About Sizewell C
What if your first career move could help shape Britain’s energy future?
Sizewell C is one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure projects, and we’re building more than a power station. We’re investing in people, developing skills, supporting communities and helping deliver the clean, reliable energy Britain will need for decades to come.
Once operational, Sizewell C will provide clean, reliable electricity for around 6 million homes for at least 60 years, supporting the UK’s transition to a low-carbon energy system and strengthening our energy security. The impact goes beyond energy too, creating thousands of jobs, supporting businesses and communities, and leaving a lasting skills legacy across the region and beyond.
We’re investing in the next generation of talent, with opportunities to gain real-world experience, learn from experienced professionals and develop skills that can take you into a long-term career. From engineering and nuclear to construction, business and sustainability, there are many ways to build your future here.
There’s no single route into a career at Sizewell C. We value different perspectives, experiences and ideas, and want young people from all backgrounds to have the opportunity to learn, grow, make a difference and help shape the future of energy.
