System Integrator - Waste Systems Team (HPC Project) in Bristol

ARDATEM, founded in 1987 and currently employing around 800 people, is a subsidiary of the Gérard Perrier Industrie Group. ARDATEM operates in the energy sector, working on nuclear plants at various stages: studies, operation, and maintenance and also engages with industrial sites in the fuel cycle, thermal power plants, and research centers.

In 2025, ARDATEM UK Pvt Ltd. has started its operations in the United Kingdom to provide engineering consulting services, particularly in the fields of Control and Instrumentation (C&I), safety and electrical engineering. This includes installation, commissioning, and maintenance, as well as all on‐site activities for the UK nuclear industry.

As part of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) nuclear project, you will join the Configuration Management team within Edvance/EPRe's Technical Direction. You will play a key role in managing and coordinating technical configuration activities, ensuring efficient implementation of the Design Change Process and contributing directly to the project's engineering performance.

As part of the HPC project development, we are seeking a System Integrator to join the Waste Systems Team, which is responsible for the design of effluent treatment systems within the Nuclear Island. The System Integrator acts as a technical and change coordinator, ensuring the effective progress of all configuration‐related activities within the Waste Systems scope.

In this position, the System Integrator will be responsible for defining and cascading project priorities in alignment with key milestones such as equipment contract deadlines, site progress, and commissioning needs. The role involves providing technical support and advice to system engineers and technical leads, while proactively resolving multidisciplinary issues that may arise during the design and implementation phases.

The System Integrator will facilitate coordination with all interfacing disciplines, including layout, civil, contracts, nuclear safety, hazards, electrical, I&C, environment, and commissioning. They will monitor the progress of activities and escalate any blocking points to the relevant stakeholders within the HPC project, such as the Responsible Designer or the Intelligent Customer.

In addition, the role includes organizing and leading the team's participation in relevant committees and design reviews, promoting design stability, and challenging design options or proposed modifications before formal design changes are initiated. The System Integrator must ensure the completeness and consistency of all impacts prior to integrating any design change, while overseeing the timely updates of configuration attributes and specification databases.

Beyond the core duties, the System Integrator will lead and coordinate transversal technical tasks involving multiple systems, either within the Waste Systems scope or across the broader Systems Department. The role also requires close communication and reporting to the HPC Technical Direction, particularly on configuration KPIs, while ensuring that priorities and directives are properly cascaded to the team.

The successful candidate will monitor the maturity of system designs and ensure that all work remains aligned with project requirements. They may also be involved in peer reviews and approvals of updated specification data, ensuring compliance with quality processes and engineering guidelines. All activities must be performed in accordance with established quality standards and procedures. Collaboration with Edvance teams in the UK, France, and Germany will be an integral part of the role, requiring effective communication across different countries and technical contexts.

• Degree in Mechanical or Process Engineering (or equivalent qualification)
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in process engineering or relevant experience on the HPC project
• Proven experience in the nuclear industry
• Strong ability to manage personal and team workload to meet deadlines and KPI objectives
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal, in English
• Proactive and confident in communicating with remote teams and international counterparts (France, Germany, etc.)
• Strong teamwork spirit and a proactive approach to building positive working relationships

• Knowledge of EPR system design principles, Instrumentation and Control architecture, and Safety Classification
• Experience working on an EPR project, operating plant, or industrial site
• Understanding of the effluent treatment systems scope within EPR, particularly waste systems or other BNI systems design
• Continuous improvement mindset and a drive to optimize processes and performance
