Location: Gloucester, England, gb

Job Description

Are you experienced in delivering industrial inspections in complex environments? Confident in developing and deploying inspection equipment, shaping new techniques, and supporting Safety Case documentation? At EDF, Success is Personal – and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, self‑starting Inspection Engineer to join us on a full time basis. As a key member of the Remote Inspection Group within the Structural Integrity Function, you’ll lead the development of remote inspection and intervention equipment, drive innovation in inspection techniques, and provide oversight of inspection activities across our nuclear power stations.

This is an exciting time to join EDF. If this role sounds right for you, we’d love to hear from you.

This role can be based anywhere across our fleet, with travel around a fleet required on a regular basis, so the flexibility to travel is key. You will also be expected to support inspection activities on our operational power stations.

Please note, this role is being offered on a 2-year fixed term contract.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the development of new and existing inspection equipment, including writing safety case documentation and contributing to contract management.
• Providing on-site support during power station outages, helping prepare and deploy inspection equipment.
• Leading inspection activities across the fleet, working directly with station engineers and partner organisations.
• Supporting the qualification, validation and delivery of inspection techniques.
• Travelling to suppliers and specialist facilities as needed to support equipment development and modifications.
• Working in radiological areas and, on occasion, at height, as required by inspection operations.

Who You Are

You’ll bring a passion for inspection technologies and the drive to advance inspection capability across EDF’s fleet. We’re looking for someone who can lead within a multidisciplinary environment and play a key part in managing an extended supply chain.

You will have:

• Experience in industrial inspections and selecting the right equipment and techniques to achieve high‑quality outcomes.
• Strong capability in writing and reviewing technical documents such as procedures, justifications and capability statements.
• Experience in qualifying or validating inspection techniques.
• HNC or equivalent qualification.

Ideally, you will also have:

• Relevant experience in developing inspection techniques or specifying/commissioning new equipment.
• The ability to make risk‑informed judgements balancing safety, technical and commercial considerations.
• Strong relationship‑building skills with internal and external stakeholders.
• The capability to become a classified radiological worker.

A questioning attitude, excellent communication skills and a commitment to high safety and quality standards are essential.

If you have the motivation, drive and commitment to succeed, we want to hear from you.

If successful for the role, you will undergo standard background checks such as employment references and a medical assessment.

Security Vetting

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting (Counter Terrorist Check), which will ordinarily require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.

Pay, Benefits & Culture

We offer a competitive salary between £64,261- £84,595, depending on experience and appointment level, aligned with the Nuclear Generation Company Agreement. This is a full‑time position, but we’re happy to discuss part‑time or job‑share options.

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion — ensuring every individual has a voice and feels confident being themselves. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, including minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. As a Disability Confident employer, we will support adjustments throughout the application process.

We value the unique contribution you bring and provide opportunities for you to thrive.

Applications for this role close on 12th April, with interview to commence w/c 27th April.
