Senior Health and Safety Advisor Remote
Job description
Contract Term: Until 31/03/2024 (high likelihood of extension)
Contracting Authority: NWS
Location: UK Wide (Occasional travel to Whitehaven)
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is a non-departmental public body created through the Energy Act 2004.
We have 5 offices across the UK, in Cumbria, Dounreay, Harwell, Warrington and London. We have 17 sites including the first fleet of nuclear power stations, research centers, fuel-related facilities, and Sellafield, which has the largest radioactive inventory and the most complex facilities to decommission.
We are sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and supported by Dounreay, Magnox, Nuclear Waste Services, Nuclear Transport Solutions and Sellafield. The Scottish government also has a governance role, working closely with BEIS to ensure its expectations are met.
Our role is strategic: we establish the overall approach, allocate budgets, set targets and monitor progress.
We do not have a hands-on role in cleaning up our facilities. Instead, we deliver our mission through others, primarily 12 businesses.
Illustrate the progression of developments from inception to completion, with a focus on the front-end aspect, excluding the actual execution. Subsequently, hand it over to another individual for finalization.
We are responsible for:
- decommissioning and cleaning up these nuclear facilities ensuring that all waste products, both radioactive and non-radioactive, are safely managed.
- implementing policy on the long-term management of nuclear waste.
- developing UK-wide strategy and plans for nuclear Low-Level Waste (LLW).
- scrutinising the decommissioning plans of EDF Energy, who own the operating fleet of Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor (AGR) nuclear power stations.
As a Senior Health & Safety Advisor your main responsibilities would be:
- To create new and updated policies, processes, and procedures to be used through NWS.
- To manage the implementation and adherence to the new policies and procedures.
- To create and maintain reporting capabilities to demonstrate the new policy’s effectiveness.
You’ll have relevant experience in:
- Nuclear related systems, processes, procedures, and standards.
- Creating documents to a high grammatical standard.
- A range of assurance related approaches and methodologies.
- A process development software.
- ISO45001 Lead Author/ Auditor.
You’ll have the following qualifications and skills:
- NEBOSH
- Communicating to a wide range of stakeholders.
