This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced IMS, management systems or process professional to take a leading role within one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure programmes.

Sizewell C is a major nuclear new build project in Suffolk which has secured planning approval and Government financing support and is progressing through construction and private investment. Once operational, the project is expected to provide dependable low-carbon electricity to around 6 million homes for 60 years, supporting the UK’s wider ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

As Lead IMS Analyst, you will provide technical expertise and leadership within the Integrated Management System team, supporting the continued development, implementation and maintenance of the SZC management system.

This is a key role within the IMS function, with primary responsibility for developing and refining procedures across the SZC project. You will support the creation of new procedures, as well as the review, update and retirement of existing documentation, ensuring that the IMS remains effective, compliant and aligned with project requirements.

A significant part of the role will involve process modelling and process architecture, working collaboratively with stakeholders across the SZC organisation to ensure that processes are clearly defined, effectively governed and aligned with regulatory and international management system requirements.

• Supporting the IMS in meeting the requirements of relevant regulatory Licence Conditions and international management system standards.
• Ensuring process, safety, compliance and quality requirements are appropriately reflected within IMS procedures.
• Developing and presenting effective KPIs, performance information and progress updates to governance forums and senior stakeholders.
• Supporting the publication of updated IMS procedures and associated process flowcharts.
• Promoting the implementation and adoption of the IMS throughout the business to support key project milestones.
• Providing process modelling expertise and guidance to stakeholders involved in procedure development.
• Maintaining accurate and accessible data and records to support the project.
• Identifying opportunities for continuous improvement across processes and management system documentation.
