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 Engineering UK is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for the 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.
We are looking to recruit for the role of Piping Discipline Lead to join our Joint Design Office at Hinkley Point C.
The JDO Piping Discipline Lead reports operationally to the JDO Disciplines Manager and functionally to the EPR-E Piping Discipline Manager. The JDO Piping Discipline Lead manages a team made up of staff from EPR-E, HPC, and other partners. They are responsible for the performance of the team and the adequacy of staffing and skills. They have the authority to select, hire, assess, and discharge members of their team, regardless of their mother company.
The Piping Discipline Team is the local point of contact for the management of topics related to piping in the scope of works of EPR-E/EDVANCE/CNEPE, in coordination with HPC Construction and Commissioning Teams. Those topics relate to field events such as clarification requests, adaptation requests, change requests, non-conformance, etc.
In this context, the Piping Discipline Team is responsible for:
Managing requests within their scope of delegated authority.
Detailing, proposing solutions, and coordinating the resolution of requests with staff in the back offices.
Challenging requests and any other topics from the contractors and HPC.
Ensuring that Site Engineering and Construction OPEX is formalized and distributed to other projects within EDF entities.
Acting under delegation of the JDO Disciplines Manager and within their discipline, the JDO Piping Discipline Lead is responsible for:
Approving updates of deliverables previously issued by the back-office teams and updated by the JDO teams.
Ensuring the continuity and consistency of the design modified by the JDO teams.
Ensuring compliance with methods, referential, tools, processes, and delegated authority from the back-office teams.
Safeguarding the interests of EPR-E/EDVANCE/CNEPE in the JDO on a daily basis, particularly regarding topics such as intellectual property and responsibility of EPR-E/EDVANCE/CNEPE following modifications of their design by the JDO teams.
In addition to their participation in the operational management of the JDO as a whole, the JDO Discipline Manager will manage the EPR-E/EDVANCE/CNEPE staff participating in the JDO, either indirectly through the discipline leads.
