Come and join our expanding Sizewell C team and work on one of the most exciting and largest megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK's climate change agenda and energy policy.



Following on from the success of Hinkley Point C (HPC), the Sizewell C Project is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk, which has obtained planning approval and Government financing support. The project has started construction and is now seeking private investment. 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're looking for an

Issues Resolution Lead

(Technical Risk, Opportunities and Resolutions Lead) to oversee the management of Sizewell C's key engineering and technical risks and lead the resolution of some of Sizewell C's most complex and transverse technical topics.

The Role

In this role, you will be required to identify and engage with key stakeholders across multiple areas of our business and drive for collaboration, ensuring seamless planning and coordination of mitigation plans. Your focus will be on ensuring alignment of mitigating actions, driving for effective resolution of Sizewell C's priority technical challenges and tracking and reporting on progress.

internal and external stakeholders are

and facilitate clear communication between technical teams, senior leadership, and key stakeholders - essential to ensuring a structured approach to risk resolution.


As the Issues Resolution Lead, you will report to both the

You will champion alignment with Sizewell C's replication strategy and ensure a coordinated approach is applied to managing Sizewell C's technical risks. This is a highly collaborative role, requiring strong stakeholder management and problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and the ability to navigate complex challenges in a fast-paced environment.

About You

You are highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritise effectively and coordinate across teams.

Understanding of Risk Management processes. Excellent communication skills in client-facing and contractor facing situations. Highly organised and ability to work independently.

Join the team at Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.


It's not every day you get the opportunity to shape the working culture of what will be one of Europe's largest construction projects, while also helping Britain to reach its target of Net Zero emissions by 2050. That's one of the reasons Sizewell C will be unlike anything you've ever experienced before, and you'll need to be an exceptional professional to reach the high standards this critical infrastructure project demands.


The UK is experiencing a nuclear renaissance and Sizewell C - along with its sister project at Hinkley Point C in Somerset - is powering the change. We're ramping up at pace as we look ahead to the Financial Investment Decision in early 2025, and the start of construction soon after. With government fully on board and public opinion shifting significantly in favour of nuclear, there's never been a better time to join our project.
