The Opportunity

We are looking for a Sustainability Senior Manager to provide analysis, insight, and recommendations to support EDF (UK)’s strategy development. Working with all areas of the UK business and with EDF Group you will be delivering high-value projects and driving the EDF UK sustainability strategy.

Strategy and Sustainability aims to provide exceptional work to support our long-term strategy and sustainability ambitions across multiple business areas, with EDF Group and in support of the UK Executive Team.

Please ensure a cover letter is included within your application when applying, to explain why you would be great for this role.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a salary starting from £73,200 and a market-leading pension scheme, we offer a range of flexible benefits to support our people across all aspects of their lives.

Your rewards package includes a choice of benefits, such as electric vehicle leasing, enhanced parental leave, health insurance, discounts, and employee pricing.

Flexible working means you can work from home (if you wish) and we’ll provide a suite of IT equipment to ensure that you can work remotely comfortably and effectively. Most members of our Sustainability team are based in London, with some travel to other EDF locations.

Dan, Head of Customers Policy & Regulations says ‘You never fully know what to expect when you start a new role but joining the team at EDF has been a hugely positive experience. I have found a team and organisation that is friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Simultaneously they manage to be hard-working, diligent, and focused on delivering the right outcomes for customers and the UK. At a time when many are struggling and the energy sector is under enormous pressure, I have also been hugely impressed with EDF’s approach to looking at its staff, going above and beyond what you may expect elsewhere.’

At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need.

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

You will also support the development of climate change adaptation plans including agreeing project outcomes and ensuring delivery with relevant stakeholders.

Who you are
