We are seeking a dedicated professional to lead the development and delivery of Chemistry, Environment, and Radiological Protection capabilities and arrangements for Hinkley Point C (HPC) plant operations, ensuring alignment with key project milestones. You will ensure the timely availability of procedures, trained personnel, facilities, and equipment. Collaborate closely with other project teams to ensure a seamless transition from construction to nuclear operational readiness. As the Group Head, you will ensure the successful delivery of chemistry, environment, and radiological protection workstreams in line with Pre-Operations and project milestones. This includes managing work schedules to ensure they are detailed, appropriately scoped, and on track. You will oversee budgets to ensure cost-effective delivery and support the team leads in identifying and mitigating key risks in their areas. A critical part of the role will be ensuring the team has the necessary capability and experience to meet project demands through to Commercial Operations.

In addition, you will play a key role in fostering a strong Safety Culture across the organisation, collaborating with other Pre-Operations members to embed it effectively. You will oversee the production of key documentation, ensuring it meets required standards, and work with the Commercial team to develop procurement strategies for essential items. The role also involves ensuring the timely delivery of facilities that meet specifications and coordinating with project teams to manage the seamless transition from Construction to Operational arrangements.

Are you experienced in working in a Technical Environment with strong Leadership and Stakeholder Management skills? Are you seeking an opportunity to enhance your expertise while taking on new challenges? If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where every day brings fresh opportunities to excel, we want to hear from you.

We are looking for an experienced professional with a strong understanding of Chemistry, Environment, and Radiological Protection requirements on a nuclear licensed site. You will have a proven track record of implementing these requirements on operational nuclear power stations and adapting to evolving regulatory needs. A degree (or equivalent) in a science-related discipline is essential, along with experience leading teams—preferably technical teams—and developing and implementing operational arrangements. Familiarity with working alongside regulators and creating, maintaining, and implementing strategies and plans is also required.

It would be advantageous for you to be chartered with a relevant professional body (or equivalent) and have experience leading other leaders. Knowledge of compliance requirements for a nuclear licensed site is highly desirable, as is a strong understanding of the complexities involved in ensuring operational and regulatory excellence.

Alongside a starting salary from £80,000, depending on experience, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal. We're talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. 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.
