About the role
SZC is ultimately owned by two shareholders, Électricité de France (EDF) and His Majesty’s Government (HMG). The shareholders hold their investment in SZC through NNB Holdings Company (SZC) Limited. Over the course of the current shareholding arrangements the shareholdings of the two shareholders will change.
The shareholders will fund SZC up until Financial Close through equity in line with the approved schedule and budget. SZC’s business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure (including activities relating to hydrogen, direct air capture and/or desalination) at Sizewell C in Suffolk. The principal objectives of the current
development phase of the SZC project are to agree and implement the Capital Raise Plan, including completing an equity and debt raise, agree the core supply chain contracts and obtain the regulatory permits and licences required for the construction phase of the Project (including the core environmental permits and nuclear site licence).
Prior to the government investment decision SZC operated as part of EDF in the Nuclear Development business unit and was staffed by EDF colleagues and independent contractors who are now in the process of transferring to the direct employment of SZC. It is setting itself up as an organisation capable of delivering a new nuclear power plant, from investment case and funding, to construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance and decommissioning.
The SZC construction programme has a technical and commercial business case predicated on technical replication of Hinkley Point C. EDF will be an important supplier of nuclear capability for the SZC Programme from its established nuclear business footprint in the UK.
Key stakeholders are: HMG, relevant Government departments and agencies including Treasury BEIS, EDF, Financial investors and institutions, Regulators, Alliance partners and local communities.
What you’ll be doing
The Sizewell C (SZC) project requires a Sr Marine Methods Engineer to support development of construction methods and temporary works, and the associated design assumptions, functional requirements, and temporary load states for the offshore installation of Reinforced Concrete (RC) permanent works structures in the North Sea.
The role requires coordinating and systematically documenting and socialising the identification, development, evaluation and selection of marine construction methods, to establish a conservative set of design inputs which unlock method-agnostic construction, competitive market engagement and therefore best-for-project solutions.
The role will require sequencing of work packages to align with various design and
construction programmes, prioritising critical temporary works (TW) designs where appropriate, and ensuring that TW design briefs accurately portray the methods.
The role will coordinate with lead design consultant(s), TW designers & methods engineers and supply chain for the development of methods, design briefs and designs, ensuring either compatible with existing designs and client specifications or otherwise informing their change if applicable. The project team includes people internal to the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), lead design consultant(s), internal and external temporary

work designer(s), and subcontractors.

• Accountable for developing construction sequences and methodologies related to the offshore construction of RC and steel structures, heavy lifting and transportation, extraction and rock placement including:
• Review the Clients’ Design to assess buildability and compatibility of the Design to the

agreed methods of works

• Market engagement, supplier capabilities review and construction method evaluation.
• Development of detailed design briefs and construction assumptions to inform

detailed designs by lead design consultant(s);

• Overall methods development for key offshore construction activities, transportation

and pre-construction activities for installation;

• Role shall support supply chain and construction delivery teams for the development of delivery strategies for near shore and offshore construction activities, materials and asset handling.
• Role shall support the definition of functional and performance requirements of the designs to support the preferred methods, and assist Engineering and Design managers to ensure the progression of asset designs is in line with construction methods.

• Smart working, giving you more flexibility such as staggered start and finish times, with up to 40% remote working, where roles allow. 42 hours per week.
• 25 days paid annual leave (pro rata)
• Family friendly policies which include 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption leave and four weeks full pay for paternity/partners leave
• Pension, share incentive plan, volunteering leave, recognition schemes and much more
