Project Manager

SEIC, Bridgwater - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.

Are you an experienced Project Manager with a passion for delivering complex engineering projects in regulated environments? Do you have a strong background in project and commercial management? Do you have strong stakeholder engagement and problem-solving skills? If so, come and join EDF as a Project Manager!

The Opportunity

As a Project Manager – Pumps (Turbine Programme), you’ll lead the delivery of assigned work packages within the Conventional Island (CI) Programme of HPC, ensuring alignment with the wider Project. You’ll oversee the full lifecycle of pump-related activities—spanning engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction, and commissioning—ensuring they’re delivered safely on time, to budget, and to the required quality standards.

Reporting to the Senior Project Manager for Design & Manufacturing (Turbine Programme), you’ll coordinate with EDF’s Responsible Designer and the equipment supplier to manage input and detailed designs. You’ll play a key role in driving effective planning and stakeholder collaboration to meet the needs of the overall Project.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a starting salary of £65,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.  

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you’ll be doing

As Project Manager, you’ll oversee the successful delivery of a defined contract or work package, ensuring it aligns with the wider programme objectives. This includes planning and executing activities in line with the Programme Execution Plan (PEP), covering all aspects of scope, cost, quality, safety, and schedule. Maintaining accurate progress tracking, managing risks, and keeping stakeholders informed will be key to ensuring on-time, high-quality delivery.

The role involves close coordination with suppliers and contractors to resolve technical queries, manage contract changes, and ensure all deliverables meet nuclear safety standards. You’ll be expected to oversee manufacturing progress, address non-conformances, and ensure smooth logistics and scheduling. Utilising tools such as the Schedule Tracker, you’ll help maintain alignment with the overall project timeline and drive performance through accurate reporting and data-led decisions.

Beyond day-to-day delivery, you’ll champion continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned and applying best practices across the team. You’ll be reviewing contractor schedules, and fostering strong working relationships across functions will be essential. This role also provides an opportunity to influence the wider programme through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and proactive problem-solving.

Who you are

You’ll have a strong track record of delivering complex projects in highly regulated environments. You’ll demonstrate exceptional project management, financial oversight, and change management skills, supported by solid numerical and analytical capabilities. Experience in handling commercial claims and contract negotiations is essential, and a background in engineering—ideally mechanical—will support your technical understanding.

You’ll have a proven ability to lead projects through their full lifecycle, from concept to handover, in technically demanding settings where safety, environmental responsibility, and security are paramount; ideally within the nuclear or a similarly regulated sector. Familiarity with centrifugal pumps, motors, and variable speed gearboxes, and the ability to communicate in French would be a desirable.

We’re looking for someone with excellent stakeholder engagement skills who can build strong relationships across all levels, including with contractors, consultants, and regulatory bodies. Strong communication, facilitation, and influencing abilities are key, along with the confidence to manage cross-functional teams and keep project objectives on track through clear planning and effective leadership.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!

Closing date for applications: 23rd April 2025
