Location is flexible – West Cumbria, Warrington or Oxfordshire.

Hybrid working is available with 40% of time in an NDA office.


The opportunity and your impact:

The UK’s nuclear energy programme, dating from the post war years, has left a mixed legacy to the country: numerous prototype reactors, fuel manufacturing plants, research centres, reprocessing plants and 11 nuclear power stations. This has resulted in one of the world’s most complex environmental decommissioning challenges. Many ‘never done before’ projects are underway, which require substantial levels of Research & Development (R&D) and innovative approaches. For NDA, it is important that we can establish our Technical Baseline from which we can demonstrate impact and improvements. Technical assurance of that baseline and the technologies within it is about providing confidence to stakeholders that the technical solutions selected across the NDA group for development and implementation will achieve their objectives for beneficial change. This role will focus on assurance of the NDA group’s R&D at a portfolio level. It will enable NDA to make better technical decisions regarding the size, shape and future direction of both the NDA’s R&D portfolio as well as the larger NDA group’s R&D portfolio in order to deliver the NDA mission safer, faster, cheaper and with less environmental impact.


What you’ll do:

  • Analysis and reporting of NDA group’s R&D portfolio using the Technical Baseline and underpinning R&D (TBuRD) and Implemented Innovation submissions and development of the associated processes.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for technical baseline matters within the NDA, facilitating communication between NDA, NDA group and external partners.
  • Enable delivery of key products that communicate to stakeholders our Technical Baseline and associated R&D requirements (e.g. NDA Technical Baseline Report, NDA Areas of Research Interest).Identify areas of good practice in the management of R&D through engagement with NDA group (e.g. Technical Management Reviews) and external organisations (e.g. Strategic Technology and Innovation Management Consortium).Grow a community of practice for R&D reporting to ensure good practice deployed and continuous improvement implemented (e.g. TBuRD Working Group).
  • Identify areas for further technical assurance using knowledge of NDA Technical Baseline.
  • Deliver NDA technical assurance reviews, providing leadership, expertise and recommendations.
  • Grow individual learning and knowledge with respect to R&D management and share across the NDA group.


Skills, knowledge & experience:

Essential:

  • Ability to live the NDA values of respect, openness, collaboration, performance and creativity.
  • Educated to graduate level in a STEM subject (or equivalent) or suitable equivalent experience.
  • Knowledge of the development and implementation of complex R&D projects (desirably in a regulated environment).
  • Ability to identify priorities and manage own workload.
  • Skills to extract relevant information from R&D portfolio data in order to generate clear recommendations to improve mission delivery.
  • Effective communication skills to relay complex technical information in an accessible and engaging way to a broad range of stakeholders.
  • Strong stakeholder relationship skills – with the ability to build relationships with internal and external stakeholders and work collaboratively.
  • Ability to persuade others to implement new approaches.


Desirable:

  • Hold chartered status in an appropriate professional body.
  • Knowledge of the UK civil nuclear sector.


We value the unique differences that each of our colleagues bring to work every day and are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels respected, included and able to perform at their best. At NDA, we are committed to creating a workplace that is diverse and inclusive. We value the diversity of our people and actively seek to have a workforce that represents the rich diversity of the communities we support. Currently, we are underrepresented in some areas, and would particularly welcome applicants from Women, Black, Asian and Ethnic Minorities, LGBTQ+ and candidates who have a disability.


NDA is a member of the disability confident scheme, when requested we will make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process, and we guarantee to interview all candidates who have a disability who meet all of the essential criteria for the vacancy. In cases where we have a high volume of candidates who have a disability who meet all of the essential criteria, we will interview the best candidates from within that group.


We are happy to discuss flexible working. We will also make workplace adjustments for disabled employees if these are needed to help them perform at their best in the role, and we are happy to discuss this once a job offer has been made.
