This landmark power station will generate low‑carbon electricity for six million homes, securing the UK’s energy future for at least the next 60 years.
The Senior Process & Accountability Lead will lead the design and mapping of CWA’s key processes, turning them into clear, visual flows and practical “how to” guidance within the Integrated Management System. They will define and maintain accountability frameworks (such as Linear Responsibility Matrices) to clarify who is responsible for what across delivery sections, functions and key stakeholders. A core part of the role is to drive implementation and adoption of these processes and accountabilities, ensuring they are understood, used and embedded in day‑to‑day delivery. The role will also lead and facilitate cross‑functional workshops, tracking process development progress, surfacing issues and opportunities of CWA’s ways of working.

- Drive adoption and integration of processes and accountability frameworks across the CWA—your work will be embedded in our daily operations.
- Facilitate workshops that unite diverse stakeholders and enable strategic alignment.
- Constantly seek out and implement opportunities for improvement, keeping us at the forefront of best practice.
What We're Looking For
- A BSc degree in engineering or science.
- Experience operating within large, complex organisations.
- Broad knowledge of key business functions—Finance, Health & Safety, ESG, Project Controls, Commercial, HR—as well as delivery areas like Pre‑construction and Logistics.
- A proven ability to develop and present process controls, including mapping ownership through RACI or similar frameworks.
- Confident in using visual management tools (such as Visio) to translate information into clear, accessible formats.
- Outstanding facilitation and interpersonal skills.
- Additional qualifications in LEAN, AGILE or Change Management are highly desirable.
