You will understand the many inputs into our operations documents and ensure that our procedures comply with requirements coming from the safety case, Technical Specifications, Design Changes, Human Factors, nuclear site licence conditions and end user feedback.

You will build relationships with different stakeholders to work through technical queries and analyse the impact of Design Changes on our operations documents. You will author, review and update various procedures – these could relate to Normal Operations, Fault Operations, Severe Accident operations or Technical Specifications depending on your skills and experience.
