Power up your career with Sizewell C

We’re looking for an experienced Risk Integration Manager to join Sizewell C and help shape how risk management supports some of the most important decisions on one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects.

Although risk reporting will be an important part of your role, we’re looking for someone who understands both enterprise and major project risk, can see how the two connect and knows how to turn complex information into meaningful insight for senior decision-makers.

You’ll work across the business to bring together risk, controls and assurance information, identify significant themes and dependencies, and help develop a clear picture of the risks that matter most to Sizewell C. Just as importantly, you’ll help us understand what those risks mean for our strategic objectives, project delivery and the decisions we need to make.

Why Join Sizewell C?

We’re building a new nuclear power station that will play an important part in Britain’s future energy system. Behind a project of this scale sits an extraordinary level of complexity, with significant challenges across engineering, construction, commercial delivery, regulation and governance.

Sizewell C is responsible for the design, construction, commissioning, operation and eventual decommissioning of the nuclear power plant and associated infrastructure in Suffolk. During construction, our focus is on delivering the project on time, on budget and to the highest quality and safety standards.

Effective risk management is fundamental to achieving those objectives.

You’ll join us at an important stage in the project’s development, with the opportunity to help strengthen our Enterprise Risk Management Framework and improve how risk information is assessed, communicated and used across the organisation.

Why Join Us as a Risk Integration Manager?

This is an opportunity to make a real contribution to how risk management operates across one of the UK’s most complex infrastructure projects.

You won’t simply be maintaining risk registers or producing reports. You’ll help shape how we identify and assess our most significant risks, understand the relationships between project delivery and enterprise exposures, and ensure that the right information reaches the right people.

You’ll work at the intersection of enterprise risk, project risk, internal controls and assurance, giving you visibility across Sizewell C and the opportunity to influence how risk informs strategic planning, investment, prioritisation and performance.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting underneath complex information, is comfortable challenging established thinking and can work with stakeholders at all levels to turn risk analysis into practical recommendations.

If you enjoy seeing the bigger picture, asking the questions that matter and helping organisations make better-informed decisions, this is an opportunity to put those skills to good use.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Risk, Controls & Assurance, you’ll play a leading role in the development, operation and continuous improvement of our enterprise risk management arrangements.

You’ll work closely with the PMO Risk function and stakeholders across Sizewell C to strengthen the connection between project and enterprise risk management, while supporting the development of our strategic risk assessment, emerging risk and reporting processes.

You’ll also line manage the Risk & Controls Analyst, helping develop the team’s analytical and reporting capability.

As a Risk Integration Manager you’ll:

- Lead the review and assessment of strategic and corporate risks, working with risk owners to ensure significant exposures are appropriately identified, assessed, managed and reported.

- Strengthen the connection between enterprise and project risk management, ensuring information flows effectively through the risk hierarchy and supports decisions at the appropriate level.

- Work closely with PMO Risk to understand project risk assessments, quantitative risk analysis, contingency and Estimate at Completion information, and how these influence the wider enterprise risk profile.

- Support the development and continuous improvement of our Enterprise Risk Management Framework, including risk assessment methodologies, risk appetite, escalation and governance arrangements.

- Help develop our approach to identifying, assessing and monitoring emerging risks, drawing on information from across the business and the wider external environment.

- Bring together insight from Enterprise Risk, Internal Controls and Integrated Assurance to develop a more complete understanding of Sizewell C’s most significant exposures.

- Identify significant themes, dependencies, emerging issues and areas of uncertainty across a complex major programme, and assess their implications for our strategic objectives.

- Develop clear, insightful risk reporting, thematic reviews and deep dives for senior management and governance forums, including the Executive Committee and Audit & Risk Committee.

- Provide constructive challenge to risk owners and stakeholders, helping improve the quality of risk assessments, the adequacy of responses and the effectiveness of risk management arrangements.

- Work with stakeholders across the project to ensure risk information informs business planning, investment, prioritisation, change and performance management.

- Improve the quality, consistency and use of risk data, including the effective use of risk management systems and reporting tools.

- Lead and develop the Risk & Controls Analyst, setting clear priorities and assuring the quality of analytical outputs.

- Represent Enterprise Risk, Controls & Assurance within relevant governance forums and deputise for the Head of Enterprise Risk, Controls & Assurance where required.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with at least 7 years’ relevant experience who understands risk management within the realities of delivering a large, complex programme.

Most importantly, you’ll bring strong enterprise risk management experience alongside a good understanding of major project risk. You’ll understand how risks identified at project and delivery level can contribute to wider enterprise exposures, and how that information should be assessed, challenged and communicated to influence strategic decisions.

You’ll be comfortable working with complex and sometimes incomplete information, engaging with senior stakeholders and providing constructive challenge where needed.

The successful candidate will bring:

- Strong experience in enterprise risk management, including strategic or corporate risk assessment, reporting and governance.

- A good understanding of project risk management and how project-level risks, dependencies and quantitative assessments connect to wider enterprise exposures.

- Experience developing or improving risk management frameworks, methodologies, processes and reporting arrangements.

- An understanding of risk appetite, emerging risk identification and the role of risk management in strategic and operational decision-making.

- Strong analytical and systems-thinking capability, with the ability to identify connections, dependencies and significant themes across a large organisation.

- Experience translating complex risk and business information into clear, evidence-based reporting and recommendations for senior management and governance forums.

- The confidence to engage with, influence and constructively challenge senior stakeholders across organisational boundaries.

- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to build effective working relationships across technical, commercial and corporate functions.

- A good understanding of internal controls, assurance and the Three Lines Model.

- Experience leading cross-functional activities, developing processes and improving the quality of management information.

- Experience managing and developing professional staff.

- Strong Microsoft 365 and Excel capability, with experience using data analysis and reporting tools.

Experience using Power BI and Active Risk Manager would be beneficial, but isn’t essential.

Experience with quantitative risk techniques, including Monte Carlo analysis, scenario modelling, contingency and Estimate at Completion processes, would also be advantageous.

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have worked within major infrastructure, construction, nuclear, energy, utilities or comparable large-scale programmes, including those who have developed relevant experience within major consulting environments.

Qualifications

You’ll have a degree-level qualification or equivalent professional experience within risk management, governance, business, finance, assurance, audit, project management or a related discipline.

A relevant professional qualification or membership across risk, governance, assurance, audit, finance or project management is also required, or demonstrably equivalent professional experience.

Professional membership or qualifications from organisations such as the Institute of Risk Management, Institute of Internal Auditors, Association for Project Management, ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA would be advantageous.
