Senior Engineer - Enabling Works & Earthworks - Sizewell C, Suffolk

SZC is ultimately owned by two shareholders, EDF and HMG. The shareholders hold their

investment in SZC through NNB Holdings Company (SZC) Limited. Over the course of the

current shareholding arrangements the shareholdings of the two shareholders will change.

The shareholders will fund SZC up until Financial Close through equity in line with the approved schedule

and budget. SZCs business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually

decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure (including activities relating to hydrogen,

direct air capture and / or desalination) at Sizewell C in Suffolk. The principal objectives of the current

development phase of the SZC project are to agree and implement the Capital Raise Plan, including

completing an equity and debt raise, agree the core supply chain contracts and obtain the regulatory permits

and licences required for the construction phase of the Project (including the core environmental permits

and nuclear site licence).

Prior to the government investment decision SZC operated as part of EDF in the Nuclear Development

business unit and was staffed by EDF colleagues and independent contractors who are now in the process

of transferring to the direct employment of SZC. It is setting itself up as an organisation capable of

delivering a new nuclear power plant, from investment case and funding, to construction, commissioning,

operations, maintenance and decommissioning.

The SZC construction programme has a technical and commercial business case predicated on technical

replication of Hinkley Point C. EDF will be an important supplier of nuclear capability for the SZC

Programme from its established nuclear business footprint in the UK.

Key stakeholders are : UK Government, relevant Government departments and agencies including Treasury

BEIS, EDF, Financial investors and institutions, Regulators, Alliance partners and local communities.
