Sizewell C isn't just a nuclear power station - it's a vital part of Britain's clean energy future. By joining our team, you'll contribute to one of the UK's most ambitious and exciting infrastructure projects, helping power millions of homes and supporting the transition to net zero. INA is the internal regulator for the Sizewell C (SZC) project, providing independent oversight across a broad scope of project activities. Our work is risk-informed, enabling us to support, regulate, inspect and assure activities, arrangements, decision-making and behaviours across the project. Our mission is to deliver efficient, effective and trusted independent regulation that upholds standards and enables continual improvement throughout the SZC Project, upholding standards and enabling continual improvement.
Role: INA Site Inspector - Civil Engineering
As a Site Inspector within INA's Independent Site Inspection Team you will take the lead in the independent oversight of site civil engineering activities. You will provide assurance that construction works are being planned and executed in line with approved designs and appropriate standards, while meeting key safety and quality requirements. Your role will empower you to challenge gaps, promote best practice, and support high-quality, safe and compliant delivery. You will engage with the client team, contractors, designers, external regulators and a wide range of stakeholders through site walkdowns, independent assessments (technical and non-technical), and observation of key site activities. There will also be opportunities to broaden your skills through involvement in other areas within INA's remit, such as Environment, Emergency Preparedness and Security.
We are seeking an experienced Civil Engineer who has ideally worked on major, multi-disciplinary construction projects, as well as within a design environment. We are looking for the following knowledge and experience:
Technical qualifications
* Degree qualification in Civil Engineering (or closely related discipline).
* Progressing towards or holding Chartered status with the ICE or IStructE.
* Strong knowledge of civil engineering design and construction processes and standards, with an ability to identify risks and propose alternative solutions.
* Ability to interpret construction information (drawings, models, bar bending schedules, specifications) and undertake site inspections to assess site conformance with the above.
* Ability to review construction RAMS and undertake site inspections to assess site conformance with these.
* Ability to review design output and confirm alignment with construction information.
* Have a keen eye for detail, experienced in report writing and ability to articulate complex issues.
* Experience in construction management is desirable but not essential.
* An understanding of key CDM responsibilities is beneficial.
Non-Technical qualifications
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with others within the INA team and across Sizewell C.
* A willingness and ability to appropriately challenge unsafe behaviours or practices.
* Ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
* Commitment to the highest standards of safety and quality.
Ready to Make an Impact?
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.
