Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater. Minimum of 3 days per week on site, with fleet-wide travel required.

Are you experienced in
mechanical engineering and looking for your next
opportunity? Are you looking for a role where you can
facilitate growth and knowledge and make a
major impact on the
performance of the organisation? Do you want to be part of a team with a wide variety of
skills and
knowledge that will
support you in your role?

If so, join us as a
Mechanical Instructor, 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, providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.

As the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK, the success of HPC will require the continuous professional development of the workforce.

As a
Mechanical Instructor, you will form part of the Nuclear Skills Alliance (NSA), and once qualified you will be responsible for the development and delivery of mechanical instruction and training.

In your role, you will be using both classroom and simulated environments to ensure accuracy of material, adherence to the training standards / procedures, and excellence in quality of delivery.

Travel to deliver fleet-wide training is required, to ensure personnel across Nuclear New Build and Nuclear Operations have the required knowledge to carry out their roles to a high level.

Previous experience in an instructor or training role is advantageous - but not essential as full training will be provided.

Most importantly, we want to see a passion for Mechanical Engineering and an enthusiasm to take your career to the next level by training the next generation of our workforce

At EDF, everyone's welcome.

We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself.

We're committed to equality, 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'll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.
