Job description

About the role

SZC is ultimately owned by two shareholders, Electricité de France (EDF) and His Majesty's Government (HMG). The shareholders hold their investment in SZC through NNB Holdings Company (SZC) Limited. Over the course of the current shareholding arrangements, the shareholdings of the two shareholders will change.

The shareholders will fund SZC up until Financial Close through equity in line with the approved schedule and budget. SZC’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure (including activities relating to hydrogen, direct air capture, and/or desalination) at Sizewell C in Suffolk. The principal objectives of the current development phase of the SZC project are to agree and implement the Capital Raise Plan, including completing an equity and debt raise, agree the core supply chain contracts, and obtain the regulatory permits and licences required for the construction phase of the Project (including the core environmental permits and nuclear site licence).

Prior to the government investment decision, SZC operated as part of EDF in the Nuclear Development business unit and was staffed by EDF colleagues and independent contractors who are now in the process of transferring to the direct employment of SZC. It is establishing itself as an organization capable of delivering a new nuclear power plant, from investment case and funding to construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance, and decommissioning.

The SZC construction programme is based on a technical and commercial business case predicated on replicating Hinkley Point C. EDF will be an important supplier of nuclear capability for the SZC Programme from its established nuclear business footprint in the UK.

Key stakeholders include: HMG, relevant Government departments and agencies including Treasury, BEIS, EDF, financial investors and institutions, regulators, alliance partners, and local communities.

What you'll be doing

The Sizewell C (SZC) project requires a Marine Section Engineer to support the wider Engineering and Technical team in developing construction methods, temporary & permanent works design inputs, and onshore support hub establishment for offshore installation of Reinforced Concrete (RC) permanent works structures in the North Sea.

Working within the Technical team of the Marine and Tunnels portion, the candidate should have a flexible approach, adaptability to change, and willingness to relocate or travel as needed. The role requires strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships across all levels. A proactive, self-motivated attitude and the ability to work independently and influence decisions are essential.

• Accountable for a section of Marine Works related to the Marine & Tunnels portion, responsible for planning, coordination, compliance, site investigations, design review, procurement, risk assessment, quality assurance, technical support, and reporting.
• Manage and support marine/site engineers reporting to them.
