The role also provides the potential to support other Risktec sectors such as oil and gas, clean energy, transport, defence, and conventional power in the future.

To be successful in this role, you will need:
A proven track record in maintaining engineering systems, commissioning new plant and/or delivering nuclear safety cases.
A drive to ensure successful delivery and continuous client satisfaction by delivering pragmatic and proportionate solutions.
