04Be part of something bigger

At Sizewell C, we’re building one of Britain’s most important infrastructure projects, a new nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast that will play an important role in the UK’s energy future.

With a project of this scale and complexity comes the need for brilliant assurance. We need confidence that the right things are being looked at, the right risks are understood, and assurance activity across the organisation is connected, coordinated and giving our leaders the insight they need.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for an experienced Integrated Assurance Lead to help operate and continuously improve integrated assurance across Sizewell C, bringing together assurance activity across the Three Lines Model and helping create a clear enterprise wide view of assurance coverage, risks, gaps and emerging themes.

Why join Sizewell C?

This is your chance to play a key role on a nationally significant, highly complex and regulated infrastructure programme.You’ll join Sizewell C at an incredibly exciting stage of its development, working across a diverse organisation and helping strengthen how we connect risk, controls and assurance to support better decision making.You’ll be working with teams across Finance, Commercial, PMO, Quality, Internal Audit, Independent Nuclear Assurance, Safety, Security & Assurance and other areas across the business.

Why join us as our Integrated Assurance Lead?

This isn’t a role where you’ll sit on the sidelines reviewing assurance activity.You’ll be at the centre of it, connecting assurance providers and business teams, challenging where something doesn’t quite add up, spotting gaps and duplication, and turning complex assurance information into clear insight.Stakeholder management is a huge part of this role. You’ll need to be comfortable going back and forth with stakeholders to get the right information, build strong relationships and provide constructive challenge. Crucially, you’ll know how to read the room and adapt your approach, whether you’re working with operational colleagues, functional leaders or senior executives.You’ll also take day to day ownership of the Integrated Assurance and Audit Plan, bringing together inputs from multiple assurance providers and ensuring activity, ownership, timing, outputs and dependencies remain visible and current.

06What we’re looking for
