Project Manager
Company Description
Location: Bristol
Contract: Permanent, full-time.
Why Join Us?
We’re building the future. Sizewell C is a once-in-a-generation infrastructure project that will power Britain’s energy security and net-zero ambitions for decades to come. Following our recent Final Investment Decision, construction is fully greenlit. This is your chance to be part of the largest investment in homegrown clean energy in decades, delivering low-carbon electricity to 6 million homes for at least 60 years.
What’s In It For You
You’ll be joining one of the UK’s largest and most ambitious infrastructure projects and play a key role in delivering the next generation of low‑carbon nuclear power. Sizewell C is recruiting talented Project Managers to drive forward critical design activities within the Civil Works Programme (CWP).
About The Role
As a Project Manager you will support the delivery of the Civil Works scope to cost, schedule and quality within the agreed constraints. You will contribute towards setting and implementing strategies for design management, early contractor involvement, procurement activities, commercial management, and project controls. You will work within a multidisciplinary project team and provide day-to-day support across all project phases of the design.
Key Responsibilities
Project Delivery & Coordination
This post may include nuclear safety and environmental responsibilities as detailed in the Nuclear and Environmental Baseline. The role holder must ensure that all activities reflect a strong safety culture and comply with all regulatory requirements.
Key Stakeholders
You will collaborate with a broad and high‑profile stakeholder group, including:
Knowledge, Skills & Experience
We’re looking for motivated Project Managers with experience in large‑scale infrastructure, engineering or complex environments. You will bring:
Humility
Additional Information
Join the team at Sizewell C. Our vision is to Lead The Way On Nuclear.
The Sizewell C team is one of the most exciting and largest new megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. We have begun constructing a 3.2-gigawatt nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast in the East of England replicating, wherever possible, the design used for Hinkley Point C, another nuclear power station being built in Somerset.
When built, Sizewell C will be one of the largest power stations to operate in the UK. The power station will generate low carbon electricity for at least 60 years, supplying over 6 million homes and supporting around 7% of the UK’s current electricity needs.
Our vision is to Lead The Way On Nuclear. We want Sizewell C to define what good leadership for the nuclear industry and British infrastructure looks like and deliver on it. We understand the feats of organisation, logistics, collaboration and imagination that building nuclear requires. We are building for the next generation for their home-grown energy, energy price stability and ultra-low carbon power in abundance. We also want to set the benchmark for maximising long-lasting social value as we build and demonstrate how smart collaboration can work for the benefit of communities – locally, regionally and nationally.
We are the first nuclear power station in the UK to be funded under the Regulated Asset Base funding model (RAB). Our largest shareholder is the UK Government, alongside equity partners La Caisse, Centrica, EDF and Amber Infrastructure.
Sizewell C operates within a complex and fast-moving stakeholder environment, engaging with a wide range of partners including government bodies, regulators, local communities, supply chain partners, and international collaborators. This makes Sizewell C a uniquely stimulating place to work — where navigating evolving priorities, balancing interests, and building trusted relationships is just as critical as technical excellence. For those who thrive in dynamic, multi-dimensional settings, it offers unmatched professional challenge and growth.
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.
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.
To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
By submitting an application to this role, you acknowledge that you have read and understood Sizewell C’s employee privacy policy and EDF's employee privacy policy. Just to let you know, EDF will be processing and sharing information about your application on behalf of Sizewell C.
