VIE HPC - Assistant Project Manager - Civil Engineering (M/F)

Do you want to develop your career in the nuclear field? Do you want to contribute to the development of innovative solutions to meet complex energy challenges? Do you want to commit to the field of nuclear construction? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you: join us as an Assistant Project Manager - Main Civil Works as part of our VIE program at the Hinkley Point C (HPC) nuclear power plant construction site in England!

The opportunity

The EDF Group is about to make history with the largest global investment in EPR2 technology. As we advance the HPC project in the United Kingdom, France is ready to lead the way with the construction of six advanced reactors in Penly, Gravelines, and Bugey in the coming years. Through our Project Bridge initiative, we promote international skill transfers between the United Kingdom and France.

The VIE program offers a unique opportunity for recently graduated technicians to join the largest construction site in Europe and acquire the necessary skills to help us with the construction of EPR2 in France.

You will be immersed in the HPC project for 1 year, directly on-site or in our offices located in Bridgwater or Bristol. After this year, the goal is to offer you an opportunity to join EDF in France on the EPR2 project in Penly or Gravelines. This is therefore a unique opportunity to be part of a program that allows you to develop skills that you can transpose to EPR2 projects.
