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 the new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C (HPC), the Sizewell C Project (SZC) in Suffolk is the UK’s next nuclear power new build project. The project has obtained planning approval and has started construction works. It has recently achieved Financial Investment Decision (FID) meaning that all the funding for the full lifespan of the project is now secured and in place guaranteeing the full delivery of this new nuclear power station. 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.

The Role You will lead the Diesels Multi-Disciplinary Team consisting of building architects, engineers, schedulers, cost/quality managers, civil construction, MEH (Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC) fitout, partnering with Tier 1 supply chain contractors. You will regularly collaborate with supply chain managers, diesel contract project managers, commissioning, site operations, and regulatory stakeholders. Your role will involve developing an integrated and constructable schedule to mitigate risks to on-site construction and installation activities. You will anticipate, manage, and resolve area-specific issues, identify risks, and escalate critical matters to the Senior Project Manager as needed.

You will develop effective delivery strategies to mitigate cost and schedule challenges, that are harmonious with Sizewell C’s ‘best for Project mindset’. Focusing on medium-term planning, you will ensure construction and installation activities progress without delays. This includes leading discussions on sequencing, managing contractor interfaces, and collaborating across project areas to ensure alignment. Additionally, you will drive continuous improvement by embedding lessons learned and knowledge into daily operations from our sister project Hinkley Point C.

What you’ll bring If you have a background in Building design integration, Construction Design Management (CDM), civil construction/engineering, or mechanical, electrical, systems engineering, for large industrial projects, coupled with a talent for managing complex, multidisciplinary projects, this is your chance to make a real impact. A career with us means embracing challenges head-on and driving forward the future of sustainable energy. If you bring experience in the nuclear industry, have a Chartered Engineer qualification, or hold formal project management certification, you’re already one step ahead. But more importantly, if you are positive, passionate, ambitious, and ready to lead, we want to hear from you.

Essential Skills and Experience Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary design and procurement teams, ensuring delivery milestones are met. Background in mechanical, electrical, process, systems, or civil engineering—preferably within large industrial plant environments. Construction Design Management (CDM), civil construction/engineering experience. Strong understanding of major project complexities, including cross‑functional interface management. Significant experience leading pre‑tender and tender activities for the design, manufacturing, and/or installation of industrial equipment. Excellent communication skills, able to engage effectively with both clients and contractors. Experience in the nuclear sector or in procuring equipment/installation contracts for nuclear power stations is desirable.

Join us and become a leader in transforming the future of nuclear power! If the above sounds like you, then we’d love to hear from you!

Why Join Us? For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fuelled with massive amounts of home-grown energy. Our teams up and down the country are proudly continuing to serve the nation – but they also have an eye on the future. EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education. We’re not just building new nuclear power stations. We’re developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skills areas. It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and although we have thousands of them there’s always a need for more. Our industry has a mind-boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it’s also an industry which is changing. We’re a responsible business and proud to be Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. With size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more.
