Milestone solidarity agreement signed at Sizewell C

On Monday, we were one of the contractors that signed solidarity agreements to provide ‘best in class’ employment conditions for the thousands of construction workers who will build Britain’s newest nuclear power station, Sizewell C.

They set out how Sizewell C will promote a strong safety culture while providing workers with the highest possible standards of health, safety and welfare services, including mental health services.The project will also offer high standard accommodation and promote a diverse and inclusive working environment.

Lee Bridges, Strategic Projects Director, said: “Monday marked a milestone for NG Bailey where we agreed on the standards and behaviours expected of everyone involved in building this important energy project. This builds on our work at Hinkley Point C and we are delighted that workers will experience an agreed package of employment conditions befitting a project of this scale."

Sizewell C’s Joint Managing Director, Nigel Cann, said: “Sizewell C is one of the most important energy projects in the UK and we want it to be one of the best places to work. These balanced agreements will help build a spirit of partnership by giving everyone on the project common goals and clear working arrangements. They put us in an even stronger position as we gain momentum and prepare for site earthworks to start.”

Mark Dearden, MEH Alliance Director, said: “While the Mechanical, Electrical and HVAC on-site installation scope will not commence for several years, today’s agreement signifies a major milestone for the Alliance Industry Partners and establishes a really critical, solid and consistent rewards platform for all our employees.”
