Electrical Construction Support Team Lead

Company Description

Job Description

Location: Hinkley Point C site, Bridgwater, Somerset

Grade: C

Salary: from £65,000 depending on experience

Ready to lead electrical engineering delivery on one of Europe’s most complex infrastructure projects, where your decisions directly shape safe, on-time construction? Join a role where you’ll coordinate technical solutions, resolve critical design challenges, and bring clarity across multidisciplinary teams at Hinkley Point C. At EDF, “Success is Personal” — and this is your opportunity to make a tangible impact while growing your leadership career.

The Opportunity

As the Electrical Construction Support Team Lead, you’ll take ownership as the single point of technical authority for resolving electrical engineering challenges across late-stage design and site delivery. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring designs, changes, and technical queries are managed with precision—supporting safe, efficient construction while reducing risk, rework, and delays. Working closely with engineering, design, and construction stakeholders, you’ll drive “best for project” outcomes while contributing to EDF’s journey towards An Electric Britain.

You’ll join us on a salary from £65,000, with the potential for an annual bonus. This role is based across #HinkleyPointC and #Bridgwater, with hybrid working that includes approximately 3 days per week on site, alongside time at the Site Delivery Centre or #Bristol as required.

In this highly visible leadership role, you’ll influence engineering decisions that affect configuration control, design integration, and site readiness. You’ll mentor engineers, coordinate with designers and quality teams, and ensure that technical issues—from design changes to non-conformances—are resolved efficiently. With exposure across the full project lifecycle, this role offers the opportunity to deepen your technical expertise while developing leadership capability in a complex, regulated environment.

Who You Are

We’re looking for an Electrical Construction Support Team Lead with strong technical expertise and proven experience delivering within complex, regulated project environments. Are you experienced in…

• Delivering electrical engineering solutions within large-scale, complex or regulated projects (e.g., nuclear, energy, infrastructure)
• Managing design change processes, configuration control, and technical queries (e.g., NCRs, RFIs, design changes)
• Coordinating across multidisciplinary stakeholders including design, construction, and quality teams
• Conducting technical reviews of electrical documentation, diagrams, and design deliverables
• Identifying and mitigating engineering risks, issues, and programme impacts
• Holding a degree or equivalent knowledge in electrical engineering (or related discipline), with chartered status or working towards it

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading resolution of electrical engineering issues across design, configuration, and site delivery phases
• Managing design changes, open points, and technical queries to ensure timely project delivery
• Acting as the key interface between engineering, design authorities, and construction teams
• Overseeing configuration control and ensuring compliance with project processes and standards
• Supporting and mentoring the electrical engineering team while driving performance and prioritisation

Pay, Benefits and Culture

Alongside a salary starting from £65,000, potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.

At EDF, we believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we offer you the freedom to develop a career that’s unique to you. Here, Success is Personal – it’s your journey, powered by us.
