The Opportunity
As a CommOps Fire Safety Team Leader, you’ll play a critical role in preparing Hinkley Point C for commissioning and pre-operations. You’ll lead fire safety management across a complex, high-risk environment, helping keep people safe while supporting EDF’s journey towards An Electric Britain.
You’ll join us on a salary starting of £67,000 per annum, based primarily at the #HinkleyPointC site. This role offers some flexibility for home working or other EDF office locations, balanced with a strong on-site presence to support operational priorities.
Leading a skilled team, you’ll shape fire safety arrangements, influence stakeholders and strengthen a positive fire safety culture. Your work will support regulatory compliance, operational readiness and long-term safety across one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects.

Proven experience leading and implementing Fire Safety Management Systems on nuclear licensed sites
Strong knowledge of UK and international fire safety standards and CDM Regulations
Experience developing and assuring fire risk assessments within high-risk environments
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
