If you’re looking for an opportunity to influence the future operation of one of the UK’s most important energy projects, we’d love to hear from you. Join Sizewell C and help build the systems, people and processes that will power Britain for generations to come.
When joining Sizewell C, you may wonder why you are contacted by colleagues with an EDF email or see the EDF logo on portals that you access and/or documentation you receive; this is because we have partnered with EDF for the provision of a number of support services whilst we complete a successful transition out of the EDF group.
At Sizewell C we encourage and embrace diversity and how it can improve our experience and performance at work. It is a requirement that those who join us have the right to work in the UK.
