Job description

Join to apply for the Process & Accountability Lead role at Bouygues Travaux Publics.

Be part of this ‘once in a generation’ project that will deliver clean energy to 6 million homes for the next 60 years. Sizewell C will see the creation of a 3.2‑gigawatt nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast to provide reliable low‑carbon electricity.

The Civil Works Alliance is an extended delivery enterprise involving Sizewell C and three international construction companies: Balfour Beatty, Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O’Rourke. We are more than just an alliance; we are bringing together a single delivery organisation with years of experience from other major complex infrastructure programmes worldwide.

About The Role

The Senior Process & Accountability Lead will lead the design and mapping of CWA’s key processes, turning them into clear, visual flows and practical “how to” guidance within the Integrated Management System. They will define and maintain accountability frameworks (such as Linear Responsibility Matrices) to clarify who is responsible for what across delivery sections, functions and key stakeholders. A core part of the role is to drive implementation and adoption of these processes and accountabilities, ensuring they are understood, used and embedded in day‑to‑day delivery. The role will also lead and facilitate cross‑functional workshops, tracking process development progress, surfacing issues and opportunities of CWA’s ways of working.

• Take ownership of process mapping, defining and developing Integrated Management System controls that ensure our operations are robust, consistent, and fit for purpose.
• Identify and standardise urgent and critical processes, bringing clarity and efficiency to everything we do.
• Create clear, visual process maps and concise checklists, turning complex requirements into actionable steps.
• Track and report on key programme deliverables, shining a light on achievements and proactively addressing challenges.
• Lead accountability mapping (e.g. Linear Responsibility Matrix or RACI) across delivery teams, ensuring clear responsibilities and effective collaboration.
• Drive adoption and integration of processes and accountability frameworks across the CWA—your work will be embedded in our daily operations.
• Facilitate workshops that unite diverse stakeholders and enable strategic alignment.
• Constantly seek out and implement opportunities for improvement, keeping us at the forefront of best practice.

What We’re Looking For

• A BSc degree in engineering or science.
• Experience operating within large, complex organisations.
• Broad knowledge of key business functions—Finance, Health & Safety, ESG, Project Controls, Commercial, HR—as well as delivery areas like Pre‑construction and Logistics.
• A proven ability to develop and present process controls, including mapping ownership through RACI or similar frameworks.
• Skilled stakeholder engagement at senior levels.
• Confident in using visual management tools (such as Visio) to translate information into clear, accessible formats.
• Outstanding facilitation and interpersonal skills.
• Additional qualifications in LEAN, AGILE or Change Management are highly desirable.
