Opportunity for an Engineering Manager (Sizewell C) working with Balfour Beatty on the Sizewell C Project,


The Sizewell C (SZC) project requires an Engineering Manager to lead, manage and coordinate construction engineering for the Enabling Works and Earthworks portions during the delivery phase. The role is site based to ensure Engineering Delivery Excellence through adoption of engineering processes, procedures and best practice.  The  scope  of  the  Earthworks  and  Enabling  works  forms  the  initial  portion  of  the  Civil  Works Programme for the SZC project and includes the construction of significant civil engineering elements critical to the construction and operation of SZC. These include access bridges, sea defence, retaining structures, environmental barriers, TBM Launch Shafts and marine delivery structures. 
The Engineering Manager will manage right first-time delivery of engineering activities, coordinating across the disciplines of Methods, Temporary/Permanent Works, Digital Engineering, Quality, Materials and Survey. 


The Engineering Manager will be required to establish the organisation and resource structure with the skills and experience to deliver the project technical requirements for a section of these works. Successful management will involve working alongside technical leads for pre-construction and engineering disciplines, client and stakeholders to manage complex technical interfaces.  The complexity of the works will require  that  the  Engineering  Manager  is  able  to  work  in  collaboration  with  support  functions  including procurement,  commercial,  information  management,  digital  engineering  and  project  controls  to  ensure  that robust project management principles are in place to support efficient delivery.

Why Join Us?

For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fuelled with massive amounts of home-grown energy.

Our teams up and down the country are proudly continuing to serve the nation – but they also have an eye on the future.

EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk.

Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education.

We’re not just building new nuclear power stations. We’re developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skills areas.

It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and although we have thousands of them there’s always a need for more.

Our industry has a mind-boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it’s also an industry which is changing.

We’re a responsible business and proud to be Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. With size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more.
