If so, come and join EDF as a Civil Contract Manager!
The Opportunity
EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is tasked with delivering the design for several nuclear island (NI) buildings, systems, and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project. This involves working through an integrated team, supporting HPC construction and commissioning efforts, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. As a result, a Technical Directorate is being established to oversee the engineering disciplines and technical expertise needed to successfully deliver these projects through EPR-E’s integrated teams.
As a Civil Contract Manager, you will be responsible for managing one or more civil engineering design contracts for the HPC project, working within the HPC Integrated team in Edvance UK (ITB). You will oversee all aspects of the contract, ensuring adherence to technical specifications and that the project meets planned schedules, budgets, and quality standards. You’ll collaborate with civil engineers, scheduling, and cost control teams within EPRe, while also working with the contract holder, the Responsible Designer’s Project Management Office (PMO), procurement, and legal teams. Additionally, you will interface with the Civil teams working on the ITB civil design scope, and engage with various entities within the client organisation, EDF Energy Nuclear New Build (NNB), particularly Civil DMT.
Pay, benefits and culture
Alongside a starting salary of £52,393 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

You will be responsible for resolving contractor technical queries, organising and leading weekly and monthly progress meetings, developing and improving contract tools, and leading contractual discussions and clarifications. You'll also handle the preparation, review, and analysis of Early Warnings and Compensation Events, and validate monthly payment applications.
Additionally, you'll prepare and deliver financial and progress reporting, maintain the contract(s) risk register, and liaise with various entities within the client organisation. You'll conduct quality and financial audits of the contract holder and record and share lessons learned from daily activities while implementing insights from previous projects and contracts.
Who you are
Being a Civil Contract Manager means practical experience in contract management along with a qualification in engineering, construction management, or a related field. You’ll bring expertise in working with contract regulations and related laws, combined with strong negotiation and interpersonal skills.
