An opportunity to build on your existing nuclear safety case experience in nuclear engineering, risk management and emergency preparedness.

Outside of that specific workstream, within CRA you will be supporting and helping to develop the capability of our team providing consultancy services spanning Safety Case, emergency preparedness and Security & Resilience. This provides a stimulating mix of consultancy, engineering and analysis, along with the delivery of challenging and sometimes unique projects to clients in the nuclear and high hazard sectors in the UK and beyond.

We are keen to speak to applicants with the following attributes:

• Good analytical thinking skills and an ability to quickly grasp complex issues, applying knowledge and experience to deliver pragmatic, prioritised, and proportionate solutions.
