Description du poste

The Opportunity

Launch your business career with our customised 2-year training programme! You will rotate through exciting placements that are designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.

You will learn from our experts, gain valuable experience, build your confidence and have the support of a career line manager and placement manager, mentor and buddy throughout your time on the programme.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Nuclear Business Graduate at Sizewell C, you will gain hands‑on experience, develop technical and professional skills, and contribute to meaningful projects that support the UK’s journey to net zero.

Sizewell C Workforce & Skills (EAU) is a function within the People Directorate that provides leadership, governance and assurance across the project People Requirements, ensuring that we have the people, skills, culture and employment frameworks necessary to achieve safe, productive and successful delivery of the project.

Based within the Workforce Contract Performance team in the Workforce & Skills (EAU) function, you can expect to work with key stakeholders across the project and its supply chain on activities designed to ensure:

Our People Requirements are incorporated into each stage of our procurement processes and embedded in all new contract awards as required

Contractors have a detailed understanding of our People Requirements and the level of contribution they will be required to make in support of the project’s People related targets and commitments

Contractors develop and maintain adequate plans to deliver against these requirements, commitments and targets

Contractor performance against plan is monitored, with variance identified and acted upon as part of regular contractor performance management activity

Delivery of planned activity supports the delivery of the wider project People Requirements

Day to day activities should therefore be expected to be quite wide ranging. A typical day could see you:

Working with colleagues in our commercial and sustainability teams to review and score contractor tender responses

Joining a Contractor Mobilisation meeting on behalf of the EAU to confirm if a Contractor has met all our pre‑requisites before commencing work on site

Supporting colleagues to deliver an introductory briefing to new contractors, introducing the role of the EAU and ensuring shared understanding of contract deliverables

Analysing performance data to assess Contractor performance against key metrics in preparation for a monthly contractor performance management review meeting

Providing feedback into a regular Process Review meeting to support EAU continuous improvement activity

At the end of the graduate programme, we’ll support you in deciding how you want to progress your career within Sizewell C.

Whilst you will be based at at Orwell Logistics Park, Ipswich with placements of up to 6 months, you may also be required to travel to another location for your placements, to support other business units and to expand your knowledge and experience of the Nuclear Industry.

Who You Are

To be eligible for this Sizewell C graduate programme, you will need to have achieved, or be expecting to achieve, a Bachelor’s or Masters degree (2:2 or higher) in disciplines such as Finance, Business, Economics, Politics, Energy & Sustainability and Data Analytics.

We are looking for people with a genuine interest in nuclear energy and a passion for sustainability and being a part of making a difference. We will need you to be open minded, flexible and have an agile way of thinking to succeed in a dynamic fast paced project environment.

You will also need to have a strategic mindset that brings innovative ideas. Effective interpersonal skills are key, as well as being able to demonstrate high ethical behaviour, integrity, humility, and character. Effective communication skills will be required to manage your stakeholders whilst prioritising competing demands.

We name trade offs openly rather than smoothing them over

We treat bad news as valuable information
