About the Company

• Sizewell C’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk.
• Overall, whilst the Company is in the construction phase, the Boards’ principal focus is on the development and construction of Sizewell C on time, on budget and to the highest quality and safety standards.
• The Company is maturing to meet all these requirements.
• Sizewell C is economically regulated by OFGEM under the RAB model similar to other UK electricity distribution networks and Thames Tideway.
• Sizewell C construction strategy is to replicate the design of Hinkley Point C, using the majority of the same supply chain, but innovating in the way it is delivered to achieve savings in time and cost of around 20%.
• The CCO will need to be guided by and incorporate lessons learned from the Hinkley Point C commercial delivery to achieve Sizewell C’s ambition.
• Following Financial Completion and Revenue Commencement, Sizewell C is fully funded and is owned by; The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero representing HM Government, La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure.
• At Sizewell C, we are building more than a power station. We are building a cleaner energy future for generations to come.
• Sizewell C is one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the UK and will provide secure, low carbon electricity for millions of homes.
• Joining now means becoming part of the team that will define how the future station operates, working alongside experts from across the nuclear industry and benefiting from the lessons learned at Hinkley Point C.
• This is a rare opportunity to help build an organisation from the ground up and leave a lasting engineering legacy.
• When joining Sizewell C, 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.

Equal Opportunity

• At Sizewell C we encourage and embrace diversity and how it can improve our experience and performance at work.
• It is a requirement that those who join us have the right to work in the UK.
• Whilst sponsorship may be a possibility that we can explore, we are fully committed to local recruitment where possible, and those already holding the right to work in the UK.
