Hvac System Engineer

Aztec West with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.

Are you a qualified engineer? Do you have knowledge of HVAC Design? Are you looking to develop your expertise in the exciting and challenging environment of new nuclear build?

If so, join us as a HVAC System Engineer and you'll join one of the most exciting and ambitious projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK.

The Opportunity...

At Hinkley Point C (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.

EDF EPR Engineering UK (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. Therefore, a Technical Directorate is being created, responsible for the engineering disciplines and technical expertise required to deliver the different engineering projects through integrated teams in EPR-E.

As a System Engineer, you will be responsible for performing the necessary engineering analysis, including the supporting calculations, to produce the system documentation required for the HPC project.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary from £55,000 to £65,000, we offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle, and the opportunity to earn bonus.
