5 months ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom EDF Limited Full time

Are you a results oriented individual keen to deliver our strategic objectives for decommissioning? Do you enjoy working in a collaborative stakeholder environment and building and motivating a high performing team? Do you have a strong commercial focus and adapt to change by problem solving and bringing new innovative solutions to the table? If so, we are looking for you to join us

**The Opportunity**

Nuclear Decommissioning is responsible for the discharge of EDF Nuclear Operation’s decommissioning liabilities as set out in the Nuclear Liabilities Funding Agreement (NLFA) with UK Government. This is a highly complex set of contractual agreements and requires the decommissioning programme to be delivered in compliance with the NLFA while ensuring value for the taxpayer.

The Head of Commercial Oversight is a critical role in driving the success and viability of EDF Nuclear Operations business and key stakeholder management / building relationships is key to the success of this role.

The Head of Commercial Oversight will be responsible for our contract compliance, recovery of qualifying costs and change control for the decommissioning programme. The person will provide independent oversight and governance of our contractual agreements and day-to-day management of our Government stakeholder relationships.

Another important part of the role is ensuring we are compliant with our contractual obligations, the decommissioning programme is delivered, and our commercial risks are appropriately managed and mitigated.

**Pay, benefits and culture**

We can offer a competitive salary and you’ll be appointed based on the parameters outlined in the Nuclear Generation Personal Contract as well as your existing salary, competence, experience and qualifications.

We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.

**What you’ll be doing**

As part of your role, your main responsibilities will be:

- Day-to-day relationship management of our Government stakeholders and internal technical, programme management, contractual, financial and legal interfaces to ensure delivery of the requirements specified in the decommissioning contracts
- Oversight of commercial adherence of the NLFA suite of contracts - including Option Agreement, Contribution Agreement, Co-operation Agreement and the Historic Liabilities Funding Agreement
- Pro-active management of ad-hoc matters and contractual challenges, issues, resolutions, escalations and interventions as required with our Government stakeholders
- Define and manage governance, risk and decision-making processes and Key Performance Indicators for the monitoring of contractual aspects of the decommissioning programmes
- Oversee our externally facing Assurance framework, building Government’s trust in EDF’s contractual submissions and supporting processes, and while ensuring mínimal challenges and interrogations
- Independent surveillance and review of EDF processes, governance, cost recovery/ control, risk management and performance delivery associated with the NLFA suite of contracts
- Management and submission of all cost submissions required under the NLFA, while engaging with Government stakeholders and ensuring contractual submission approval
- Recovery of all qualifying funding via approved plans and budgets, and alignment with Nuclear Operations medium term business plan
- Oversee effective cost budgeting/ forecasting, change control and associated financial risk management of government funding, working closely with finance and programme delivery teams

**Who you are**

We are looking for someone with excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to communicate and convey complex information simply at all levels.

You’ll be a strategic thinker with a focus on value and risk - and you’ll hold a degree or equivalent in a business, finance, law, political science or related discipline. A relevant postgraduate qualification or MBA is desirable. It would also be advantageous if you are professionally licensed or chartered with an appropriate institution.

You will ideally have knowledge of the nuclear operating and decommissioning business especially commercial drivers, business opportunities and risks.
- Proven senior leadership experience in managing teams and complex and contentious business and/or programme contractual arrangements for a commercial organisation
- Demonstrable high level commercial acumen with ability to lead, communicate, influence and negotiate complex issues at all levels
- Strong track record in building personal trust and operating with integrity and credibility amongst a diverse stakeholder environment (e.g. political, commercial, community, technical).
