We are recruiting for an experienced and forward-thinking Geospatial Monitoring Manager to join our team at the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), as we support the development of one of the UK’s most ambitious energy infrastructure projects – Sizewell C.

Sizewell C will be a 3.2-gigawatt low-carbon nuclear power station, set to power around 6 million homes for at least 60 years. As part of this once-in-a-generation project, you’ll have the opportunity to lead on geospatial monitoring strategy and execution in a way that directly contributes to the safety, efficiency, and integrity of our infrastructure delivery.

In this role, you’ll manage the planning, deployment, and optimisation of monitoring systems across a complex civil engineering environment. You’ll work closely with surveyors, engineers, and project managers, overseeing the integration of spatial data into every phase of construction and asset management. Whether it’s deformation tracking, hydrological change, or structural movement – your insights will be key to driving early intervention, safety assurance, and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement geospatial monitoring strategies across core civil infrastructure, including earthworks, bridges, tunnels, and buildings.

• Lead a multidisciplinary team delivering monitoring services, supporting both in-field operations and office-based analysis.

• Oversee acquisition and processing of data from drone surveys, LiDAR, satellite imaging, and ground-based sensors.

• Analyse geospatial trends, detect ground movement or structural changes, and provide early warning insights to engineering and project teams.

• Maintain and manage integrated geospatial systems, including GIS-BIM platforms, 3D models, and civil engineering-compatible databases.

• Ensure all data and monitoring activities comply with regulatory, safety and nuclear assurance standards.

• Produce and present clear reports and visualisations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Provide training, mentorship, and capability-building across teams in spatial analysis and monitoring technologies.

Core Competencies Required:

• Strong leadership in managing geospatial monitoring programmes and multidisciplinary teams.

• Advanced technical skills in GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS), remote sensing, and monitoring platforms (e.g. Leica GeoMoS, Pix4D, Civil 3D).

• Familiarity with civil engineering workflows, infrastructure life cycles, and asset condition monitoring.

• Proficiency in spatial data processing, modelling, and automation using Python, SQL or similar scripting tools.

• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to generate engineering-relevant insights from spatial datasets.

• High standard of communication, capable of translating complex data into practical engineering action.

• Attention to regulatory compliance and a strong commitment to safety, especially in a nuclear context.

• Experience working in a high-stakes, multi-stakeholder infrastructure environment.

The role will be based on-site in Suffolk, with flexibility for hybrid working depending on project needs.
