At EDF, Success is Personal – and this role gives you the chance to make a difference in a way that’s meaningful to you.

The Opportunity

As a Radiological Protection Engineer, you’ll support the development of world‑class radiological protection capability across the Hinkley Point C project, from design and construction through commissioning and preparations for operation. You’ll provide expert advice, set standards, and help ensure legal and regulatory requirements are met, while promoting best practice and a strong safety culture that supports our journey towards An Electric Britain.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role is based across #Bristol and #Bridgwater, with regular engagement at the Hinkley Point C site. You’ll work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, from engineering and safety teams to regulators and industry bodies, in a dynamic project environment where flexibility, collaboration and sound judgement are essential.

You’ll also be supported to grow. Whether it’s developing subject‑matter expertise, contributing to industry working groups, or undertaking additional training to strengthen your radiological protection credentials, EDF will help you build a career that develops alongside one of the UK’s most significant energy projects.
