Internal Hazards Nuclear Safety Inspector

3 months ago


Bootle, Sefton, United Kingdom Office for Nuclear Regulation Full time

Position Overview

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) operates as an independent entity, closely associated with the Department of Work and Pensions.

About the Role

Aligned with our strategic vision for 2025, ONR is dedicated to evolving into a modern and transparent regulatory body, committed to delivering reliable outcomes and value. We are investing significantly in advanced digital technologies and skill development to refine our regulatory practices and information management.

As the UK's autonomous nuclear regulator, our mission is crucial for national safety and security. We safeguard society by ensuring safe operations at nuclear facilities throughout the country.

This role is pivotal in supporting the UK's decarbonisation efforts, national defense, and the decommissioning of our nuclear heritage. A career with ONR offers the chance to influence and shape the future application of nuclear technology in our society.

Your Responsibilities

As an inspector, your duties will be diverse, involving various roles across the nuclear sector. You may oversee the regulation of new nuclear constructions or the decommissioning of outdated facilities. Some inspectors focus on conducting planned and reactive site inspections, while others evaluate safety submissions or manage specific intervention projects. Opportunities may also arise for conducting investigations, overseeing research initiatives, and mentoring the next generation of inspectors.

In your capacity as an internal hazards specialist inspector, you will assess hazards originating within the site boundary that are influenced by events under the operator's control. Internal hazards encompass risks such as fire, flooding, explosions, dropped loads, and internal missiles, among others. A primary concern for all nuclear sites is fire safety. Evaluating how fires could jeopardize nuclear plants and safety equipment, along with the effectiveness of measures to prevent fire spread and mitigate consequences, is essential. Your expertise will ensure that safety cases comprehensively address the spectrum of potential internal hazards, and that duty holders implement appropriate measures to prevent and mitigate these risks.

Line Management Responsibilities

Currently, there are no direct line management responsibilities; however, future expectations may include managing staff.

Working Environment

Our team comprises individuals from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique experiences and career paths to ONR. We prioritize attracting the best talent for our roles. As an inclusive employer, we value diversity in age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, social background, religion, or belief. Our principles of being supportive, open-minded, fair, and accountable are central to our operations. We strive to enhance capability, resilience, and well-being within our teams, grounded in our commitment to inclusion and excellence.

Candidate Profile / Requirements

Qualifications

All Nuclear Safety Inspectors are expected to possess:

  • A degree-level qualification or equivalent in engineering, physical sciences, mathematics, or a related field, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent professional experience.
  • Chartered membership of a relevant professional institution, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent professional performance and/or experience.

Essential Skills / Experience

  • Prior experience in internal hazards within the nuclear sector or a comparable field, including safety case development, assessment, and physical inspections.
  • A solid background in evaluating complex safety systems designed with multiple protective measures against internal hazards.
  • Experience in implementing safety solutions in hazardous industries, along with extensive knowledge of relevant safety standards and engineering principles.
  • Familiarity with one or more nuclear or high-hazard facilities, such as pressurized water reactors or advanced gas-cooled reactors.
  • The ability to analyze and provide clear judgments on new and complex technical issues.
  • Strong communication, decision-making, and influencing skills, with a capacity to prioritize work based on risk assessment.

While experience in the nuclear sector or high-hazard industries is preferred, we are open to considering candidates from other backgrounds who are willing to undergo a structured nuclear training program to achieve Nuclear Safety Inspector status.

Commitment to Inclusion

ONR is dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace and encourages applications from all individuals. We will make reasonable adjustments to ensure an inclusive and barrier-free recruitment process. For instance, we can provide job descriptions in alternative formats and offer communication support. We guarantee interviews for disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria for the role. Additionally, applicants can opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme for disabled individuals during the application process.

ONR recognizes its responsibility to assist veterans transitioning from the Armed Forces and has implemented a Guaranteed Interview Scheme for veterans. This initiative is part of a broader Government effort to create a supportive work environment for veterans. Veterans who meet the minimum criteria for a role will be invited for an interview and can choose to participate in this scheme during their application.

Security Clearance

The successful candidate must obtain and maintain National Security Vetting clearance at SC level.

Location / Travel Requirements

This position can be based at any ONR office location. The role involves some travel, including overnight stays predominantly within the UK and occasionally abroad.

A full driving license valid in the UK is required unless reasonable adjustments can be made under the Equality Act 2010.

ONR supports hybrid working arrangements, allowing for a combination of office and remote work. There is an expectation for regular office attendance, recognizing the benefits of face-to-face collaboration. Managers will work with their teams to determine the best approach to meet individual, team, and organizational needs while balancing personal preferences and well-being.

Benefits

We offer an annual leave allowance of 25 days plus 8 public holidays, with an additional privilege day. Your annual leave entitlement increases by one day each year, up to a maximum of 30 days.

  • Tailored learning and development opportunities.
  • Flexible working environment.
  • A culture that promotes inclusion and diversity.
  • A civil service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%.
