Join One of the UK’s Largest Infrastructure Projects

Sizewell C is at the forefront of delivering a cleaner, greener future for the UK. As we continue to build one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the country, we are looking for an experienced Freight and Logistics Integration Manager to play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful coordination and delivery of logistics operations across the programme.

Reporting to the Head of Freight and Logistics, you will act as the operational integration lead for Freight & Integrated Logistics and serve as deputy in their absence. You will ensure logistics activities are visible, coordinated and effectively controlled across a complex network of logistics partners, digital systems, transport modes and site operations.

This is a unique opportunity to influence the delivery of a nationally significant project while working within a highly collaborative and dynamic environment.

The Role

The Freight & Logistics Integration Manager is responsible for ensuring the logistics model operates as a fully integrated system rather than a series of individual workstreams. You will work closely with the Lead Logistics Partner (LLP), Construction Management Office (CMO), Marine Shared Services, rail operations, road transport providers, warehousing teams and programme stakeholders to maintain a controlled and efficient logistics baseline.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide operational oversight of the Lead Logistics Partner contract, ensuring delivery aligns with project objectives, KPIs and service requirements.
• Coordinate interfaces between Site Operations, Delivery Programmes, Marine Shared Services, Rail Operations, road transport, warehousing and freight partners.
• Lead and support logistics coordination forums, ensuring actions are tracked and constraints escalated appropriately.
• Maintain visibility of delivery management, warehousing, transport performance and asset tracking activities.
• Support alignment and data integrity across logistics systems including DMS, WMS, TMS and Logistics Control Tower platforms.
• Integrate logistics activities with Construction Management Office planning and readiness requirements.
• Ensure compliance with DCO, CTMP, vehicle booking, routing, site access and other project governance requirements.
• Identify and manage logistics risks, implementing practical controls and escalating issues where necessary.
• Support governance, stakeholder engagement and commercial forums on behalf of the logistics function.
• Deputise for the Head of Freight & Logistics as required.

About You

You will be an accomplished logistics professional with experience operating within complex infrastructure, construction or supply chain environments.

Essential Experience & Skills

• Significant experience in major project logistics across road, rail and marine transport operations.
• Strong understanding of logistics integration within large-scale construction, engineering or infrastructure programmes.
• Experience managing or supporting Tier 1 logistics contracts and multi-party delivery models.
• Knowledge of warehouse, transport and delivery management systems, including WMS, DMS/TMS and logistics control tower environments.
• Ability to translate programme demand into coordinated logistics plans, sequencing and operational priorities.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills across multiple internal and external interfaces.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present information clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Understanding of construction logistics controls, site access requirements and transport compliance.
• Proven leadership capability, balancing accountability with collaborative working relationships.
• Degree qualification or equivalent experience in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Construction Management, Engineering or a related discipline.
• Ability to obtain and maintain SC Clearance.

Desirable

• Experience within nuclear, energy, defence, rail, marine or other highly regulated industries.
• Knowledge of FORS, CLOCS, ISO14001 and other relevant logistics standards.
• Experience supporting logistics digital transformation or systems integration programmes.
• Working knowledge of NEC contracts and supplier performance management.
• Professional membership in a logistics, transport, supply chain or project management discipline.
• Previous experience on major UK infrastructure or civil engineering programmes.
