Description
About The Role
Be part of a once-in-a-generation infrastructure project that will help power 6 million homes with clean, reliable energy for decades to come.
Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station is a landmark development on the Suffolk coast, delivering a 3.2GW nuclear power station that will play a critical role in the UK’s low-carbon future.
The project is delivered through the Civil Works Alliance — a unique partnership between Balfour Beatty, Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O'Rourke — combining world-class expertise from major global infrastructure programmes.
Within this, the Geotechnical Sub Alliance (GSA) is responsible for delivering complex ground engineering works, including piling, ground improvement and diaphragm walls, from January 2026 to mid-2028.
As a Logistics Assistant, you’ll play a vital role in keeping this major operation running smoothly — ensuring materials, equipment and people are in the right place, at the right time, every day.
This is a site-based support role within the GSA logistics function, working closely with the Logistics Manager, site teams and the wider Alliance to deliver safe, efficient and well-coordinated operations.
