About the Opportunity

We are the Design and Engineering partner for Sellafield under the Programme and Project Partners (PPP). This is a 20-year arrangement to deliver ~£7bn of major projects. We are looking to recruit high value expertise from across regulated and comparable sectors to work in a collaborative environment. PPP is delivering major projects, site wide improvements and provision of supporting services.

Being part of the PPP Team offers a unique opportunity to drive change and innovation in engineering, safety and delivery solutions in one of the most complex industrial sites in the UK if not the world. We are looking for people who are passionate about developing themselves and in meeting new challenges.

The Sludge Handling and Export Plant (SH&EP) will treat sludge, originating from one of the highest hazard facilities at Sellafield, into a form suitable for long-term storage and disposal. SH&EP is currently in the early stages of project development.

The project involves both ‘wet process’ and mechanical handling/movement systems. The facility design needs to achieve high plant availability, so the application of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles is key. Challenges associated with the facility location drive the requirement for modularised build techniques and Modern Methods of Construction. As a new facility, sustainability features highly within the design considerations.

We are currently looking for a Safety Case Assessor to join the team in Birchwood, Warrington to support the development and delivery of the nuclear safety case for the project.

Key Responsibilities include:

* Supporting the development and delivery of the SWMRF nuclear safety case and associated documentation on behalf of our clients

* Applying the principles of nuclear safety to the preparation and production of the safety case

* Assisting the establishment of the scope and strategy for the production of the nuclear safety case

* Assisting the planning and coordination of the preparation of nuclear safety case

* Engaging with relevant stakeholders.

Qualifications/ Experience:

* A sound technical or engineering background with a suitable scientific or engineering degree or demonstrable industrial experience.

* Experience of working in a safety and safety case environment within either the nuclear industry, or a similar highly regulated industry such as petrochemical or rail.

* Previous experience of material transfer or storage Safety Cases is a benefit.

* Knowledge and experience of the application of some of the following techniques would also be beneficial: Hazard Identification, Fault Schedule development, Safety Functional Requirements (SFR) derivation, Probabilistic Safety Analysis.

* Ability to collect and understand learning from experience (LFE)

* Demonstrable ability to write clearly and present complex arguments in a well-structured manner, suitable for a varied audience.

* Demonstrable communication skills with clients both internally and externally
