Description

Company Description Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain. Location: London (3 days a week). Employment basis: Permanent and the role is expected to be a full-time position. Working pattern: We operate on an office-based contract model, but support hybrid working where possible. This means you’ll need to be based within reasonable travel distance of the office and able to attend in person when business needs require, typically 3 days per week, though this may vary by team or project. Flexibility to be on site when needed is essential. Salary: £60,000 - £64,000, dependent on experience plus bonus, market leading pension and other flexible benefits. Closing date: Wednesday 3rd December 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 the new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C (HPC), the Sizewell C Project (SZC) in Suffolk is the UK’s next nuclear power new build project. The project has obtained planning approval and has started construction works. It has recently achieved Financial Investment Decision (FID) meaning that all the funding for the full lifespan of the project is now secured and in place guaranteeing the full delivery of this new nuclear power station. 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. The Role We’re looking for a Strategic Risk Lead to help guide our organisation through its evolving landscape by investigating, assessing, and delivering insightful advice on our strategic and portfolio risks. This role will involve close collaboration across all levels of the Sizewell C organisation, including regular engagement with the Audit and Risk Committee and Managing Directors. We are continuing to strengthen the Sizewell C Risk Management Framework and integrating Risk Appetite as a core component to ensure alignment with strategic objectives. As the Strategic Risk Lead you’ll play a key role in ensuring Risk Reporting remains a priority - with a focus on improving efficiency and leveraging data-driven insights. The role also involves managing a wide range of stakeholders and navigating the complexities of the project and organisation risk profile, particularly in relation to financing, corporate development and the supply chain. The Skills Undergraduate Degree in a relevant discipline. Strong understanding of Risk Management Frameworks (including ISO 31000). Experience in data analysis and quantitative modelling. Skilled in interpreting scenario analysis and developing risk dashboards. Familiarity with risk management systems, such as ARM. Awareness of operational and reputational risk. Demonstrated critical thinking mindset. Proven ability to collaborate across functions. Experience in stakeholder engagement and management. Background in project risk assessment and mitigation. A full job description is available on application. #DestinationNuclear #SZCjobs Additional Information Join the team at Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain. It’s not every day you get the opportunity to shape the working culture of what will be one of Europe’s largest construction projects, while also helping Britain to reach its target of Net Zero emissions by 2050. That’s one of the reasons Sizewell C will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before, and you’ll need to be an exceptional professional to reach the high standards this critical infrastructure project demands. The UK is experiencing a nuclear renaissance and Sizewell C – along with its sister project at Hinkley Point C in Somerset – is powering the change. We’re ramping up at pace as we look ahead to the Financial Investment Decision in early 2025, and the start of construction soon after. With government fully on board and public opinion shifting significantly in favour of nuclear, there’s never been a better time to join our project.
