People Project Manager Governance (Felixstowe, GB, IP10 0DD)

What if your next role wasn't about working within an established assurance environment, but helping to build and strengthen one?

Sizewell C is one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects. As our organisation develops, so too must the governance, controls and assurance surrounding how we operate.

We're looking for an experienced People Governance & Assurance Manager

to work across our People function, helping us ensure that the frameworks and controls we have in place don't simply exist on paper, but are understood, evidenced and operating effectively in practice.

This isn't a conventional HR role. And it isn't a conventional Project Manager position.

We're particularly interested in people who have operated within highly regulated, controlled or scrutinised environments and who understand what good governance, compliance, control and assurance really look like.

People Governance & Assurance Manager

Location: London/ Ipswich/ Suffolk

Contract: Permanent, full-time. 

Closing date: Tuesday 24th November 2026

What’s in It for You

Salary: Circa £75,000 depending on experience

Bonus: 5% annual incentive

Pension: Up to 7.5% employee / 15% employer contribution
Leave: 28 days holiday plus bank holidays

The opportunity

Working closely with colleagues across Governance, Compliance and the wider People function, you'll provide evidence-based assurance that our key controls and processes are robust and working as intended.

You'll conduct structured self-assessments ahead of more formal audit activity, examining processes against established frameworks, identifying what evidence should exist, testing that evidence and assessing whether controls are appropriately designed and operating effectively.

Where gaps exist, you won't simply report them. You'll help translate findings into practical improvements, establish remediation plans, monitor progress and work constructively with colleagues to ensure actions are delivered.

Alongside our ongoing assurance programme, you'll also take ownership of selected governance and control-related projects across the People function, such as business continuity and crisis management arrangements, and support the implementation of new processes where regulatory or compliance requirements demand them.

What you'll be doing

You'll have a broad remit, including:

Designing and delivering a structured programme of self-assessment and assurance activity across key People processes.
Assessing processes against established governance, compliance and control frameworks.
Determining appropriate evidence requirements and testing whether controls are operating effectively in practice.
Sampling evidence, identifying control gaps and documenting clear, defensible conclusions.
Translating assurance findings into practical recommendations and remediation actions.
Tracking agreed actions through to completion and escalating material or unresolved issues appropriately.
Working closely with Governance, Compliance, Risk, Audit and Assurance colleagues to ensure that People processes stand up to internal and external scrutiny.
Supporting assurance and audit readiness across areas that may include employment compliance, right-to-work controls, risk management and wider People governance.
Owning specific governance and control-related projects, including the implementation and ongoing review of business continuity arrangements.
Producing concise, high-quality papers, briefings and presentations for senior stakeholders and wider audiences.
Helping colleagues understand their responsibilities through clear guidance, communication and, where appropriate, training.
Building assurance into the way we work, so that controls are sustainable and subject to continuous review and improvement.

What we're looking for

This is not a traditional HR position.

Your experience might have been gained in financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy, nuclear, defence, major infrastructure or another highly regulated environment where control, evidence and regulatory scrutiny are part of everyday business.

What matters is that you can demonstrate where you have personally operated within governance, compliance, controls or assurance.

You'll need to demonstrate:

Strong practical experience within assurance, controls, governance and/or compliance in a regulated or highly controlled environment.
Clear examples of where you have personally established, assessed or improved governance and control arrangements.
The ability to assess whether controls are appropriately designed and operating effectively, using credible evidence rather than assumption.
Experience identifying weaknesses and translating findings into proportionate remediation and improvement.
Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to evidence, documentation and follow-through.
The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and ensure actions are delivered.
Confidence working with senior stakeholders and the judgement to know when an issue requires recommendation, remediation or escalation.
The ability to turn complex findings into concise, accessible papers, briefings and presentations for different audiences.
A collaborative approach. You'll apply scrutiny and rigour, but do so in a way that helps busy colleagues improve rather than simply adding another layer of process.

You do not need to be an HR specialist. What is more important is strong assurance capability, professional judgement and the ability to apply that expertise within the People environment.

It would be particularly useful if you have

Experience of formal control testing, self-assessment or audit-readiness programmes.
Experience working alongside Internal Audit, Risk or independent Assurance teams.
Exposure to shareholder, regulatory or industry requirements and the evidence needed to demonstrate effective compliance.
Experience in nuclear, infrastructure, energy or another heavily regulated industry.
Experience delivering governance or control improvement projects.
Experience producing material for Executive, Committee or other senior governance forums.

What success will look like

Within your first year, you'll have helped us create a structured and sustainable People assurance approach.

Key People controls will have been assessed against clear evidence requirements. Gaps will be understood, remediation will be underway or complete, and we will have greater confidence that our governance and compliance arrangements operate effectively in practice.

Most importantly, you'll help create an environment where assurance isn't something we prepare for just before an audit. It becomes part of how we work, evidence, review and continuously improve our controls.

Sizewell C Limited (Sizewell C) is nuclear site licensed company whose business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk.  Sizewell C was formerly under the majority ownership of the EDF Group but is currently majority owned by HM Government and operates as an independent company. EDF remains a key shareholder in Sizewell C and the business therefore maintains close links to EDF as a part of its ‘nuclear family’. 

As a Sizewell C employee, 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. 

Site Delivery Director (Leiston, GB, IP16 4EW)

Help deliver a project of national significance. Lead the site that will shape the future of UK nuclear and major infrastructure delivery.

Sizewell C is entering one of the most important phases in its journey, and we are looking for an exceptional Site Delivery Director to lead the planning, coordination and delivery of construction activity across the Sizewell C site.

This is not simply a senior construction leadership position. It is an opportunity to play a defining role in the delivery of one of the UK’s largest, most complex and most closely scrutinised infrastructure programmes.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, you will be accountable for the site delivery of Sizewell C, bringing together programmes, engineering, construction, commercial, project controls, contractors and supply chain partners to create a genuinely integrated delivery organisation.

You will lead the Site Delivery organisation and hold accountability for a £3.2bn Site Delivery budget across the life of the project, operating in an environment where safety, quality, schedule, cost, productivity and value for money are paramount

Closing date for applications - Tuesday 17th November 2026

The opportunity

Sizewell C has an ambition not just to build another nuclear power station, but to lead the way in how major nuclear and infrastructure projects are delivered in the UK.

Building on the design and lessons of Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C is seeking to innovate in delivery, increase productivity, expand the use of off-site manufacturing and modern methods of construction, and achieve significant improvements in time and cost.

As Site Delivery Director, you will be at the centre of that ambition.

You will set the conditions in which thousands of people, multiple programmes and a complex supply chain can perform at their best. You will ensure construction activities are integrated, interfaces are managed, decisions are taken at the right level, and multidisciplinary teams have the clarity, capability and accountability required to deliver safely and effectively.

This is leadership at significant scale and with national visibility.

You will work across the Sizewell C organisation and with Tier One suppliers, the nuclear industry, trade unions, local communities, Government and key regulatory bodies including the Office for Nuclear Regulation, Environment Agency and Ofgem.

What you will lead

Your remit will include:

Overall site delivery, accountable to the Chief Operating Officer for the construction delivery of Sizewell C.
Principal Contractor leadership, ensuring Sizewell C fulfils its responsibilities while creating an environment where safety and quality are never compromised.
Integrated construction delivery, aligning programmes, engineering, commercial, project controls and the supply chain around best-for-project outcomes.
Productivity and innovation, maximising opportunities presented by modern methods of construction and off-site manufacturing while managing risk intelligently.
High-performing multidisciplinary teams, establishing clear objectives, accountabilities, interfaces, decision rights and consistent ways of working.
Supply chain leadership, building strong relationships with senior industry leaders while challenging established ways of working where better outcomes are possible.
Stakeholder leadership, representing Sizewell C with communities, regulators, Government, unions and other critical stakeholders.
Culture and capability, creating an organisation able to meet the demands of each stage of construction while developing leaders and capability for the future.

About you

We are looking for an established leader of leaders with the credibility, judgement and experience to operate successfully in an exceptionally complex delivery environment.

You will bring substantial Director-level experience of major projects, programmes or complex construction environments, with evidence of leading multiple senior delivery leaders, significant business units or major portfolios.

You will combine:

Significant leadership experience in a highly regulated environment, ideally nuclear or comparable major infrastructure.
A strong record of industrial and nuclear safety leadership.
Experience of major programme budgets and balancing safety, quality, schedule, cost and risk.
Proven success building integrated delivery organisations and multidisciplinary teams.
Deep understanding of Principal Contractor responsibilities and the CDM Regulations.
Strong commercial judgement and the ability to build productive, challenging relationships with major supply chain partners.
Experience of organisational design, mobilisation, transformation, capability and resource planning at scale.
The ability to use project controls, data, performance measures and early-warning information to drive decisive action.
Exceptional stakeholder management, influencing and communication capability.
Chartered status in an appropriate engineering, construction or project profession, or equivalent senior professional experience.

Above all, you will understand that delivering a programme of this scale requires more than technical expertise. It requires visible, authentic and inspirational leadership.

How we lead

Our values underpin how we expect our leaders to operate:

Be True
Lead with integrity, speak clearly, welcome challenge and create an environment where risks are surfaced early and people feel able to speak up.

Be Your Best
Set exceptionally high standards, use evidence and learning to improve, develop others and relentlessly pursue better safety, quality and delivery performance.

Be Together
Build one team across programmes, functions, partners and suppliers. Value different expertise, actively manage interfaces and put the best outcome for the project first.

The significance of the role

Sizewell C is about considerably more than the construction of a power station.

It is an opportunity to demonstrate how the UK can deliver complex infrastructure differently, applying lessons learned, modern construction techniques and integrated delivery to achieve better outcomes.

The project operates in a highly scrutinised environment, with shareholders including HM Government, La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure, alongside debt providers and economic regulation. The expectations around transparency, delivery confidence and value for money are therefore exceptionally high.

For the right leader, this represents a rare opportunity: to shape not only the successful delivery of Sizewell C, but potentially the benchmark for the next generation of major UK infrastructure projects.

Location

Suffolk, with travel to other locations as required.

Executive reward

Given the seniority, scale and significance of this appointment, we are not publishing package details as part of the advertisement. A competitive executive reward package, commensurate with the scope and accountability of the role, will be discussed with suitably qualified candidates during the recruitment process.

Ready to lead the way?

We are looking for a leader who can bring together extraordinary levels of complexity while never losing sight of what matters: safe delivery, quality, performance, people and the long-term interests of the project.

If you have led at scale, can inspire confidence across industry, Government, regulators and the supply chain, and want the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects, we want to hear from you.
