About Sizewell C

Sizewell C is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects, delivering low carbon energy for generations. Joining us means contributing to a project of national importance, supporting energy security, regional growth, and long-term skilled employment.

We’re looking for a Quality Lead (CFSI Manager) to play a key role in safeguarding quality performance and protecting our project from Counterfeit, Fraudulent and Suspect Items (CFSI).

If you’re equipped to take ownership of quality excellence and risk prevention in a high profile environment, we’d love to hear from you. We are growing and expanding rapidly, and it’s an exciting time to join Sizewell C at the early stages. 

The Opportunity

As CFSI Manager you’ll work alongside the Head of Supplier Quality to assess supplier performance, turning insights into improvement programmes and elevating the overall quality delivered across our supply chain.

As the CFSI Manager, you’ll take the lead on developing and maintaining strong, proactive processes to identify, prevent and mitigate the highest level of CFSI risks. Ensuring these are identified and reported to the right parties to be addressed correctly. These activities will require you to interface with other parts of the key wider stakeholders for information sharing and gathering - particularly with our Regulators and internal / external auditors. 

Your work will directly strengthen the integrity and resilience of our supply chain, ensuring the right controls are in place to keep the project safe, compliant and future ready.
