About the Role
Our projects are more than just your opportunity to make your mark. They’re an opportunity to stretch, test and develop your expertise. Join our Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick team as a Senior Planner on the Sizewell C Project and you’ll deliver complex work that really matters to our business, and the world around you.
Sizewell C
Sizewell C will create a 3.2 gigawatt power station generating low‑carbon electricity for at least 60 years. It will be built next to Sizewell B, which began operating in 1995 and has so far avoided more than 76 million tonnes of carbon emissions. Our proposal is to build a new nuclear power station on the East Suffolk coast which will supply 6 million homes with low‑carbon electricity.
