Job Description
Gloucester Business Park, Gloucester or Atlantic Quay, Glasgow - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 2/3 days a week in the office.
Are you a motivated and curious engineer? Do you have experience or interest in diesel engines and emergency generation? Are you looking to develop your expertise while supporting EDF’s fleet of power stations across the UK? If so, come and join EDF as an Emergency Diesels Engineer within our Nuclear Services Organisation, based in Gloucester or Glasgow with opportunities for home working and travel across the fleet!

You’ll provide technical authority and expert advice on the design, operation, maintenance, and optimisation of emergency diesel generators, with the potential to expand into gas turbine emergency generation systems. Initially supporting new build projects, this role will develop into a long-term asset support position, offering opportunities to shape operational practices across the fleet.
You’ll be responsible for delivering operational support and fault-finding expertise during emergent issues or breakdowns, as well as providing live support to permit the safe return of major plant to service. You’ll also contribute safety case knowledge, ALARP optioneering, and risk-informed decision making, ensuring compliance with technical standards and governance requirements.
You’ll monitor asset performance and plant degradation to highlight risks and optimise outage work-scopes, whilst championing best practices from within EDF and the wider industry. You’ll also act as an expert witness, support acceptance and surveillance activities, and can grow deep technical expertise across a broad range of power plant assets.

TO BE APPOINTED TO THIS ROLE, YOU WILL NEED TO MEET THE CRITERIA FOR COUNTER TERRORIST CHECK (CTC) WHICH WILL, ORDINARILY, REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE BRITISH RESIDENCY FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS.
