Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) team and work on one of the most exciting projects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy.

When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

We now have a fantastic opportunity for several Programme Managers to ensure the end to end delivery of a large scope of systems, structures and components for the SZC Nuclear Island.
