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 SZC 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 have a fantastic opportunity for a Corporate Project Manager, within the Corporate Team, at the heart of Sizewell C. This will be a key role in helping to project manager strategic initiatives, including and predominantly, Sizewell Creative (SZCreative).

The Role

You’ll be a proactive leader who thrives in a creative, fast paced environment and is committed to driving the success of projects that bring art and business together! If you’re someone who understands both the strategic side of project management and the value and benefits that arts enrichment can provide, this is the role for you. 

This role sits within the Corporate Team, at the heart of SZC, but has a close link to a vast number of teams and functions across the company, including external roles such as the Sizewell Creative Director, the Sizewell Creative Producing function, the SZCreative Musical Director and other members of the Arts sector and local Community. 

You’ll be responsible for providing the day-to-day project management of agreed initiatives, including the management of the project’s/initiative’s budget e.g. the SZCreative budget, supporting governance and sign-off of initiatives, helping to report on SZCreative activities and provide stakeholder engagement within the company. 

You’ll work closely with the Creative Director, the role will enable a structured approach to the delivery of SZCreative, providing administrative oversight of the suite of activities, focussing on the day-to-day project management whilst maintaining a holistic view. 

This role will enable and release the Creative Director to focus on the Arts content, vision and facilitation.

The Skills

You’ll have a proven track record of managing large-scale corporate initiatives, delivering projects on time, within scope and within budget. Although not essential, ideally you’ll have an awareness or appreciation of the Arts sector and understand the nuances and ways of working within this industry to aid cohesion with the Arts partners and Creative Director.

Sizewell C Limited (Sizewell C) is nuclear site licensed company whose business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk.  Sizewell C was formerly under the majority ownership of the EDF Group but is currently majority owned by HM Government and operates as an independent company. EDF remains a key shareholder in Sizewell C and the business therefore maintains close links to EDF as a part of its ‘nuclear family’.

As a Sizewell C employee, 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.
