Suffolk’s engineering scene just got a huge vote of confidence. The government has committed £14.2 billion to build Sizewell C, a new nuclear power station on our coastline that’s expected to power six million homes.
More than that, it’s going to create 10,000 jobs and 1,500 apprenticeships during construction. This kind of investment reflects the strength and potential of our region’s engineering talent - something we champion every day at JMS Engineers.
Engineering Momentum in the East
This is the largest infrastructure investment our region has seen in decades. With so many roles in construction, civil works, project planning and design, Sizewell C is putting Suffolk’s engineering talent on the map.
As a local company with offices across East Anglia, we know how much skill, knowledge, and hard work already exists in our communities. And when projects like this come along, they create a ripple effect. People gain new experience. New specialists enter the workforce. Regional companies like ours get to grow alongside the boom.
From Nuclear to Neighbourhoods
When the dust settles and the Sizewell C workforce starts looking ahead to their next challenge, we’ll be here. JMS Engineers has been delivering civil and structural engineering solutions in Suffolk for years - from residential and commercial developments to drainage and infrastructure design.
We’re proud of our roots. We’re proud of our people. And we know that while mega-projects may grab the headlines, it’s the everyday engineering that keeps our communities moving.
Looking Ahead
This moment is more than just big news - it’s a signal that the East of England is open for business. The government’s investment doesn’t just power homes. It powers careers. It powers growth.
And for companies like JMS Engineers, it’s a reminder that we’re part of a region with serious potential.
