Quality Management Lead (Sizewell C)


Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.
 

Location: London (hybrid working arrangements).

Employment basis: The role is expected to be a full- time position however we are open to discussing a more flexible or part- time approach where possible.
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 dependent on experience, plus bonus and other benefits. 


Please note Interviews are expected to begin in early January 2025.


The Opportunity  


Are you looking for a career which is rewarding, at the cutting edge of project development and where you can really make a difference? 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 Sizewell C 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 several Quality Management Leads to ensure that the Sizewell C project quality requirements are complied with across the full project life-cycle. 


As the Quality Management Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring excellence across our delivery programmes. You'll oversee quality assurance and control activities, ensuring that projects and suppliers meet the rigorous quality requirements defined by our programmes.


This is a challenging yet deeply rewarding role where collaboration is key. You'll work hand-in-hand with Project Managers (PMs), Quality Delivery Managers (QDMs), project teams, contracted inspection agencies, supply chain partners, and both internal and external regulators.


Your leadership will directly impact the success of our projects by ensuring that every step adheres to the highest quality standards. If you're driven by precision, collaboration, and the chance to make a tangible difference, this role is your opportunity to shine!
 

The Role


You’ll ensure supply-chain adherence to the contracted quality assurance and quality control requirements, as well as supporting the Quality Director and Quality Delivery Managers with achieving adherence with the Integrated Management System arrangements. 


You’ll help to:

 

  • Develop and implement quality assurance and quality control arrangements across the business. 
  • Lead the review, acceptance, and monitoring of Contractors Quality Assurance Plans (CQAP).
  • Produce Project Quality Control Plans (PQCP) and ensure compliance with key quality contractual arrangements.
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, including contracted inspection entities.
  • Perform audits, surveillance, and joint inspections to maintain quality standards.
  • Lead the resolution of non-conformances and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Review and deliver end-of-manufacturing records for equipment release.


The Skills

 

We're looking for someone with hands-on experience, ideally in a similar regulated industry, who knows how to prioritise quality every step of the way.


Here’s what will set you apart:

 

  • A deep understanding of Quality Assurance and Quality Control across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction, and commissioning.
  • Expertise in Quality Systems, ISO standards, and—bonus points—familiarity with nuclear sector regulations.
  • Exceptional communication skills that help you build strong, effective relationships.
  • A proven track record of leadership, with the ability to influence, challenge constructively, and inspire those around you.
  • Experience managing suppliers and conducting thorough supplier audits.
  • Nuclear sector experience is an advantage.


Why Sizewell C?

 

This isn’t just a job; it’s your chance to be part of history. As a Quality Management Lead at Sizewell C, you’ll shape the UK’s clean energy future while advancing your career in one of the most exciting and dynamic sectors in the world.


Join us and make a real impact – for today and generations to come!

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.

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.
