Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 15, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 14, 2026.
Ready to shape the design of the next generation of nuclear power stations? Do you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, working across disciplines, and seeing your work contribute to major infrastructure projects? At EDF, Success is Personal. As a Layout Engineer, you'll help deliver critical nuclear engineering solutions while building a career that's unique to you.
The Opportunity
As a Layout Engineer, you'll play a key role in supporting the design and delivery of the nuclear island for Hinkley Point C and the replication of this design for Sizewell C. Working as part of a collaborative engineering team, you'll help ensure complex mechanical, electrical and safety requirements are successfully integrated into plant layouts.
You’ll join us on a salary starting of £48,131 per annum. This is a hybrid role, with an expectation to work three days per week from our #Bristol office at Aztec West, alongside two days working from home or another approved EDF location.
From reviewing engineering inputs and coordinating technical interfaces to supporting 3D model development, you'll contribute to projects that support the transition towards An Electric Britain. You'll also have opportunities to develop your expertise in nuclear engineering, collaborate with international stakeholders and influence the successful delivery of major low-carbon infrastructure.

- Understanding the operation of nuclear power stations and associated nuclear safety requirements
- Reviewing technical information and assessing impacts across multidisciplinary engineering activities
- Working with multiple stakeholders to identify and resolve engineering challenges
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
What You'll Be Doing
- Developing and improving plant layouts through the integration of mechanical and electrical equipment
- Reviewing engineering inputs and ensuring consistency between technical documentation and 3D models
- Supporting the routing and coordination of pipes, HVAC systems and cable trays within complex designs
- Producing technical reports, impact assessments and engineering justification documents
- Managing layout changes and coordinating engineering reviews across multiple disciplines
