About The Role
You’ll play a key role in supporting clients across the full nuclear lifecycle - new build, operations, life extension, and decommissioning. Your work will include:
* Developing, reviewing and assessing safety cases, safety arguments and supporting documentation
* Producing hazard identification, fault analyses, ALARP assessments and safety justifications
* Providing expert input into nuclear safety management, licensing and regulatory compliance
* Working collaboratively with engineering and project teams to ensure safety is embedded throughout project delivery

YOUR IMPACT
As an experienced Radiological Safety Consultant, you will provide authoritative technical leadership that directly strengthens the safety, compliance, and performance of our clients’ nuclear operations. Your work will ensure radiological risks are understood, effectively controlled, and aligned with regulatory expectations across the full project lifecycle. In this role, you will improve the robustness and clarity of nuclear safety cases, giving clients and regulators stronger assurance in project safety. Reduce radiological risk by ensuring hazards are identified early and controlled through well‑founded, evidence‑based arguments and enable smoother, more confident project delivery by bringing radiological considerations into design and planning at the right time.
