Plant Layout Engineer

Aztec West, Bristol with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office with occasional travel to France.

Are you an enthusiastic Engineer looking for the next step in your career? Are you experienced in the in one or several areas of engineering: piping engineering, mechanical, HVAC, safety? Are you the type of person who likes a fast-paced environment and likes to be challenged?

If so, join us as a Plant Layout 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) established in 2023, oversees the design (basic design) and the realisation (studies, procurement, erection, testing and commissioning) of nuclear islands for new projects.

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 Plant Layout Engineer, you will be responsible for the input of data for the layout engineering of the building and to improve and modify designs. In this role you will be producing technical documents and issuing layout drawings to various teams.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of building one of the largest, most complex projects in Europe.

Pay, benefits and culture…

Alongside a salary from £45,000 to £55.000, 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. 

At EDF, everyone’s welcome.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need. 

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

What you’ll be doing…

• Inputting data for the layout engineering of the building (process & instrumentation diagrams, equipment data, cable lists, electrical load lists, etc.), analysing and verifying technical consistency.
• Implementing various mechanical and electrical equipment within the building design.
• Routing design pipes, HVAC ducts and electrical cable trays in the 3D model, supported by a dedicated CAD team.
• Ensuring consistency between the process & instrumentation diagrams and the 3D model.
• Producing technical documents (progress reports, status reports, equipment introduction notes, change impact analyses, design procedures, etc).
• Issuing layout drawings to various teams and coordinating layout activities, ensuring compliance with the layout rules.
• Managing and monitoring the modifications requested by the various engineering teams.
• Anticipating and escalating technical open points.
• Preparing layout engineering reviews (with all the engineering teams involved).
• Supporting execution design companies in the production of deliverables for manufacturing.

Who you are…

Your background may include some of the following:

• Experience in one or several areas of engineering: piping engineering, mechanical, HVAC, safety.
• Degree qualified in appropriate technical discipline.
• Good knowledge and understanding of general layout rules for an industrial project.
• Knowledge of the general operation of a nuclear power station and the associated safety aspects.
• Confident highlighting issues and bringing a wide range of stakeholders together to find pragmatic resolutions.
• Enjoys a challenging technical environment with multiple and urgent demands.
• Ideally previous experience in nuclear and PWRs.
