junior and new members of the team to ensure delivery quality and growth of team capability

·       Active engagement and pursuit of deliverable quality, process adherence and continuous improvement within the team

·       Adhere to Design Change and Open point management procedures in the execution of design changes and oversee the modelling of piping & support design in the 3D model;

·       Working with CAD designers in the preparation of CAD tasks and completion sign-off;

·       Undertake investigations for emergent design issues, referring to points of technical authority and actively engaging in other teams;

·       Aggressively pursue timely closure of design change contributions from the multi-disciplinary team, escalating issues where appropriate in pursuit of timely delivery of the work packs.

·       Adhere to the design specification and component catalogues

·       Propose technical solutions to issues that are found on the generic design concept;

·       Effectively communicate with the different stakeholders in the design delivery workflow (calculation team, layout, equipment)

Essential Qualifications, Experience and Skills

·       Mechanical Engineering degree or suitable diploma;

·       Understanding of process plant;

·       Demonstrable track-record of technical work delivery to quality and time;

·       Excellent written and verbal communication skills;

·       Very good interpersonal skills;

·       Proactive and self-motivated in completion of tasks;

·       Ability to meet commitments and deadlines;

·       Able to follow project engineering procedures;

·       High level of technical coordination

Desirable Qualifications, Experience and Skills

·       Knowledge of piping engineering and plant design principles in process industries;

·       Prior experience in nuclear piping design delivery to RCC-M nuclear codes

·       Knowledge of EPR Engineering structure and technical management processes

·       Knowledge of Aveva PDMS/E3D or experience with similar plant design packages
