Helping us to navigate a strategic path through the often complex frameworks that form part of the energy industry are EDF’s legal, strategy and compliance professionals.
The scale of offshore wind is immense – and it’s an ever-changing industry; nothing stands still.
I’ve worked with policy experts, chemists, engineers, safety and environmental experts, finance and medical experts. At EDF I get to solve problems with people at the top of their field.
What projects could I work on at EDF?

Join our Generation Legal Team
EDF is leading the transition to a cleaner, low emission electric future, tackling climate change and helping Britain achieve Net Zero. Around a fifth of the UK's electricity is generated by our eight nuclear power stations, helping power our customers' homes and businesses.
Susie Lind (Legal Affairs Director) shares what it’s like to work in the Generation Legal team: “We’re proud to provide legal support to the largest portfolio of generation assets in the UK. We deal with a broad range of matters, on existing and future generation opportunities, and our straightforward, pragmatic approach makes working here fun and rewarding. We love to visit our power stations to get to know our business colleagues and see them in action. If you love a challenge and a wide variety of work, our team could be the place for you.”

The Green Recovery
In November 2020 10 Downing Street released a Ten Point Plan for a Green Recovery in the UK. EDF fully backs this plan with our exciting nuclear development project, Hinkley Point C, creating jobs across the UK and having the ability to power millions of homes with low carbon electricity. Sizewell C is ready to do the same.
Here’s how EDF’s UK CEO, Simone Rossi, responded to the announcement: “The Government announcement is a game changer and we are right behind it. We have a huge contribution to make across nuclear, wind, solar, storage, hydrogen, electric heating, energy saving and electric vehicles. Hinkley Point C is providing £14 billion of work to the UK supply chain and Sizewell C is ready to create great jobs across the country now.”
