Training Instructor

at  EDF Limited

As a Training Instructor, you will be employed within EDF’s Nuclear Skills Alliance (NSA), a collaboration between Nuclear Operations and Nuclear New Build (NNB), providing technical skills and knowledge for various phases of the nuclear lifecycle. You do not need nuclear experience, but strong experience instructing within a complex environment would be beneficial. Think you’re ready to step into the nuclear industry, then apply today!
As well as the technical training required for your role you will also receive training to become a Fleet Certified Instructor (FCI), so while prior experience in training may be beneficial it is by no means essential.
There are three opportunities available: Gloucester Business Park, Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C.
Gloucester Business Park & Hinkley Point C: Reporting into the Eng & Tech Training Group Head, the Training Instructor will be responsible for delivering key engineering and scientific fundamentals training to people across the business.
As well as delivering the training, they will ensure that the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) is applied by regularly evaluating the effectiveness of training courses, acting on trainee feedback and ensuring training materials are kept up to date, ensuring technical accuracy and quality and exploring opportunities to make the training as engaging and rewarding for trainees as possible. They will also be responsible for taking ownership of Training Requests, as well as representing the team in training committee meetings.
Sizewell C: As a key member of the NSA and Sizewell C Training Team, the Training Instructor will be actively involved in all stages of the systematic approach to training using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). You’ll have the opportunity to use your experience to establish the training and competency arrangements for the project.
Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) team and work on one of the most exciting and largest megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. Following on from the success of Hinkley Point C (HPC), the SZC Project is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk, which has obtained planning approval and Government financing support. The project is currently in construction on site at Sizewell. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
