Salary: circa £32,000 (depending on experience)
Bonus: 5% target
Holiday: 28 days plus bank holidays
Pension: Up to 7.5% employee / 15% employer

 
Closing date: Saturday 9th May 2026

 
We’re looking for a highly organised, proactive Personal Assistant who can operate at pace and bring real structure and energy to a growing Technical Directorate. This is more than a traditional PA role — you’ll be at the centre of the function, supporting senior leaders while also playing a key role in driving coordination, communication and delivery across a range of projects.

 
Reporting to the Engineering Director, with a dotted line into the Executive PA to the Chief Technical Officer, you’ll act as a trusted partner, ensuring priorities are managed effectively and the wider team operates smoothly and professionally.

 
What you’ll be doing


 

Executive & administrative support

 
• Provide high-quality support to the Engineering Director and senior leaders across the Technical Directorate
• Manage complex calendars, scheduling and meeting logistics
• Coordinate domestic and international travel, accommodation and itineraries
• Prepare and process expenses
• Draft professional correspondence, reports and presentations
 

Project & team support
 

• Support the development of a newly forming directorate, helping to embed effective ways of working
• Assist in delivering key initiatives, including internal communications and engagement activity
• Help shape and support a clear identity for the Technical Directorate, building credibility across the wider organisation
 

 

Coordination & communication

 
• Organise and support team meetings, workshops and presentations
• Facilitate clear and effective communication between the Technical Directorate and key stakeholders
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment and visibility of priorities
• Build an understanding of stakeholder expectations, including Board, investors and regulators
 

What we’re looking for
 

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Confident communicator, able to build relationships and influence at all levels
• Comfortable working independently and using initiative
• Highly adaptable, with a flexible approach in a fast-moving environment
• Strong attention to detail and a professional, discreet approach to sensitive information
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook)
• Positive, proactive mindset with a willingness to get stuck in
 

Why this role matters

 
This role will play a key part in shaping how the Technical Directorate operates. You’ll help create clarity, improve ways of working, and ensure the function is well connected, visible and trusted across the wider project.


It’s an opportunity to step into a role with real variety, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the chance to make a tangible impact from day one.


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 

For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

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.
