About The Role
We are recruiting for INA Assessment Branch Nuclear Safety Engineer to join our team.
Although the Contractual Location is Gloucester Business Park, we are offering a Flexible Working Location.
The Opportunity
Are you inquisitive? Do you see yourself as an influential individual within the Business? And do you want to help the Business achieve and deliver against its ambitions?
Within the Assessment Branch, we have Nuclear Safety Engineers covering the breadth of technical disciplines required by the Company. As a qualified Nuclear Safety Engineer, you will be responsible for the provision of internal regulation on nuclear safety, with a focus on Design and Safety Case aspects.
A key responsibility within this role will be the undertaking of Independent Nuclear Safety Assessment (INSA) on proposed plant and safety case changes. In addition, you will be expected to provide advice and guidance on nuclear safety, licensing and compliance matters throughout the company and to support INA’s wider assurance activities.
We have a wide portfolio covering generation, defueling, AGR life extension and Sizewell Long Term Operation, and this latter workstream is anticipated to provide work for a number of years to come.
We are also building links with our Internal Regulator colleagues in Hinkley C and Sizewell C organisations.
Pay, Benefits And Culture
We can offer a competitive salary with terms and conditions covered by the EDF Nuclear Generation Company Agreement. The starting salary will be dependent on your existing salary, competence, experience and qualifications. Your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.
