Job Description

 

Location: Astec West, Bristol (hybrid)

 

Ready to shape the way vital engineering knowledge is captured, protected, and shared across some of the UK’s most significant nuclear infrastructure programmes? Step into a role where your expertise in governance, contracts, and structured project delivery helps safeguard the technical backbone of major projects. At EDF, Success is Personal – and your journey is yours to shape.

 

The Opportunity

As an Intellectual Property (IP) Project Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in supporting the transition towards An Electric Britain by ensuring that critical design information, engineering knowledge, and project insights are managed with clarity, rigour, and consistency. Your work will directly strengthen the foundations of the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C programmes, enabling the seamless replication of world‑class nuclear island design across multiple new build projects.

EDF EPR Engineering UK delivers the design for nuclear island buildings, systems, and equipment for Hinkley Point C (HPC) and Sizewell C (SZC). Working as part of an integrated team, EPR Engineering supports construction and commissioning while preparing design‑replication feasibility and related engineering activities.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this hybrid role is based at #AztecWest in #Bristol, offering flexibility while ensuring strong collaboration with colleagues. You’ll typically spend at least part of your week on site with teams, contributing to a dynamic, well‑connected working environment.

Within this role, you’ll broaden your technical and commercial capability while shaping how IP governance and frameworks evolve across two of the UK’s largest infrastructure programmes. You’ll collaborate with contract managers, engineering leads, legal experts, and senior stakeholders, influencing major project outcomes and contributing to the continuity and future replication of nuclear island design as the UK continues its journey towards An Electric Britain.

 

Who You Are

We’re looking for an Intellectual Property (IP) Project Manager with strong project management and contract governance experience, capable of navigating complex engineering environments with confidence and rigour. Do you offer…

• Degree or equivalent in a related field
• Experience in a PMO or contract management role
• Demonstrable experience in contract analysis and contract management
• Proven experience supporting large‑scale engineering or infrastructure projects (e.g., nuclear, rail, energy, or major civil works)

 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Ensuring consistent application of IP policies, frameworks, governance rules, and project processes
• Acting as the primary IP interface across the HPC and SZC programmes, ensuring shared learning and alignment
• Supporting the development, improvement, and operational delivery of IP frameworks across major projects
• Maintaining and tracking central records of IP topics and ensuring timely progression with topic owners
• Developing IP training materials and supporting organisation‑wide capability building

 

Pay, Benefits and Culture

Alongside a starting salary of £55,000–£65,000 per annum, potential for an annual bonus, and a market‑leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
