Help Build the Future of Clean Energy

Sizewell C is one of the UK's most significant and ambitious infrastructure projects, playing a critical role in delivering the nation's energy security and net zero ambitions.

As we continue to mobilise and grow our workforce, we're looking for an experienced, resilient and commercially minded Recruiter to join our Internal Recruitment Team.

This is far more than a traditional recruitment role.

From engineering and construction specialists to corporate and project professionals, you'll influence hiring decisions, shape recruitment strategies, and help build the teams that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities, influencing stakeholders, and navigating a highly regulated environment whilst maintaining an outstanding candidate experience.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in one of the UK's most exciting and nationally significant projects.

Why Sizewell C?

At Sizewell C, you'll be part of a project that will make a lasting contribution to the UK's future. You'll work alongside passionate and talented colleagues, influence hiring at a strategic level, and help build the workforce behind one of the country's most important infrastructure programmes.

This is an opportunity to develop your career whilst contributing to a project of national significance.

Join us and help build the team that's building Britain's energy future.

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. Whilst sponsorship may be a possibility that we can explore, we are fully committed to local recruitment where possible, and those already holding the right to work in the UK.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years
