The Opportunity...

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Contract Engineering Lead role in Bristol to support Doors and Handling equipment contracts across HPC and SZC scope. This is a valuable and technically stimulating opportunity to work within Edvance UK to support both Hinkley Point C (HPC) and Sizewell C (SZC) which are a vital part of the UK’s future energy strategy. As the first of the UK’s next generation of nuclear power stations, HPC is both of high profile and high complexity.

As the Contract Engineering Lead, you will provide contractual and technical oversight of the contract(s), including the management and coordination of Technical Engineering Leads for each contract and managing the resolution of open-points related to Design, Manufacturing and Qualification. You will be also responsible for keeping the contract at the configuration compliant with the project progress.

You will work closely with the relevant disciplines in Edvance UK and Edvance France but also within the client and the suppliers to ensure the technical requirements are met.
