About Sizewell C

Sizewell C is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects, delivering low‑carbon energy for generations. Joining us means contributing to a project of national importance, supporting energy security, regional growth, and long-term skilled employment.

The Opportunity

As Pressure Compliance Lead Engineer, you’ll take responsibility for pressure systems compliance and structural integrity within your allocated scope at Sizewell C. Acting as a recognised subject‑matter expert you’ll ensure all compliance activities are delivered in line with the project’s quality, schedule and cost objectives, reporting directly to the Pressure System Integration and Completions Manager.

You will lead the development and execution of compliance activities across your programme, contributing expertise on pressure systems requirements and associated project policies. The role may include line management of a small team of Mechanical Engineers, and you will work closely with Senior Project Managers, the ONR, third‑party organisations and the wider supply chain to ensure progress remains on track.

Who You Are

We’re looking for a Pressure Compliance Lead who brings strong technical judgement, confidence in a regulated environment and a proactive, delivery‑focused mindset. Do you offer…

• Expertise in pressure systems compliance and structural integrity, including equipment designed to RCC‑M or ASME codes.
• Experience working with regulators and supply chain partners, guiding them through pressure compliance requirements.
• The ability to operate effectively in a multidisciplinary, matrix‑style environment and influence a wide range of stakeholders.
• A practical, can‑do approach with strong communication skills and the awareness to involve technical specialists when needed.
• A degree in an Engineering or Science discipline, with chartership (IMechE preferred).
• Experience on large‑scale projects in highly regulated sectors such as nuclear, power generation or oil & gas, including multicultural project environments.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading pressure systems compliance and structural integrity activities for your allocated programme, ensuring requirements are fully developed and maintained.
• Applying project policies, processes and contracts pragmatically to deliver pressure systems regulatory compliance to the right quality.
• Acting as the technical decision‑maker for your programme on pressure systems regulation and structural integrity matters.
• Managing third‑party task orders and surveillance activities for your scope, ensuring effective oversight and delivery.
• Serving as the first line of escalation for the programmes you support, resolving issues and guiding stakeholders.
• Maintaining SQEP competence and resource levels in line with the nuclear baseline to support safe and compliant delivery.

Contextual Information 

Sizewell C’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Overall, whilst the Company is in the construction phase, the Boards’ principal focus is on the development and construction of Sizewell C on time, on budget and to the highest quality and safety standards. The Company is maturing to meet all these requirements.  

Sizewell C is economically regulated by OFGEM under the RAB model similar to other UK electricity distribution networks and Thames Tideway.  

Sizewell C construction strategy is to replicate the design of Hinkley Point C, using the majority of the same supply chain, but innovating in the way it is delivered to achieve savings in time and cost of around 20%.

The CCO will need to be guided by and incorporate lessons learned from the Hinkley Point C commercial delivery to achieve Sizewell C’s ambition. 

Following Financial Completion and Revenue Commencement, Sizewell C is fully funded and is owned by; The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero representing HM Government, La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure.
