Responsibilities

  • The Sellafield site has the most diverse range of nuclear facilities in the world. Our Safety programme is split into two areas. The generation of Safety Case reports and studies so we can be assured our operations can run safe, and frontline Radiological Protection & Safety colleagues who enforce the safety standards that keep our people and community safe.
  • Safety Case professionals work on projects and facilities site-wide and through the full lifecycle from design, through operations, to decommissioning and demolition.

All roles require you to operate as part of a multi-disciplined team, solving problems within a challenging context.

They’re the frontline when it comes to safety, carrying out technical assessments, investigations, undertaking assurance activities and developing standards to attending stakeholder meetings and advising on safety aspects of specific projects. As a graduate in the Safety profession, you will be involved with the Central Safety Support teams and the frontline Safety Delivery teams, aligned to plant areas, developing towards a fully competent advisor.
  • Our Safety graduates don’t only go on to achieve chartership with their chosen degree discipline, many also go on to become chartered safety professionals too. If you’re looking personal growth, professional development and purposeful work, safety is the scheme for you.
