Be part of delivering one of the UK’s most transformative infrastructure projects.
Sizewell C is a nationally significant nuclear new build project that will play a critical role in the UK’s energy future. At the heart of this endeavour lies the Civil Works Programme — a £9bn initiative forming the foundation of the first six years of construction and beyond.
We are now seeking a dynamic and accomplished Infrastructure Director to join our senior leadership team and lead the delivery of major infrastructure packages, including Enabling & Earthworks, Marine & Tunnelling, and Permanent Roads & Networks.
The Opportunity
As Infrastructure Director, you will report directly to the Civil Works Programme Director and be accountable for the successful delivery of some of the most complex and high-value elements of the project. You will provide strategic leadership across engineering, procurement, and construction activities; while ensuring safety, quality, schedule and cost commitments are achieved.
This is a high-impact, visible role that offers the opportunity to work alongside government stakeholders, international partners, and a broad supply chain to shape the UK’s clean energy future.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Provide intelligent client leadership across key infrastructure packages within the Civil Works Programme, ensuring alignment with SZC’s safety culture and strategic objectives.
- Lead multi-disciplinary teams through all stages of delivery, from design to commissioning.
- Oversee the performance of key delivery partners, ensuring work is executed to the highest safety, environmental and quality standards.
- Act as a senior point of interface with UK Government, regulators, supply chain leaders, and alliance partners.
- Lead assurance, change control, governance and performance monitoring across all infrastructure scopes.
- Coordinate programme hold points and manage regulatory and technical interfaces, including nuclear safety accountabilities.
- Foster a high-performing team culture that promotes safety, delivery excellence and collaboration across a complex stakeholder environment.
- A strategic, experienced infrastructure or major projects leader with demonstrable experience delivering complex, high-value programmes within regulated sectors.
- Significant leadership experience on major infrastructure or civil engineering programmes (experience in the nuclear or energy sector is highly desirable).
- Deep understanding of delivery governance, assurance and lifecycle delivery in a highly complex environment.
- A proven ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders, including government bodies, regulators, and delivery partners.
- Commercial and contractual acumen, with an ability to lead delivery across multiple partner organisations.
- A relevant degree in engineering, construction, or a related discipline; chartership or equivalent professional status is preferred.
At Sizewell C, you will play a pivotal role in delivering one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the UK — a project that will provide low-carbon electricity for generations. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of sustainable energy while contributing to a legacy of innovation, economic growth, and environmental responsibility.

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.
