What you will be doing
As Deputy FSCO your key accountabilities will be to assist the FSCO to:
* Maintain a safe envelope and provide safety oversight for the nuclear facilities and key site programmes.
* Ensure safety implications are fully considered and changes are appropriately sponsored and approved through site due process.
* Ensure that the facility is optimised to comply with the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle.
* Provide practical and technical advice on applicable site safety management arrangements, facility and process safety cases taking account of enterprise and industry best practice.
* Provide cover for the FSCO which will be enabled by comparative qualification to FSCO level.
Who we're looking for:
At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.
* Experience working within an engineering discipline is essential.
* Degree qualified in an engineering or science-based subject or relevant industry experience. Experience working in the nuclear industry or other well-regulated environment is highly desirable.
* Good understanding and demonstrable experience of safety case production, development and review.
* Strong interpersonal and effective communication skills (both verbal and written) and the ability to confidently interface with stakeholders at all levels within the organisation.
* The ability to write well-structured reports that present clear arguments with a sound basis for recommendations.
* Enthusiastic, motivated and committed to delivering continuous improvement in challenging circumstances.
* Good project management skills.
* Professional registration through a recognised institute is desirable.
We are an equal opportunities employer. We're committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business, an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.
