Job description

About the role

SZC is owned by two shareholders, Electricité de France (EDF) and His Majesty's Government (HMG). The shareholders hold their investment through NNB Holdings Company (SZC) Limited. The shareholdings will change over time.

The shareholders will fund SZC until Financial Close through equity, following the approved schedule and budget. SZC's business involves designing, financing, constructing, commissioning, operating, maintaining, and decommissioning the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. This includes activities related to hydrogen, direct air capture, and desalination.

The current development phase aims to finalize the Capital Raise Plan, complete equity and debt raises, agree on core supply chain contracts, and obtain necessary regulatory permits and licenses for construction.

Before the government investment decision, SZC operated as part of EDF's Nuclear Development business, staffed by EDF colleagues and contractors, now transitioning to direct employment. The organization is establishing itself to deliver a new nuclear power plant, from investment to decommissioning.

The construction program is based on the technical and commercial model of Hinkley Point C, with EDF serving as a key nuclear capability provider within the UK.

Key stakeholders include HMG, government departments, EDF, financial investors, regulators, alliance partners, and local communities.
