100 security jobs created at Suffolk's Sizewell C power plant

100 new security jobs have been created at the Sizewell nuclear power station in Suffolk - with work set to get to underway on a new reactor soon.

EDF has given G4S a £4.3m contract to look after site security and controlling access to the power plant.

So far, over 50 local residents have applied for positions, or are in the process of onboarding, including the Contract Manager, James Self:

“It’s so exciting to be working at Sizewell C and being involved in job creation for the people of Suffolk and East Anglia like myself.

"There’s going to be plenty of opportunities for those looking to change careers or get on the employment ladder, and they’ll be supported by an experienced and friendly team throughout their time with us."

The construction of Sizewell C is expected to take 10 years.
