About the role
SZC is ultimately owned by two shareholders, EDF and 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.
What you'll be doing
The Sizewell C (SZC) project will have a significant requirement for temporary works, delivered by all
portions of the project. The management of Temporary Works (TW) will be governed by a SZC overarching
client procedure outlining how each organisation will discharge their duties in relation to the temporary works
(refer to BS5975: 2019 clause (phone number removed). Each organisation will adopt their own procedures in accordance
with the client procedure.
The Temporary Works Manager will be required to establish, implement and maintain the Contractor’s
procedure for the control of temporary works, consistent with the requirements of the SZC client procedure.
The Temporary Works Manager may also be appointed as the Contractor’s Designated Individual.
The Temporary Works Manager will be required to establish a capable team of TW engineers (Designers
and TW Coordinators), supported by with parent company TW design teams and external designers.
This role is for the Enabling Works and Earthworks portion and will work alongside other Temporary Works
