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 has started construction and is now seeking private investment. 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.

This is your opportunity to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, drafting high-stakes contracts, managing interfaces, and integrating vital design changes. You’ll engage early with suppliers, mitigate risks, and ensure that our lessons from previous projects are captured and applied. You’ll be pivotal in ensuring the seamless execution of contracts, managing costs, risks, and schedules with finesse, and maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.

With our flexible, hybrid working model, you’ll enjoy the balance of working between our offices and from home, supported by a full suite of IT equipment to ensure you’re set up for success.
