About the Role
The Geotechnical Sub Alliance (GSA) is at the forefront of the Sizewell C nuclear power station development - one of the UK’s largest and most exciting infrastructure programmes.
We’re responsible for preparing the foundations of the entire site: designing and constructing cut‑off walls, retaining structures, soil improvements and more. Using advanced geotechnical engineering and world‑class construction technologies, this is a rare opportunity to contribute to a national project that will shape the UK’s clean‑energy future.
Role Overview
As Works Manager you will lead the day-to-day delivery of specialist geotechnical works at Sizewell C, with a particular focus on Diaphragm Wall (D-Wall), P-Wall and soil mixing.
The role will provide site-based leadership to construction teams and specialist subcontractors, ensuring works are delivered safely, to programme, to specification and in accordance with the stringent requirements of a nuclear construction environment.
