Job description

Role – Lead / Senior Technical Author

Location – Hinton House, Birchwood

Arrangement – Permanent

Travel – 3 days in the office, 2 days remotely

NUVIA UK's Technical Services & Consulting department is fast growing with hybrid opportunities available up and down the country. We're striving to create a multidisciplinary team to offer our clients the best range of talent.

BPSS clearance will be required at basic level. Prior clearance will not be transferable.

The Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (MSSS) is the most hazardous building on the Sellafield site, so the work of removing the waste and putting it into modern, safe containment packages is our top priority.

MSSS was built more than 50 years ago for the underwater storage of Magnox fuel cladding (or swarf) that was removed from used nuclear fuel rods so that fuel could be reprocessed.

The Lead / Senior technical Author should be chartered in their chosen discipline. Experience in the Nuclear industry or preferably with Sellafield MSSS and Silos would be beneficial.

Role:

• Support to the Technical team responsible for managing the leak within MSSS Original Building
• Lead packages of work. Expect the candidate to work autonomously with limited support and direction (once up to speed).
• Candidate will perform work themselves. There is potential for support to be provided ad-hoc but no additional resources can be made available to support full time.

The role is expected to cover:

• Scoping and specification of technical work
• Leadership of specific work packages (could be internally or externally delivered)
• NFR / report production and presentation
• Checking and review of other team member’s work
• Planning of future scope (e.g. transition from technical to design / projects)
• Regulatory engagement on allocated work packages

Experience (minimum 4 of the points below):

• Technical Assessment and Review
• Study Delivery
• Strategy Development
• Technology Development / R&D
• Plant Trials
• Early design delivery (Study and Concept phases)
• Project or Programme Management
