About the Role:
The Senior Nuclear Safety Specialist will be responsible for deterministic nuclear safety assessment for build and commission of Dreadnought and future class submarines.
This involves authoring of nuclear safety cases including results of deterministic and probabilistic analyses of the submarine build and commission activities.
The role requires ALARP assessments of new and legacy facilities and equipment, as well as definition, agreement, and implementation of safety case requirements.
Additionally, the candidate will have potential line management and development responsibilities for less senior team-members and manage internal and external interfaces such as Engineering Authorities, Human Factors, regulatory bodies, and MOD.
About You:
To succeed in this role, you must have a degree-level qualification in a relevant discipline (engineering or physical sciences) and previous experience in safety analysis and safety case production for high-hazard industries.
Chartered engineer status or actively working toward it is desirable, as well as previous experience working for a nuclear site and/or on the submarine programme.
A background in nuclear and/or safety degree programmes at universities such as Heriot-Watt, Aberdeen, Cranfield, Strathclyde, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham would also be beneficial.
What We Offer:
You'll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, including a pension scheme, enhanced annual leave allowance, and a Company contributed Share Incentive Plan.
Flexible working options, an employee assistance programme, Cycle2work, and employee discounts are also available.
In addition, you may be eligible for an annual incentive.
About Our Team:
The site safety case team is approximately 30 strong and growing as we undertake the Dreadnought and Site Redevelopment Programmes.
We offer relocation support packages across all Submarines roles, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
