Looking for an exciting opportunity in the nuclear industry for HPC Project or Sizewell C Project? This offer is made for you! We are seeking talented engineers who want to work on the biggest projects and are not afraid of new challenges.



EXPERTISE:

The focus of this role is to work on the Turbine Hall Crane and Polar Crane and the responsibilities will be delivering manufacturing support for the new equipment; commissioning on site after installation; and the provision of safety case support through this process.


Requirements:

3 Engineers to support Lifting and Mechanical Handling

1 Radioactive Waste Engineer

Have a minimum of baseline security vetting.


Location: close to the HPC / Bristol / Gloucester areas are preferred


SCOPE – LIFTING:

Delivering manufacturing support for the new equipment.

During manufacture, the engineers will be responsible for ensuring that all equipment being produced is in accordance with British Regulations and has the required safety case validation to support this.

Requests for change will be handled to ensure that the design intent is maintained through any deviation requests; Non-conformances will similarly be reviewed to ensure the continuity of baseline design requirements through the rectification of any issues.


Commissioning on site after installation:

Commissioning support is required to ensure that the operational system meets all the original requirements. This will include:

- Verification that the commissioning documentation is to the right standard and contains a demonstratable golden-thread from the original requirements through to the testing plans.

- Reviews are expected on a sample of the documentation, rather than on a 100% basis.

- Sentencing of commissioning non-conformances and the oversight of solutions to maintain design intent.

- On site support for periods during commissioning to enable expedited responses.

Onsite commissioning at HPC is planned for 2027.


Provision of safety case support through this process.

The engineers will have a responsibility to ensure that the safety case is adhered to, and any amendments required are identified to allow completion.


SCOPE – WASTE

Engineers are required to have experience in the mechanical handling of waste materials.



REQUIRED CRITERIA:

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • 3 to 6 years of experience in Lifting operations and supervision of safe lifts
  • Nuclear Waste or other regulated industry
  • Experience in the design and justification of equipment
  • Knowledge of standards such as Gantry Cranes
  • Delivering manufacturing support for the new equipment
  • Commissioning on site after installation
  • Knowledge of British Regulations


DESIRABLE :

  • Experience with HPC or other EPR projects
  • Knowledge or existing access to EDF systems would be an advantage
  • Ability to meet commitment and deadlines
  • Excellent Interpersonal and organisational skills and writing abilities

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
