About the Role

As a Carbon Specialist, you'll be at the heart of Sizewell C's mission to reduce construction carbon emissions. Reporting to the Carbon Lead, you'll work closely with delivery teams, contractors, and supply chain partners to embed carbon reduction strategies into every stage of the project, from design and procurement to construction and operations.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting low-carbon design, procurement, and construction practices.

• Ensuring carbon requirements are integrated into procurement and delivery.
• Contributing to sustainability reporting and performance tracking.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone with:

• 5–10 years' experience in carbon management/ a similar role within construction or infrastructure.
• A degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Sustainability, or a related field is desirable but not essential if you hold relevant experience
• Strong understanding of low carbon construction strategies and diesel free technologies.
• Excellent 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.).

Why Join Sizewell C?

Sizewell C is more than just a nuclear power station, it's a once in a generation opportunity to be part of a project that will power millions of homes with low carbon electricity, create thousands of jobs, and leave a lasting legacy for the UK's energy future.

As part of our team, you'll:

• Work on a nationally significant infrastructure project with a strong sustainability mission.
• Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that values innovation and impact.
• Enjoy flexible working arrangements, with offices in London and Suffolk.
• Contribute to a project that's leading the way in diesel free construction and low carbon delivery.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you're ready to bring your expertise to a project that's shaping the UK's energy future, 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.
