Radiation Materials Coordinator / RPS Support – Westhill
(a.k.a. The Person Who Keeps the Radioactive Ducks in a Row)
Location: Westhill
If you’re the kind of person who likes systems organised, equipment accounted for, and safety handled properly — you might just be exactly who we’re looking for.
Working with ionising radiation isn’t dramatic. It’s disciplined, methodical, and built on people who understand that precision + process = safety. This role sits right at the centre of that equation.
We’re looking for someone who can manage specialist equipment, coordinate materials, support radiation protection activities, and make sure everything — from monitors to samples — is exactly where it should be, when it should be there.
☢️ What You’ll Be Doing (And Why It Matters)
You’ll be the operational backbone supporting Radiation Protection Advisers, supervisors and clients working with controlled radioactive materials.
Day to day, you’ll:
• Manage stock of calibrated radiation monitors and ensure they’re always in working order
• Coordinate calibration schedules and equipment readiness
• Support laboratory teams in an RPS capacity
• Handle receipt and dispatch of NORM samples to designated labs
• Maintain PPE/RPE stocks and radiation-related consumables
• Assist with radioactive waste disposal routes for clients
• Carry out occasional process and compliance audits
• Deliver equipment and materials to client sites
• Support operations onshore.
In short: you keep the infrastructure behind safe radiation work running smoothly.
You’ll Probably Thrive Here If…
• You like structure, organisation and clear processes
• You notice when something’s out of place (and fix it)
• You’re calm under deadlines and good at solving practical problems
• You communicate clearly and professionally with clients and colleagues
• You take pride in doing things properly, not just quickly
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone dependable, capable and detail-driven:
Essential
• 5+ years’ experience as a storeperson or materials coordinator
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Office tools
• Ability to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines
• Full UK manual driving licence
• Professional, reliable and safety-focused mindset
Desirable (Training Available)
• Knowledge of UK import/export customs processes
• Dangerous Goods certification (road/sea)
• Offshore medical and BOSIET certification
What You’ll Get in Return (Because Good Work Deserves Good Support)
We look after our people so they can focus on doing their job properly, so alongside a welcoming, professional environment and a role that genuinely matters, you’ll also benefit from:
* Techscheme – vouchers towards commuting or home tech
* Healthcare Cash Plan – help with everyday healthcare costs
* Reward platform including wellbeing support, cycle-to-work scheme, and discounts at 800+ retailers
* Enhanced family leave – because life happens

Why This Role Is Different
Because here, operational roles aren’t background support — they’re mission-critical.
Because safety isn’t a slogan — it’s a system you’ll help run.
And because the best technical teams rely on people who make complex logistics look effortless.
If you want a role where organisation, responsibility and precision genuinely matter, we’d love to hear from you
