Sizewell C Nuclear Business Graduate

Launch your business career with our customised 2-year training programme! You will rotate through exciting placements that are designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.

You will learn from our experts, gain valuable experience, build your confidence and have the support of a career line manager and placement manager, mentor and buddy throughout your time on the programme.

Sizewell C Workforce & Skills (EAU) is a function within the People Directorate that provides leadership, governance and assurance across the project People Requirements, ensuring that we have the people, skills, culture and employment frameworks necessary to achieve safe, productive and successful delivery of the project.

Based within the Workforce Contract Performance team in the Workforce & Skills (EAU) function, you can expect to work with key stakeholders across the project and its supply chain on activities designed to ensure:

Our People Requirements are incorporated into each stage of our procurement processes and embedded in all new contract awards as required

Contractors have a detailed understanding of our People Requirements and the level of contribution they will be required to make in support of the project’s People related targets and commitments

Contractors develop and maintain adequate plans to deliver against these requirements, commitments and targets

Contractor performance against plan is monitored, with variance identified and acted upon as part of regular contractor performance management activity

Delivery of planned activity supports the delivery of the wider project People Requirements

Day to day activities should therefore be expected to be quite wide ranging. A typical day could see you:

Working with colleagues in our commercial and sustainability teams to review and score contractor tender responses

Joining a Contractor Mobilisation meeting on behalf of the EAU to confirm if a Contractor has met all our pre‑requisites before commencing work on site

Supporting colleagues to deliver an introductory briefing to new contractors, introducing the role of the EAU and ensuring shared understanding of contract deliverables
