The Opportunity

Are you looking for a career which is rewarding, at the cutting edge of project development and where you can really make a difference? Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) team and work on one of the most exciting and largest megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. Following on from the success of Hinkley Point C (HPC), the SZC Project is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk, which has obtained planning approval and Government financing support. The project is now seeking private investment with a view to start construction in 2024. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

As part of the delivery of the project, Sizewell C will develop a Joint Design Office (JDO) however, in contrast to the HPC approach the JDO function will be delivered on behalf of the SZC client organisation by the Nuclear Services Agreement (NSA) Contractor as a managed service. In order to support the development and subsequent delivery of the NSA, SZC will produce an overarching JDO strategy and detailed set of requirements for implementation by the NSA Contractor, and will perform oversight of the NSA Contractor as the JDO managed services are delivered.

The Role

We now have an exciting opportunity for a Project Engineer to develop the SZC strategy and requirements with respect to the SZC JDO.

You’ll be the point of contact for this area, acting as the subject matter expert. This involve working closely with the SZC Engineering Integration team and colleagues at HPC to identify and impement lessons learned, and working with the NSA contractor to develop a detailed implementation plan for SZC.

Ensuring a ‘best for project’ approach is maintained throughout will be key, as will providing guidance and challenging decisions where appropriate.

The Skills

You’ll be experienced in producing support on and oversight of implementation plans, arrangements and processes, and contract management.

Prior experience of working in a similar role, ideally in the nuclear industry, would be beneficial.

You’ll be an excellent communicator, with the ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders.
