Internal Communications Manager

Why Join as an Internal Communications Manager?

This is not a role where you’ll simply wait for a finished brief to land.

You’ll be at the heart of a fast paced and constantly evolving project, finding stories, advising stakeholders and shaping communications from the earliest stages. You’ll take complex, technical or sensitive information and turn it into content that is clear, practical and engaging.

Whether you’re communicating an important safety message, supporting a major milestone, helping leaders connect with the workforce or celebrating the people delivering the project, your work will help shape how Sizewell C feels, communicates and operates.

There are two opportunities available, each supporting a broad portfolio of business priorities. One position will have a stronger focus on day to day site communications and delivery, while the other will support wider site operations and corporate priorities, including safety and workforce communications. The portfolios may continue to evolve as the project grows.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partnering with leaders, project teams, operational functions and subject matter experts to plan and deliver effective communications
• Taking a brief, finding the strongest angle and turning it into a clear and compelling story
• Translating complex, technical, operational or sensitive information into accessible and audience focused content
• Creating communications plans, briefings, presentations, talking points, campaigns and workforce updates
• Supporting communications across safety, wellbeing, culture, construction, logistics, milestones and operational change
• Supporting crisis communications and the communication response to significant incidents, emerging risks and sensitive issues.
• Advising and constructively challenging stakeholders to improve the clarity, timing and impact of communications
• Supporting leadership communications, workforce forums, roadshows, engagement sessions, recognition activity and site visits
• Managing and improving internal channels, including digital platforms, screens, newsletters, briefings and email communications
• Building strong relationships with contractor communications teams and delivery partners to create consistent messaging across the site
• Spotting emerging priorities, risks and communications needs early and responding confidently in a fast moving environment
• Using storytelling to celebrate progress, showcase great work and build pride, connection and belonging across Sizewell C

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a talented communicator who can take complex or incomplete information and turn it into clear, engaging and impactful communications.

You'll bring:

• Experience in internal communications, corporate communications, employee engagement, stakeholder engagement or a similar communications role
• Exceptional writing, editing and storytelling skills, with the ability to adapt your style for different audiences and channels
• Confidence building relationships with and influencing senior stakeholders
• The ability to work effectively in a fast paced environment where priorities can change and not every detail is immediately available
• The ability to see the bigger picture, connecting local activity and priorities to the wider Sizewell C story and helping build a shared sense of purpose across the project
• A genuinely collaborative approach, with the willingness to lean in, support colleagues and help the whole team succeed.
• Strong planning, organisational and project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
• Experience creating communications plans, campaigns and content across a variety of channels
• Sound judgement, attention to detail and a proactive approach to spotting opportunities and solving problems
• The ability to build trusted relationships across teams, functions, contractors and delivery partners

Internal communications experience is preferred, but we're also keen to hear from candidates with backgrounds in external communications, corporate affairs, employee engagement or stakeholder management who can demonstrate excellent writing skills and strong stakeholder engagement.

Experience within infrastructure, construction, energy, government, the public sector or other complex operational environments would be advantageous, as would experience supporting culture, safety, wellbeing, engagement or change initiatives.

A formal communications qualification is welcome but not essential. Most importantly, we're looking for someone with outstanding communication skills, strong stakeholder management capabilities and a genuine passion for helping people understand what matters most.

Ready to Make Every Message Matter?

Apply now and help turn the Sizewell C story into communications that inform, inspire and move people to action.

When joining Sizewell C, you may wonder why you are contacted by colleagues with an EDF email or see the EDF logo on portals that you access and/or documentation you receive; this is because we have partnered with EDF for the provision of a number of support services whilst we complete a successful transition out of the EDF group.

At Sizewell C we encourage and embrace diversity and how it can improve our experience and performance at work. It is a requirement that those who join us have the right to work in the UK. Whilst sponsorship may be a possibility that we can explore, we are fully committed to local recruitment where possible, and those already holding the right to work in the UK.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
