The Opportunity
Are you looking for a career which is rewarding, at the cutting edge of project development and where you can really make a difference? Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) 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.
Join Us as a Technical Engineer Manager - Driving Engineering Excellence in Build and Design.
As we continue this major infrastructure initiative and preparation for construction, within this our Civil Works Programme (CWP) ensures that all civil engineering designs meet project requirements, are delivered on time and within budget, and are ready for construction.
We are seeking a highly capable and motivated Technical Engineering Manager to oversee the end-to-end design sequence within the Civil Works Programme to ensure timely delivery in a Design & Build context.
The Role
As a Technical Engineering Manager you'll be a key part of our Technical Directorate and report directly to the Programme Engineering Manager. In this role, you'll take the lead in defining technical requirements, overseeing contractor design work, managing design changes and ensuring that safety and regulatory inputs are fully integrated into every stage of the process.
You'll be responsible for making sure all designs meet our assurance standards and are reviewed by qualified experts. Your focus will be on validating technical requirements, aligning them with regulatory and safety expectations, and resolving any technical issues or design changes that arise.
You'll work closely with the Responsible Designer to scope and plan annual work packages and collaborate with the Civil Works Alliance to ensure design delivery aligns with construction schedules. You'll also maintain configuration control, lead structured technical reviews and verify that all design activities are carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
For our marine and tunnelling works, as the TEM you'll hold decision-making authority at key project Hold Points, using your expertise and input to guide progress. You'll play a critical role in identifying and managing technical risks, making sure any impacts on cost, schedule and quality are clearly understood and effectively addressed.
The Skills

• Experience in Tunnelling or Geotechnical engineering (e.g. TBM & SCL tunnels, shafts, reinforced concrete, structural steel)
• Experience managing complex, multi-disciplinary design teams
• Knowledge and understanding of UK and British design standards and working practices
• Proven ability to provide technical leadership within a delivery-focused team
• Experience working in matrixed, multi-disciplinary project environments
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, including with regulators, design teams, and senior management

Desirable

• Experience in the nuclear sector.
• Hydro/Coastal/Marine works experience (e.g. offshore shafts, temporary and permanent works)

As this role is within a government-funded project, we are required to comply with strict UK right-to-work legislation. Unfortunately, this means we are not able to provide visa sponsorship or support with immigration applications. To be considered, applicants must already hold the legal right to live and work in the UK. We are committed to equality of opportunity and warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates who meet this requirement.

Additional Information
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.
