About the Role

As a Carbon Specialist, you'll be responsible for building and embedding best practice carbon management across the Sizewell C project. This is an exciting role, ideal for someone with a background in sustainability and change management who thrives on influencing others and driving behavioural change.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Leading the development and improvement of our Carbon Management System in line with PAS 2080.
• Designing and delivering carbon awareness campaigns and training programmes.
• Translating complex carbon strategies into clear, engaging messages for diverse audiences.
• Collaborating with internal teams and supply chain partners to embed low-carbon thinking into everyday practices.
• Supporting sustainability reporting and sharing success stories across the project.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with:

• 3–5 years' experience in a similar carbon/sustainability role.
• A degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Communications, Education, or a related field is desirable but not essential if you hold relevant experience.
• Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and project management skills.
• Experience working with major infrastructure projects (e.g., HS2, National Highways, National Grid, or consultancies such as Atkins, Mott MacDonald, etc.).
• A passion for sustainability and the ability to inspire change.

Why Join Sizewell C?

Sizewell C is a once in a generation infrastructure project that will power millions of homes with low-carbon electricity, support the UK's net zero goals, and create thousands of jobs. As part of our team, you'll:

• Help shape the sustainability culture of a nationally significant project.
• Work in a collaborative, forward thinking environment that values innovation and impact.
• Be based in London or Suffolk, with flexible working options (typically 2 days/week in the office).
• Join a project that's committed to building a greener, more sustainable future.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you're ready to use your sustainability expertise to drive real change on a major infrastructure project, we'd love to hear from you.

Join the team at Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.

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.
