Nuclear Restoration Services
Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). NRS is responsible for decommissioning first generation nuclear power stations Berkeley, Bradwell, Chapelcross, Dungeness A, Hinkley Point A, Hunterston A, Oldbury, Sizewell A, Trawsfynydd and Wylfa, and research sites Harwell and Winfrith. NRS is also responsible for electricity generation at hydroelectric plant Maentwrog. As a division of NRS, NRS Dounreay is responsible for the clean-up and demolition of the former centre of fast reactor research and development.
NRS is an exciting place to be, and this role is the perfect opportunity for you to be part of our challenging mission - to safely and successfully manage the UK's civil nuclear legacy on behalf of the nation. To deliver our commitment, we need people like you who want to perform at an industry leading standard and be part of a team that continues to develop, innovate and even exceed our greatest achievements.

About the role
Hear from the Hiring Manager
"Do you want to be part of history in helping to decommission the first nuclear site of its kind in the UK? Utilising state-of-the art robotics equipment? Then come and join us, at our South West site here in beautiful Dorset.
The Winfrith site was part of the UK programme to develop future options for nuclear power. It housed numerous successful projects and provided low carbon electricity for the UK as well as providing technical demonstration and valuable R&D. NRS is now returning the site back to its original heathland condition, so this project is both technically challenging as well as delivering great environmental benefits.
We are at the forefront in using robotics technology and applying it to the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear reactors - develop your skills and experience in this ground-breaking field of engineering.
Come and be part of the challenge and help us safely and successfully deliver this exciting project - working with likeminded engineers, being part of this creative and innovative team."
Key Deliverables:
The purpose of this role is to provide professional engineering support, with some CAD capability, to reactor and site decommissioning projects at Winfrith.

Understanding and working knowledge of relevant Company and/or national engineering standards; technical, health, safety and environmental legislation; Nuclear Site Licence conditions, and quality management (Desirable).
People management experience and knowledge of contract management (Desirable).
Additional Information
Please be aware this role holder requires security clearance, or the ability to obtain said clearance.
There is a requirement to live within a commutable distance to the sites where the role is based. For central/multi-site roles, we have various hubs across the UK and can be flexible with base location.
