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.

We're now looking for a Head of Documents and Records to lead a growing team of Record Leads and Document Controllers to ensure overall compliance with nuclear industry and major project best practice in documented information and records management of all activities across the Sizewell C project organisation.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the expanding Sizewell C team. If you're an experienced IM Manager, Head of IM, or Head of Information Systems who has worked on complex, fast-paced, large-scale infrastructure projects, this could be the ideal next step in your career.

Responsibilities:

• As Head of Documents and Records, you will work to ensure that the documented information and records management arrangements and requirements are clearly communicated for effective deployment by the organisation and its supply chain.

Who You Are:

• Proven ability to lead large Quality teams and promote collaborative, cross-functional working.
