Help Shape the UK’s Energy Future
Package Manager - Embbeded Items Opportunity with the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), Supporting Sizewell C
As part of the CWA (Civil Works Alliance), you will support the building of Sizewell C. Sizewell C will be a 3.2-gigawatt power station generating low-carbon electricity for around 6 million homes and will play a key role in our energy future, supplying reliable, clean electricity for at least 60 years. This role will be within the Main Civil Works Section.
What will you do?
The CWA is recruiting a Package Manager to play a critical role in the off‑site manufacture and on‑site integration of embedded items for the Sizewell C project. This role sits within Transverse Manufacturing and is focused on managing a Tier 1 supply chain responsible for complex, safety‑critical components manufactured at off‑site facilities.
The successful candidate will oversee the end‑to‑end delivery of embedded items, ensuring components are designed, manufactured, inspected, documented and delivered in full compliance with engineering, nuclear safety and quality requirements. Following manufacture, the role will also support the integration and installation of these components into the permanent works on site.
- Acting as the day‑to‑day engineering interface with the Tier 1 sub‑contractor responsible for embedded item fabrication
- Leading technical coordination across engineering, design, manufacturing and construction teams
- Ensuring early and accurate interpretation of Engineering Design Releases and interface requirements
- Managing RFI, FCR and NCR processes in line with Sizewell C governance
- Reviewing and approving manufacturing drawings, specifications and technical documentation
- Ensuring compliance with nuclear‑grade quality requirements, including welding, NDT, material traceability and dimensional control
- Supporting design optimisation for manufacturability and installation sequencing
- Maintaining configuration control and managing change through agreed governance routes
- Identifying and mitigating risks across the manufacturing lifecycle
- Championing a strong culture of safety, quality and right‑first‑time delivery across the supply chain
- Supporting integration and installation activities once components are delivered to site
What are we looking for?
The CWA is looking for candidates who bring:
- A degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent experience)
- Significant experience in off‑site fabrication of complex steel components or embedded parts
- Strong knowledge of large‑scale, regulated infrastructure projects, ideally within nuclear environments
- Proven experience managing suppliers and manufacturing performance
- The ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, specifications and interface data
- A strong focus on health, safety and quality compliance
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solution‑focused approach
- Experience working within robust technical governance and configuration control processes
Desirable experience includes nuclear new build projects, high‑volume manufacturing environments, NEC contracts, and digital manufacturing or stores management systems.
Please note that appointment to this role is subject to security vetting, which typically requires UK residency for at least three of the last five years
