The Opportunity

 
Sizewell C (SZC) has a number of opportunities for skilled Safety Case practitioners in the Safety Case Branch of our Design Authority (DA).  We are currently producing the SZC Pre-Construction Safety Report (PCSR) which support the release of the First Nuclear Safety Concrete milestone in the construction sequence.  

At this time, SZC DA require a lead verifier for the PCSR who will ensure the safety report as a whole is fully verified, drawing on the knowledge of multiple verifiers appointed to review sections/sub-sections.  This individual will be a skilled safety case practitioner who has already worked in UK safety cases and has experience of meeting the expectations of our regulator, ONR.    

Are you a proactive self-starter with a questioning attitude? Are you known for your eye for detail? Are you someone who takes personal ownership and accountability for the work you do? Are you are looking for a career which is rewarding, at a pivotal stage of a new build project and where you can really make a difference?

Be a part of one of the world largest and most exciting projects, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. When completed, SZC will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes over 60 years, which along with renewables, will drive Britain towards achieving Net Zero by 2050.

The Role

 
The Design Authority (DA), as part of the licensee organisation, is responsible for developing the nuclear safety case and maintaining its integrity throughout the full lifecycle of the nuclear power plant.

You will have opportunities to gain experience and work in a variety of different aspects of the safety case from developing the main Safety Report through to managing the resolution and closing out EPR GDA (Generic Design Assessment) Assessment for the SZC project. In your role you will be supported by and need to engage with a variety of disciplines within the wider organisation (Nuclear Analysis, Engineering, Construction, Commissioning and Operations), while also working with OEM designers/suppliers and internal/external regulators. 

 The Skills 

 
Key attributes you should be able to demonstrate: 

• A motivated, self-starting, dynamic individual who is able to work with multiple disciplines and organisational levels to drive the development and maintenance of the safety case; 
• Someone who is able to understand the bigger picture, have the ability distil a range of source data and analysis to define, scope and strategically plan the delivery of the safety case; 
• The ability to understand a broad range of technical analysis, identify and lead pragmatic solutions as well as challenge current strategies and integrate technical knowledge into clear, concise and coherent information; 
• Someone who thrives in working in high profile, dynamic, time critical projects with the ability to identify and focus on resolving key issues and able to hold a technical position in a challenging environment; 
• Someone with excellent organisation skills, who can work autonomously and works well in teams.
