At RPS, our Human Factors business is going from strength to strength, and we are now looking to expand the team again and appoint an experienced Human Factors Consultant to join our Risk team.

As a Human Factors Consultant at RPS you will deliver results on multiple Human Factors projects with a variety of clients, whilst developing strong, long-lasting partnerships.

We’re RPS, our projects are all around you. We define, design and manage projects that create shared value to a complex, urbanising and resource-scarce world. Our people are our success. We need people who share our passion on solving the problems that matter. And where you’ll be supported every step of the way. Here is where you come to build a career.

RPS, A Tetra Tech company:

About the team:

The Human Factors team forms part of our major accident hazard safety business, working predominantly in the nuclear sector. We successfully provide Human Factors design and safety case support to ensure that the role of the operator is fully considered and potential for human error minimised.

We have led the Human Factors support to several high-profile nuclear projects, including a major new build to process and repackage fuel within gloveboxes, and provided Human Factors assessments for decommissioning sites and operational facilities. We also have recently developed safety critical task analysis guidance and undertaken Human Factors assessments for control of major accident hazards (COMAH) sites. We are keen to make the most of opportunities to collaborate with our colleagues in the Health, Safety and Risk team and increase our Human Factors work in sectors outside of our nuclear clients, such as chemical/pharmaceutical, defence, oil & gas, aviation, rail and maritime clients.

Typical projects involve providing tailored Human Factors solutions on the design and operation of a range of topics, such as: control rooms, interface and equipment, layout and workspace, environment, alarm, competency management and procedures. We work remotely, in our RPS offices, at client offices and through site visits, providing an engaging and varied work experience.

Our team’s strategy is to work closely together on projects, as we recognise the benefit of collaborating and sharing insight on technical challenges to provide the best HF solutions for our clients. We also encourage personal development, valuing learning from one another’s experiences and perspectives.

Your Role:

You will be responsible for supporting the design and case/safety report assessments, undertaking tasks such as:

  1. Operational claim identification and substantiation
  2. HF project integration management
  3. HF support on safety assessment
  4. Application of HF methods
  5. Resolution of operational issues
  6. Derivation and management of requirements
  7. HF verification and validation
  8. Application of a modern standard HF techniques and relevant good practice

Your Skills and Experience:

  1. Extensive experience of delivering Human Factors support to nuclear or other high hazard projects
  2. A degree level qualification in related subject, (e.g. Human Factors/ergonomics, psychology, industrial design)
  3. Working towards chartership with The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors
  4. Excellent technical report writing skills
  5. Understanding and application of UK regulations and standards
  6. Knowledge of regulatory regimes
  7. Willing to travel to/and work on clients’ sites

Permanent UK residency:

Eligible to obtain security clearance

What we offer you:

Here you’ll find true support and encouragement. We’re an accredited training provider – from entry level to master’s degree level professional qualifications in leadership & management and executive coaching & mentoring, we support learning and development for everyone.

A personal development plan and a transparent career pathway puts you in the driving seat of your career and you’ll be supported as far as you want to go.
