Seeking an Environmental Assurance Lead

Are you ready to embark on a fulfilling career at the forefront of project innovation, where your contributions can have a significant impact? We are expanding our Sizewell C (SZC) team, engaging in one of the UK's most ambitious megaprojects, pivotal to the nation's climate change initiatives and energy strategy. The SZC Project, a nuclear new build in Suffolk, has secured planning approval and government financial backing, and is currently in the construction phase, actively pursuing private investment. Upon completion, this project will deliver reliable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, supporting the UK's goal of achieving Net Zero by 2050 alongside renewable energy sources.

Role Overview

As the Environmental Assurance Lead, you will be the primary authority on environmental compliance within the Sizewell C initiative. You will lead a team of skilled environmental engineers, ensuring adherence to environmental regulations throughout the design, procurement, and construction stages.

Your key duties will include conducting environmental compliance assessments, creating risk-based audit methodologies, investigating environmental incidents, and communicating findings to senior management and regulatory bodies.

Furthermore, you will be responsible for developing environmental performance metrics, recommending corrective measures, influencing key stakeholders, and acting as the liaison with the Environment Agency and other regulatory entities.

Key Responsibilities

In this capacity, you will oversee environmental assurance activities across all project phases, establish and uphold rigorous audit and monitoring protocols, and ensure compliance with the Development Consent Order (DCO), Code of Construction Practice (CoCP), and other necessary environmental permits. You will serve as a technical advisor and informed client within the environmental sector, leading performance evaluations, audits, and the execution of corrective actions.

Join us in making a lasting positive impact on both the environment and the economy.
