* Understanding and applying the appropriate level of quality and governance to internal hazards reports and any associated submissions.
* Undertaking and presenting the internal hazards outputs in support of licensing efforts.
* Represent internal hazards at appropriate internal technical and project reviews and at external meetings with the regulator and other stakeholders.
* Assessment of candidate sites for Power Stations with respect to internal hazards and other factors.
* Training and mentoring others.
* Modelling and analysing the impact of internal hazards.
Key selection criteria for this role are:
