Job Description

Band 3 Nuclear Safety Inspector - Control and Instrumentation

The Opportunity

As the UK’s independent nuclear regulator, our mission is vital to the nation’s safety and security. We protect society by securing safe operations at nuclear facilities across our nation.

This role is crucial for the decarbonisation of the UK’s economy, national defence, and nuclear legacy decommissioning. A career with ONR offers opportunities to influence the future use of nuclear technology.

The Role

Inspectors undertake diverse roles, including regulating new nuclear construction, decommissioning legacy facilities, conducting inspections, assessing safety submissions, managing projects, investigations, research, and mentorship.

As a Control and Instrumentation (C&I) inspector, you will assess the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and operation of C&I systems to ensure risk control. You will work within a team of C&I experts, sharing knowledge and expertise to enhance regulatory effectiveness.

The C&I culture values challenge, open-mindedness, and collaboration, engaging with stakeholders like licensees, professional bodies, and international standards organizations to develop standards and guidance.

Line Management Responsibilities

• None currently, but future management of staff may be expected.

Work with Us

We value diversity and inclusion, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds. Our values are supportive, open-minded, fair, and accountable. We invest in our people’s development, resilience, and wellbeing.
