Firm will also partner with College on the Coast initiative
Wilson James has been appointed to handle logistics support for Sizewell C.
Operating out of Orwell Logistics Park in Ipswich, the Essex-headquartered logistics specialist will be responsible for all aspects of logistics support, including warehousing, logistics planning, transport and distribution.
The firm said 350 jobs would be created as a result of the deal.
Sizewell C, a nuclear project which received a final investment decision from the government in the summer, has committed to spending £4.4bn in the East of England during the construction of the power station, of which £941m has so far been awarded.
“Wilson James have deep experience in major infrastructure projects – and they are expertly placed to deliver logistics sustainability, efficiently, and in a way that minimises impacts on local communities here in Suffolk,” said Nigel Cann, who was recently announced as chief executive of Sizewell C.
Wilson James has worked on several major UK infrastructure schemes in recent years, including Heathrow Airport and Hinkley Point C.
As part of the contract, it has agreed to partner with Sizewell C’s recently announced College on the Coast, which is set to open its doors to its first students in September 2027.
Gary Sullivan, chair and co-founder at Wilson James, said: “As an organisation founded in the East of England, this project means a great deal to us, both in terms of national infrastructure and the opportunity it creates for local people and supply chains.
“Our colleagues will be working closely with the Sizewell C’s education campus and partners across the community to unlock new careers in logistics, transport, warehousing and digital, and to inspire the next generation to pursue nuclear career pathways.”
