Job Description

Ready to use your environmental expertise to help shape one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects? At EDF, Success is Personal.

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, contractors and regulators, you'll influence environmental outcomes across a complex and highly regulated project. You'll have the opportunity to broaden your expertise, contribute to environmental design assurance activities and support key regulatory and permitting processes that help keep the project moving forward safely and responsibly.
