Why Join Sizewell C?
Sizewell C isn't just a nuclear power station - it's a vital part of Britain's clean energy future. By joining our team, you'll contribute to one of the UK's most ambitious and exciting infrastructure projects, helping to power millions of homes and drive the transition to net zero.
What is INA?
INA is the internal regulator for the SZC project, providing an independent oversight capability, engaging across a broad scope of project activities on a risk informed basis to support, regulate, inspect, and provide assurance of activities, arrangements, decision making and behaviours within the project. The INA mission is to provide efficient, effective and trusted independent regulation to support the SZC Project, upholding standards and enabling continual improvement.
Your Role: INA Site Inspector
As an INA Site Inspector within INA's Independent Site Inspection team, you will be at the heart of ensuring Sizewell C meets its regulatory Safety and Environmental obligations. You will collaborate with internal teams, external regulators, and key stakeholders to ensure the SZC project continues to meet the highest national and international standards, helping to shape a world-class nuclear power facility. You will provide independent review, assessment, and challenge of the construction and safety across the Sizewell C site. This includes all aspects of Nuclear Safety, Conventional Safety, Environmental Safety, Emergency Preparedness, and Physical Security. In this role, you will perform oversight of and contribute to key arrangements related to safety, design, planning, quality, and construction as well as delivering risk informed independent assessments and inspections.
What We're Looking For
Essential Skills & Experience:
The successful applicant will join a team who provide assurance of the construction delivery activities and associated risks. Each person within the Site Team has a different skill set and you will need to be a skilled construction professional or civil engineer who has held responsible roles on major multi-disciplinary projects. Knowledge and experience in the following areas will be beneficial (although not all essential):

• Knowledge of safety and construction standards.

• Construction management across multi-discipline teams.

• Project scheduling and planning.

• Site quality assurance and control.

• Non-conformance management.

• Contract management.

• Risk management and mitigation.

• Construction method statements.

• Construction permitting and site access controls.

• CDM regulations.

You should bring a sound understanding of UK regulatory frameworks and a proven ability to think critically, adapt quickly to new topics, and implement innovative approaches.
You should be able to communicate effectively (written and verbally) at all levels within the organisation, and consistently demonstrate high ethical behaviour, integrity, humility, and character.
The ability to influence at all levels of the project will be essential, with experience of being able to identify and effectively challenge substandard behaviour and practices.
This role will oversee activities on site, and as a result is based on location at Sizewell C. There may be some opportunity to occasionally work elsewhere, based around the project activities, and we provide a full suite of IT equipment to ensure that our employees can work remotely or from home where required.
Experience in a nuclear organisation and/or large, high hazard / regulated industry or large infrastructure project is a significant advantage. A good awareness of the UK regulatory regime is desirable. You will have the ability to navigate complex technical projects, whilst building strong relationships and influencing senior stakeholders.
If you are proactive, organised, an excellent communicator, and thrive in a dynamic setting, we would love to hear from you.
Ready to Make an Impact?
Join us and be part of a transformative project that will power millions of homes and help the UK reach net-zero. You'll work in a dynamic, collaborative environment with a team that shares your commitment to safety, innovation, and excellence.

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.
