The contract will run for 11 years, with an option to extend for a further four. As per the contract, Amec will work with EDF in France and the UK in the key areas of project management, engineering and construction management.
Amec will also assist the EDF Group project management teams with engineering and site management activities, together with providing specific engineering studies for the non-nuclear sections of plant in the power stations.
Neil Bruce, executive director of Amec, said: “As part of a balanced energy mix, nuclear power will help address the UK’s need for security of supply and reduced CO2 emissions.
“EDF have said they want to have the first of their UK reactors generating electricity by the end of 2017, provided the right investment framework is in place, and Amec’s skills and expertise in the nuclear field can help them achieve that.”
