? Location: Suffolk, UK (Sizewell C) | ? Industry: Major Infrastructure / Nuclear Energy
? Join a once-in-a-generation project shaping the UK’s energy future
Are you a seasoned project leader ready to drive one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure programmes?
The Sizewell C Project (SZC) is recruiting a Head of Civils Works PMO to spearhead the civil engineering delivery of one of the largest and most impactful energy megaprojects in Europe. Building on the success of Hinkley Point C, this is your chance to help deliver the UK's next nuclear power station—providing clean, secure electricity to 6 million homes and directly contributing to Net Zero by 2050.
* Be part of a national priority: SZC is a cornerstone of Britain’s low-carbon energy future.
* Shape a legacy: 60+ years of electricity generation, supporting 70,000+ jobs.
* Work with purpose: Align your career with environmental impact, innovation, and nation-building.
? What you'll do:
As Head of the Civils Works PMO, you will:
* Lead the PMO implementation for all civil engineering works, overseeing delivery across schedule, cost, risk, reporting, data, and change.
* Work in a high-impact leadership position, reporting to the Head of Programme Controls and the Civils Works Programme Director.
* Build, manage, and inspire a high-performing PMO team within a matrix structure.
* Shape and embed best-in-class programme controls, digital systems, and data strategies across the civils programme.
* Drive cross-functional collaboration across central PMO, supply chain, and government stakeholders—working on a “best for Sizewell C” basis.
* Represent the project externally, demonstrating industry-leading capability and showcasing the SZC story to regulators, shareholders, and the wider industry.
? What you’ll bring:
* Significant leadership experience in major infrastructure projects (ideally >£1bn+), ideally in nuclear, energy, rail, aviation, or defence.
* Proven expertise in Project Controls across cost, schedule, change, risk, and reporting.
* Track record of leading PMO or project controls functions on complex programmes.
* Strong stakeholder engagement skills—comfortable operating at executive and government levels.
* Familiarity with Earned Value Management and industry-standard software/tools (e.g., Power BI, Primavera P6).
* Professional certification (e.g., APM, PMI, AACE).
* Knowledge of NEC and FIDIC contracts.
? What we offer:
* Impactful work on a nationally significant energy megaproject.
* Inclusion in a high-performance culture, with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and excellence.
* Competitive compensation with long-term career growth opportunities.
* Hybrid working flexibility and collaborative leadership environment.
