Job Description

Civil Engineer Earthworks, Permanent, Aztec West-Bristol, Competitive Salary & Benefits The Opportunity Edvance is a joint venture between EDF and Framatome, an EPCC established in 2018. Edvance UK is the UK branch of Edvance SAS and is currently dedicated to the design of BNI for Hinkley Point C (and preparations for Sizewell C). We are based in a newly refurbished, modern office on Aztec West in Bristol. There are over 300 of us here and we're proud that it can feel like a big multi-cultural family - we have 40 different nationalities. EDVANCE is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C projects. NNB GenCo Ltd plans to build a twin UK EPR unit power station at the Sizewell C site in Suffolk. SZC Co's objective is to deliver an EPR project, safely, efficiently, right first time, with Nuclear Safety being the overriding priority. The project needs to secure and demonstrate value for money for consumers through a very strong management of the copy of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. The SZC strategy is based on a very strong replication of the design built at HPC. This is aligned to the overall project strategy to maximize the opportunity to derive value from a 'Next of a Kind' series effect, duplicating the Hinkley Point C detailed design and adopting a systematic approach to capturing, quantifying and applying lessons learned to SZC. As part of the Responsible Designer for the Sizewell C EPR project, Edvance provides Engineering Design support for the Balance of Nuclear Island (BNI). The BNI design is currently split between the office in Paris and in Bristol and Paris have taken the lead on replication studies that have been undertaken to date. Looking forwards, the project strategy is for the detailed design activities to be carried out in Bristol and there will be a phased handover of work scope that commences in 2020 and is complete by the start of 2021. From 2021 the Bristol office will be wholly responsible for the delivery of the SZC civil engineering (Sequence 3) scope. Activities in support of the SZC project that are to be delivered by the EDVANCE Bristol office in 2020 are as follows: 1. Surveillance of replication study deliverables for the HQC and HXA/HVL buildings being produced by Ingerop. 2. Replication study and Soil-Structure-Interaction Analysis for Pre-stressing Gallery. 3. Draft General Hypothesis Notes and Design Process Notes for the Nuclear Island Buildings. Commence drafting of the Individual Building Hypothesis Notes. 4. Update of the Main Civil Works Technical Specifications for the HK2201 Contract. 5. Determine procurement strategy for 1000 Series Contracts and commence drafting of the associated technical specifications. 6.
