Here, we provide more than just a job; we offer an opportunity to make a difference and shape the world for future generations and the environment.

Working within Nuclear and Power, Power New Build group, you will be an integral part of delivering exciting large nuclear new build projects such as Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C, and a variety of other major upcoming prospects. Join us as a Spare Engineer and play a key role in shaping the future of Hinkley Point C (HPC). You'll be part of a dynamic team delivering strategic solutions for spare parts management, obsolescence, and standardisation—critical to the success of one of the UK's most significant nuclear projects.

As a Spare Engineer, you will be part of the Comm Ops Supply Chain Team, embedded within the HPB Comm Ops Department Maintenance Programme. This team is responsible for executing maintenance strategies for HPC during both the project phase and future plant operations. You'll be based out of our Bristol and Bridgwater offices, with potential travel to the HPC site as required.

This is a hybrid role, offering flexibility to combine remote and office‑based work.
