Major Projects

About The Role

Be part of this "once in a generation" project that will deliver clean energy to 6 million homes for the next 60 years. Sizewell C will see the creation of a 3.2 Gigawatt nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast to provide reliable low-carbon electricity.

The Civil Works Alliance is an extended delivery enterprise involving Sizewell C and three international construction companies:
Balfour Beatty, Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O'Rourke.

We are more than just an alliance, we are bringing together a single delivery organisation with years of learning and experience from other major complex infrastructure programmes worldwide.

The Sizewell C (SZC) project requires an Engineering Manager to lead, manage and coordinate construction engineering for the Enabling Works and Earthworks portions during the delivery phase. The role is site based to ensure Engineering Delivery Excellence through adoption of engineering processes, procedures and best practice. The scope of the Earthworks and Enabling works forms the initial portion of the Civil Works Programme for the SZC project and includes the construction of significant civil engineering elements critical to the construction and operation of SZC.

These include access bridges, sea defence, retaining structures, environmental barriers, TBM Launch Shafts and marine delivery structures.

The Engineering Manager will manage right first-time delivery of engineering activities, coordinating across the disciplines of Methods, Temporary/Permanent Works, Digital Engineering, Quality, Materials and Survey. The Engineering Manager will be required to establish the organisation and resource structure with the skills and experience to deliver the project technical requirements for a section of these works.

Successful management will involve working alongside technical leads for pre-construction and engineering disciplines, client and stakeholders to manage complex technical interfaces. The complexity of the works will require that the Engineering Manager is able to work in collaboration with support functions including procurement, commercial, information management, digital engineering and project controls to ensure that robust project management principles are in place to support efficient delivery.

The Engineering Manager will be required to establish and manage a delivery strategy in accordance with the procedures set out by the industry, the Civil Works alliance and Sizewell
