The Opportunity
We're looking for a talented Senior Internal Auditor, IT to join our growing Internal Audit team and play a key role in providing independent assurance across technology, cyber security, digital transformation and operational technology risks across Sizewell C.
This is an excellent opportunity for an IT Auditor or Technology Risk professional who enjoys understanding how organisations manage technology risk, assessing whether controls are operating effectively, and providing valuable assurance and insight to the business. The role sits firmly within audit, risk and assurance rather than hands-on technical IT delivery.
You’ll lead and deliver technology-focused audit engagements, evaluate cyber and technology controls, engage with senior stakeholders, and help strengthen governance, risk management and internal controls across one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects.
Why Join as a Senior Internal Auditor, IT?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has built a solid foundation in IT Audit, Technology Risk or Assurance and is looking to take on broader ownership of audits and stakeholder engagement.
You'll have the opportunity to lead audit engagements from planning through to reporting, assess cyber security and technology controls, influence improvements to governance and risk management, and work directly with senior stakeholders across the business. You'll also gain exposure to major infrastructure delivery, emerging technologies, digital transformation and operational technology environments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
For someone looking to deepen their expertise in technology assurance while developing their career within a supportive and growing Internal Audit function, this is an exceptional opportunity.
What You'll Be Doing
As Senior Internal Auditor, IT, you will:
- Plan, lead and deliver IT internal audit engagements from initial scoping through to reporting.
- Assess the effectiveness of IT governance, cyber security, information security and technology risk management arrangements.
- Test IT General Controls including access management, change management, incident management and third-party technology controls.
- Conduct interviews, gather evidence and evaluate the effectiveness of key controls.
- Prepare high-quality audit documentation, findings and reports.
- Develop practical recommendations that strengthen governance, risk management and control frameworks.
- Work with stakeholders to agree actions and track implementation progress.
- Support audit planning activities and contribute to the ongoing development of the Internal Audit Plan.
- Build strong relationships across the business while maintaining independence and objectivity.
- Collaborate with co-source providers and other assurance teams to improve overall assurance coverage.
What We're Looking For
The hiring team is particularly interested in candidates who offer a combination of both IT Audit and Internal Audit experience. This could be someone who started in technology audit and gained broader internal audit experience, or someone from internal audit who has developed strong technology risk expertise. Having exposure to both is essential.
You'll ideally bring:
- Strong recent experience within IT Audit, Technology Risk, Assurance or Controls.
- Experience delivering or leading audit engagements.
- Internal audit experience combined with technology audit or technology risk exposure.
- Experience testing IT controls and evaluating governance frameworks.
- Knowledge of cyber security governance, technology risk and assurance.
- Strong audit report writing and stakeholder management skills.

If you're an IT Auditor, Technology Risk professional or Assurance specialist looking for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and help strengthen the governance, controls and assurance that support one of the UK's most ambitious and nationally important infrastructure projects. Join Sizewell C and play your part in building a cleaner, more secure energy future.
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.
