• Ability to cope well under pressure and within tight timeframes
• Ability to undertake individual working to a high level of attention to detail
• A Degree or similar qualification in engineering, construction or a related field may be beneficial but is not essential

Security Vetting

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Clearance (SC), which will, ordinarily, require you to have British residency for the last five years. You'll also need the legal right to work in the UK to join EDF.
