Project Context
The Civil Works Programme comprises a series of projects delivered over a 10‑year period. The Civils Programme will deliver the Sizewell C Civil Engineering scope to support the MEH erection in the Nuclear, Conventional and Heat Sink islands. The Civil Works Programme is responsible for delivering the scope that includes enabling and earthworks, tunnelling and marine, and main civil engineering.
Scope
* Enabling and Earthworks: sea defences, access facilities, civil engineering work to support site establishment, diaphragm walling around the nuclear plant footprint, dewatering, excavation and earthworks.
* Tunnelling and Marine: beach landing facility, jetty, shafts and intake and outfall tunnels for the nuclear plant cooling systems.
* Main civil engineering: technical galleries, cooling system pipework, foundation base slab and over 70 large buildings for the nuclear plant.
Responsibilities
* Take a global overview of the nuclear power plant Systems, Structures and Components (SSCs) within their programme, with a view to maximise replication from HPC and prepare for key contracts to be awarded.
* Be responsible for the timely delivery of engineering studies by the RD or key contractors and ensure they meet the needs of the SZC project.
* Prepare with the multidisciplinary team specific post‑FID contracts (terms & conditions, contractual appendices and technical specification).
* Drive the implementation of SZC site‑specific design changes into design deliverables in the programme, including contract specifications to enable robust pricing.
* Manage internal interfaces (between contracts and systems) and external interfaces (between programme scopes) to ensure a coordinated approach to design and delivery.
* Manage early engagement with stakeholders (including equipment suppliers) to identify obsolescence issues and other risks to replication.
* Manage the technical elements of the procurement process for specific contracts.
* Ensure that lessons‑learnt and knowledge‑capture are practiced as business as usual.
* Develop and implement strategies and plans in line with the overall programme execution plan (PEP).
* Define the work scope to be delivered within the contract or package of work and the interfaces to other elements of the programme.
* Drive the delivery of the contract or package activities to ensure they are delivered safely, on time, to budget, meeting business & technical requirements.
* Ensure that contract or package contractual requirements are fulfilled.
* Work with multidisciplinary teams to prepare manufacturing and construction contracts.
* Drive the implementation of SZC site‑specific design changes.
