Principal Quality Engineer (Quality Management Lead)

We are recruiting Principal Quality Engineers (PQEs) to support the Sizewell C (SZC) project — a proposed new nuclear power station that will play a major role in reducing UK carbon emissions. As a PQE, you will ensure that quality requirements are met across the full nuclear project lifecycle, from contract award through design, procurement, manufacturing, testing, shipping, construction, commissioning and contract close‑out. You will help deliver the project right first time by embedding high-quality standards throughout. PQEs support projects within Matrix Multi‑Discipline Teams (MDTs), providing quality assurance, management and control. You will ensure suppliers and clients meet their contractual quality obligations, develop Project Quality Control Plans, and manage related inspection and surveillance activities. You will also support wider programme quality arrangements, including Manufacturing Inspection and Test Plans, Lifetime Quality Records (LTQRs), Non‑Conformance management, Root Cause Analysis and auditing. This may involve working on client sites or at subcontractor facilities in the UK or overseas. Acting as the “Intelligent Customer,” you will help ensure that manufactured equipment and construction works comply with contract designs and technical specifications, always upholding the highest nuclear safety standards.
