About the Role
The SZC Jobs Service supports local people into exciting, long-term careers across our Project. As an Environmental Manager for Sizewell C, you will lead the development, implementation, and monitoring of the project Environmental Management System (EMS) in line with ISO 14001 and client requirements. You will ensure all environmental obligations, including contractual, Development Consent Order (DCO) requirements, permits, and licences, are identified, understood, and met by the project team and subcontractors. Your role includes overseeing environmental risk identification, assessment, and the implementation of effective control measures across all project phases.

You will establish and maintain strong relationships with regulators and statutory bodies such as the Environment Agency, Natural England, and local authorities. Representing the project in environmental forums, client meetings, audits, and regulatory inspections will be key responsibilities. You will support bid submissions, technical queries, and stakeholder engagement activities related to environmental management, as well as coordinate technical engineers and draftspersons in the UK.

Leading engagement with subcontractors and supply chain partners to ensure consistent compliance and best practice across interfaces and scopes is essential. You will oversee and coordinate third-party environmental surveys, assessments, and specialist consultancy input. Defining and monitoring environmental performance indicators, producing accurate monthly and quarterly reports for senior leadership and the client, and developing project-specific environmental improvement plans aligned to biodiversity, sustainability, and carbon reduction commitments will be part of your duties.

Additionally, you will capture, share, and embed lessons learned and improvement opportunities. Leading the delivery of environmental training, briefings, and awareness sessions to project and subcontractor teams is required to ensure environmental controls are embedded into site activities through monitoring regimes, method statements, permit systems, inspection programmes, and audits. Regular site visits to verify compliance, coach operational teams, and support effective implementation of environmental controls will be expected.
