Join a team where your expertise can help shape the safe and responsible delivery of one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects. At EDF, Success is Personal. As an Independent Assessor, you'll provide independent challenge, assurance and insight across specialist nuclear disciplines, helping to maintain the highest standards of safety, compliance and operational excellence.
The Opportunity
As an Independent Assessor specialising in Radiation Protection, Radiography, Emergency Preparedness and Radiation Waste Management, you'll play a vital role in strengthening assurance across Hinkley Point C. Through independent assessments, you'll help identify opportunities for improvement, support regulatory confidence, and contribute to safe and effective project delivery as we continue our journey towards An Electric Britain.
You'll join us on a salary starting of £65,000 per annum, with the potential for an annual bonus. This is a site-based role at #AztecWest in Bridgwater, with occasional travel to #HinkleyPointC in Bristol to collaborate with environmental and corporate specialists.
Working alongside senior leaders, technical experts and regulatory stakeholders, you'll influence decision-making across complex nuclear operations. You'll have the opportunity to provide independent challenge, present findings to senior management, and contribute to continuous improvement across one of Europe's largest nuclear construction projects.

- Applying knowledge of Nuclear Site Licence requirements, Environmental Permits and relevant Health and Safety legislation
- Conducting assessment, assurance, audit or oversight activities relating to Nuclear Safety, Health and Safety, Environmental or Security disciplines
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
What You'll Be Doing
- Conducting independent assessments of business processes, governance arrangements and operational practices
- Identifying findings, opportunities and insights that support continuous improvement across the project
