• Gain experience in procurement and financial processes for external advisors.
• Contribute to governance and health & safety compliance, including drafting reports and documentation.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and risk management activities.
• Collaborate with internal teams to align land commitments and resolve conflicts.
• Apply and develop knowledge of landlord and tenant law and property valuation.
• Help maintain and improve our land and property database.
• Build strong relationships across project teams to support successful delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• A genuine interest in infrastructure, commercial/agricultural property, and land acquisition.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• A team player with a proactive mindset and willingness to learn.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• A degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Land Management).

• Paid holidays and flexible benefits such as a company incentive bonus plan, health cover, cycle to work scheme, discounts and employee pricing.

Additional Information

Join the team at Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain. It’s not every day you get the opportunity to shape the working culture of what will be one of Europe’s largest construction projects, while also helping Britain to reach its target of Net Zero emissions by 2050. The UK is experiencing a nuclear renaissance and Sizewell C – along with its sister project at Hinkley Point C in Somerset – is powering the change. We’re ramping up at pace as we look ahead to the Financial Investment Decision in early 2025, and the start of construction soon after. With government fully on board and public opinion shifting significantly in favour of nuclear, there’s never been a better time to join our project.
