The Environmental Science team, are looking for an Environmental Scientist (or similar) to join them to provide technical support to this growing area.

You will have the right to work in the UK and be able to achieve SC level security clearance (this includes but is not limited to identity, employment, financial and criminal record checks plus 5 years worth of UK residency).
Not only will you receive the opportunity to work on challenging and exciting projects, but youll continually learn from skilled and knowledgeable industry experts who are leaders in their field.

In addition, there will be the opportunity to work on internally funded R&D projects, author journal publications and contribute towards knowledge exchange activities within the wider nuclear industry.
The role is both desk and site-based and it is anticipated that, while the primary focus will be in the environmental safety assessment area, there will be opportunity to support work and research activities in other areas covered by the team, for example waste and site characterisation, decontamination, remediation, waste treatment and new-build reactor design.
