Senior HVAC Systems Engineer

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.

EPR-E is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for 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.

Due to our continuous growth, we are looking to recruit a Senior HVAC System Engineer to support our current projects.  

The Senior HVAC System Engineer will be a part of the HVAC System Engineering Service which consists in and will support all activities performed by engineers in the HVAC Systems team.
