Overview
This role will be employed by G4S but will hold duty responsibility for Sizewell C (SZC), and thus be an integral part of the client team.
The on-duty SZC Emergency Shift Manager (ESM) assumes and retains overall command for the operation or incident. They have responsibility and authority for the site tactical procedures based from the Emergency Control Centre (EmCC).
The role will be one of four/five ESMs who hold equivalent authority when on duty and hold a nominated specialism related to the phase of construction, as detailed by Licence Condition (LC) 11 - On-site Emergency Arrangements Lead. This LC forms the basis of this role.
The EmCC will be fed information from Operational Management via the Security Control Room (SCR) including Incident Controllers, Duty Managers, and specialist response. The EmCC will be populated with a number of Subject Matter Experts (SME) from site depending on the type of incident or event which they will coordinate throughout and act as the interface with specialists internally and externally.
The ESM should not make Operational decisions; instead the ESM focuses on tactical responses, coordination and recovery. They are responsible for ensuring that any tactics deployed are proportionate to the risks identified, meet the objectives of the strategy and are legally compliant.
They must be capable and confident in briefing at a strategic level during an incident and will report directly to the Site Operations Lead, Construction, and Site Operations Directors.
The Areas of Responsibility (AOR) sit within the Main Development Site (MDS) and Off Site Infrastructure (OSI), pending individual site incident management plans. They will also manage situations on Public Highways that involve SZC workforce or assets, including freight delivery to site.
It is essential this role maintains situational awareness and anticipates the 'So What' to ensure the appropriate resources are available to fulfill tasks and site incident response as required. To achieve this, the ESM will be immersed in the different Construction disciplines (Civils, Site Operations, Marine, Tunnelling, Nuclear Island, Balance of Plant, etc) to understand the construction activity and related safety risks, which may require an emergency response in the event of an incident.
They must be confident in the recovery process post-incident/event, including evidence collection, investigation and returning to Business As Usual (BAU).
This is a duty role, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Role holders will complete 12-hour shifts on a 4-on-4-off rotation, including days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.

Salary: Up to £75,000 per annum or £34.25 per hour
Average 42 hours per week, based on a 12-hour shift pattern rotating through days, nights and weekends. Built into this pattern is a period of Mon to Fri office-based continuity and management of the function.
