US-based engineering services company Jacobs has been selected by Sizewell C for its Professional Services Framework to support delivery of the UK’s Sizewell C NPP in Suffolk. The five-year framework will provide programme management and project delivery services. Jacobs will provide strategic leadership, programme integration, and design and engineering support to meet Sizewell C’s highly regulated technical and delivery requirements.
Jacobs Executive Vice President Europe Richard Sanderson said: “Through this Framework, Jacobs will help establish the structures, systems and governance needed for safe, efficient and integrated delivery of this nationally important program. Our role will focus on enhancing collaboration, strengthening delivery capability and advancing low-carbon power generation to support economic growth and energy security.”
The Sizewell C project is expected to support tens of thousands of jobs across the UK, create 1,500 apprenticeships, and deliver billions of pounds in local, regional and national supply chain opportunities. Once operational, the station, with two EPR reactors, is expected to generate around 3.2 GWe, supporting decarbonisation and reducing reliance on imported energy.
Jacobs continues to play a leading role in the UK’s civil nuclear industry, contributing to major programmes such as Hinkley Point C and Sellafield.
