Description
As the UK's independent nuclear regulator, the Office for Nuclear Regulation's mission is vital to the nation's safety and security. We protect society by securing safe operations at nuclear facilities across our nation.
This is an exciting role critical to the decarbonisation of the UK's economy; our national defence; and the decommissioning of our nuclear legacy. A career with ONR will provide you with opportunity to lead and shape our society's future use of nuclear technology.
As an inspector your job will be varied, and you are likely to undertake a range of roles across the sector; from regulating the construction of new nuclear build to the decommissioning of legacy facilities. Some inspectors concentrate on undertaking planned and reactive inspections on site, while others will assess safety submissions or manage discrete intervention projects. Additionally, there may be opportunities to conduct investigations, manage research projects, and mentor and develop the next generation of inspectors.
As a supply chain inspector, you will be concerned with the duty holder's supply chain management arrangements which ensure the delivery of nuclear plant, equipment, and services 'right first time.' This includes considering if safety is adequately considered when developing supply chain strategies and policies. A fundamental element of the arrangements is the duty holder's procurement processes ensuring that appropriate levels of oversight and assurance are applied by the duty holder and all organisations within its supply chain, associated with the provision of nuclear plant, equipment, and services.
