Design Engineer (Pool, Liners, Tanks and Sumps)

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.

EPR-E is responsible for delivering the design for a number of NI buildings, systems and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project through an integrated team, support to HPC construction and commissioning activities, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project.

The Joint Design Organization (JDO) is an integrated team composed of teams from: the HPC Client (NNB), who leads the JDO; EDVANCE and CNEPE and Contractors who have carried out the detailed design studies. As part of its scope of delegation, JDO provides technical support at the HPC EPR site for the resolution of the various problems arising during the construction phases and later during the testing and commissioning operations.

For our Joint Design office, we are looking to recruit for the role of NI PTLS Engineer.

The position of “Pools Tanks Liners and Sumps (PTLS) engineer” aims at support the field design activities for the discipline on the Nuclear Island (NI) and mainly manage design modification or clarification raised before and during on-site construction.
