At Sizewell C, we are building more than a power station. We are building a cleaner energy future for generations to come.
As Electrical Lead, you will play a pivotal role in establishing the future operating organisation for Sizewell C. This is a unique opportunity to help shape how the station will operate long before first power generation, influencing electrical maintenance strategies, equipment reliability programmes, operational processes and the development of a highly capable engineering team.
Working within the Pre-Operations Engineering team, you will lead the development of the Electrical function through construction, commissioning and into operations, ensuring the station is prepared for safe, reliable and efficient long term operation.
Why Join Sizewell C?
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.
Why Join as an Electrical Lead?
This role offers far more than technical leadership. You will have the opportunity to establish the future Electrical department, build and lead a team, influence maintenance and reliability strategies, develop operational processes and work closely with Engineering, Maintenance, Operations and Commissioning teams. Your work will directly contribute to the safe and successful transition of Sizewell C from construction into operations.
The Opportunity
As Electrical Lead, you will be responsible for developing the future Electrical function for Sizewell C's operational organisation. You will provide technical leadership across a wide range of electrical systems, work closely with project and commissioning teams, and support the development of the processes and tools required for long term station operation.
You will help establish maintenance and reliability strategies, support operational readiness activities, contribute to digital tool development and ensure that the electrical discipline is prepared to support safe and efficient plant operations.
What You'll Be Doing
• Building and leading the future Electrical team
• Developing electrical maintenance, reliability and operational strategies
• Leading the implementation of electrical systems, processes and procedures
• Supporting the transition from construction and commissioning into operations
• Establishing strong relationships with Engineering, Operations, Maintenance and Commissioning teams
• Driving continuous improvement and operational excellence
• Supporting the development of digital systems and engineering tools
• Managing risks associated with electrical plant and equipment
• Promoting and championing a strong nuclear safety culture
• Coaching, mentoring and developing engineers within the team
Essential Experience
• Significant experience within an Electrical Engineering discipline
• Proven experience leading and developing teams in a high pressure operational environment
• Experience planning, scheduling and executing complex work programmes
• Strong understanding of nuclear safety culture, regulatory compliance and quality assurance standards
• Experience developing engineering processes, maintenance strategies or equipment reliability programmes
• Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, including high voltage and low voltage power systems, switchgear and rotating electrical equipment
• Experience working within a nuclear power station or similarly highly regulated environment
Desirable Experience
• Experience within the nuclear industry
• Experience supporting major infrastructure, energy or mega-project programmes
• Experience of construction, commissioning or operational readiness activities
• Experience using Asset Suite or similar asset management systems
• Experience with data reporting and performance management tools
• Knowledge of INPO AP928, AP913 or similar work management processes
• Experience using AutoCAD, Visio or planning tools
• Experience gained within highly regulated sectors such as aerospace, manufacturing, automotive or marine
Essential Education & Qualifications
• Degree, HNC or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Engineering or a relevant scientific discipline
Desirable Qualifications
• Chartered Engineer (CEng) status
• Membership of a recognised professional engineering institution
