Reading, United Kingdom AWE Full time
What if you could work with remarkable people on extraordinary things? What if the end result was something a little bit special? What if your role was mission critical?

For nearly 70 years, AWE has been at the forefront of nuclear weapons research and development. We have a critical mission: to provide the warheads for the UK s ultimate deterrent - Trident. We also use our unique skills to provide wider UK government with counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction solutions.

It takes a special sort of person to work at AWE. What if that person was you?

AWE currently have excellent opportunities for Radiation Protection Advisers (RPA) and Trainee Radiation Protection Advisers (Health Physicists) to join our Materials and Analytical Science group, bringing their experience to AWE and to successfully play a key role delivering for our customers.

The Radiation Protection and Dosimetry Group are part of the Engineering and Science Resource function at AWE. We are responsible for providing legal and technical advice to a range of internal and external customers regarding health and safety in relation to working with radioactive materials and other sources of ionising radiation.

Salary: (dependant on experience)

Trainee RPA (Health Physicist): £34,000 +

RPA2000 Accredited Radiation Protection Adviser: £43,000 +

Location : Reading (Potential for some Hybrid working)

Contract : Full time or part time

Closing Date : 6th June 2024

  • Time to recharge your batteries with 270 hours of annual leave (plus every other Friday off work)

No other organisation in the UK provides radiation protection advice across the same range of applications and customers. Our advice covers everything from nuclear manufacturing facilities to forensic laboratories, new build facilities to advice on decommissioning old ones and providing advice on working with some of the most powerful X-ray generating machines in the world to working on national security operations. Each present their own unique set of challenges meaning that every day is different.

We are looking to recruit a Radiation Protection Adviser or a future Radiation Protection Adviser to join our team. Successful candidates will hold a current RPA 2000 certificate or have operational experience of providing clear and proportionate radiation protection advice to their customers. The ability to then communicate this advice through a variety of media is essential.

It would be advantageous for the candidate to have degree in a science, technology or engineering discipline or experience of working in areas such as health physics, dosimetry, environment, radioactive waste management, health and safety (ESH) or other associated fields.

A career in radiation protection is an excellent choice for someone who wishes to continue to use their practical and theoretical scientific and technical knowledge and skills in a multi-disciplinary environment. The role will also provide development opportunities to become a chartered member of the Society of Radiation Protection. The role will involve both office-based and practical elements which provide opportunities to get out and see some of our unique facilities and processes that we undertake.

All candidates must be willing and able to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role.

There is also the opportunity to join our on-call capability supporting our customer with emergency response advice which comes with an additional incentive.

Please note that you must be a British Citizen to apply for a role with us.

Our ambition is to create workplaces where we recognise and celebrate differences, encourage diverse contributions and our employees feel able to be themselves at work. We strive to create a genuine culture of openness and inclusion and encourage diverse applicants. Any inclusion information you provide us will be used to encourage and support you through the application process and will be held only for this purpose in accordance with GDPR.
