Ready to shape major infrastructure that powers Britain’s future? As an Assistant Project Manager in Civils, you’ll support complex delivery at one of Europe’s largest construction programmes, building skills and impact every day. At EDF, Success is Personal.
The Opportunity
As an Assistant Project Manager (Civils), you’ll play a key role within multi-disciplinary teams delivering critical packages at Hinkley Point C.

You’ll need to offer business-level proficiency in French communication skills.
From stakeholder engagement to reporting, you’ll gain exposure across the full project lifecycle. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, develop your technical and commercial awareness, and build a strong foundation for progression within EDF’s nuclear new build programme.
