About Sizewell C
Sizewell C is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects, delivering low carbon energy for generations. Joining us means contributing to a project of national importance, supporting energy security, regional growth, and long-term skilled employment.
We’re looking for a Quality Lead (CFSI Manager) to play a key role in safeguarding quality performance and protecting our project from Counterfeit, Fraudulent and Suspect Items (CFSI).
If you’re equipped to take ownership of quality excellence and risk prevention in a high profile environment, we’d love to hear from you. We are growing and expanding rapidly, and it’s an exciting time to join Sizewell C at the early stages.
The Opportunity
As CFSI Manager you’ll work alongside the Head of Supplier Quality to assess supplier performance, turning insights into improvement programmes and elevating the overall quality delivered across our supply chain. You’ll help ensure the Supplier Quality function within the PDO operates safely, efficiently, and right first time – and stays aligned to our Quality Strategy, CFSI Strategy and Sizewell C project goals.
As the CFSI Manager, you’ll take the lead on developing and maintaining strong, proactive processes to identify, prevent and mitigate the highest level of CFSI risks. Ensuring these are identified and reported to the right parties to be addressed correctly. These activities will require you to interface with other parts of the key wider stakeholders for information sharing and gathering - particularly with our Regulators and internal / external auditors.
Your work will directly strengthen the integrity and resilience of our supply chain, ensuring the right controls are in place to keep the project safe, compliant and future ready.
Who You Are
You’re a proactive project professional with strong experience in strategic project management and the delivery of major projects. You’ll bring:
Proven leadership experience in a quality assurance or quality control environment within the nuclear industry or another relevant safety critical sector.
A strong track record of engaging with diverse stakeholders, resolving issues across multicultural environments with multidisciplinary teams in major projects.
The ability to implement effective quality management arrangements and ensure they are followed.
Experience leading and managing a team or department of Quality professionals, with the capability to motivate, guide and support high performance.
Exceptional relationship building skills, allowing you to collaborate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders.
Confidence in analysing data, preparing clear reports, and making informed recommendations.

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.
