Why this role matters

This role will play a key part in shaping how the Technical Directorate operates. You’ll help create clarity, improve ways of working, and ensure the function is well connected, visible and trusted across the wider project.

It’s an opportunity to step into a role with real variety, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the chance to make a tangible impact from day one.

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
