What you’ll be doing…

You will be responsible for leading and delivering nuclear safety case justifications for emergent transverse issues and design changes at the HPC site.

• Being a Technical Authority Lead at HPC means possessing strong communication and presentation skills, enabling you to effectively engage with a variety of stakeholders across the wider business. You’ll demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning and development.
• You’ll thrive in high-profile, dynamic, and time-critical projects, with a keen ability to identify and resolve key issues while maintaining a strong technical stance in challenging environments. You’ll have the capability to understand a broad range of technical analyses, lead pragmatic solutions, challenge existing strategies, and translate technical knowledge into clear, concise, and coherent information.
• We’re looking for someone with working knowledge and experience in leading and managing nuclear safety case development, ideally with familiarity with the HPC Safety Case and UK EPR Design. Practitioner knowledge of ALARP principles and their application is also beneficial.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you!
