The Opportunity…

We have a unique opportunity for a Security Policy Officer to support our Nuclear Security function in maintaining robust and compliant security policies, as part of our Nuclear Services business. Nuclear Services is our technical centre of excellence, supporting our existing fleet of nuclear power stations and our nuclear new build projects.

In your role, you’ll play a key role in ensuring security procedures remain clear, effective, and aligned with relevant civil nuclear security standards and business requirements.

You will provide security policy advice, oversee quality-related review activities, and contribute to business continuity planning.

Pay, benefits and culture…

We can offer a competitive salary from £40,000 - £45,000 (negotiable dependent on experience).

Alongside your salary and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you’ll be doing…

1. Security Policy Development: Ensure security procedures are clear, up to date, and aligned with evolving CNSS requirements and operational needs.
2. Quality and Compliance: Lead quality-related review activities for the function, ensuring security documentation aligns with Nuclear Operations and broader company policies.
3. Business Continuity Planning: Provide functional leadership for the Security Business Continuity Plan and ensure its effective implementation.
4. Security Culture Improvements: Drive communication and initiatives that strengthen security awareness across the business.
5. Documentation Management: Maintain and update the security intranet, ensuring all security-related information remains accurate and accessible.
6. Corrective Action Programme (CAP): Support the function’s CAP by assisting in the identification and resolution of security-related issues.

Who you are…

1. Educated to degree level or possessing equivalent professional experience in a relevant field.
2. Experienced in writing, reviewing, and amending complex documentation, ensuring clarity and compliance.
3. Highly proficient in MS Office, particularly Word, with strong computer literacy.
4. Able to analyse information quickly from multiple sources and provide clear, well-reasoned recommendations.
5. A strong communicator, capable of engaging effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
6. Previous experience in the civil nuclear industry or a corporate quality environment is desirable but not essential.
