At the Environment Agency, we are responsible for regulating the disposal of radioactive waste across the nuclear industry in England. Whether it be an operational power station, or a new build project, our regulators work with nuclear operators to ensure the highest levels of environmental protection are achieved. As a Lead Nuclear Regulator, you’ll be at the forefront of this work. The role’s not just about waste. As a regulator, you’ll be expected to understand the businesses and technology you regulate, how they operate and the impact they could have on people and the environment.
We are looking for someone with experience of the nuclear industry and the determination and enthusiasm to drive environmental improvements. Site operators aren’t the only people you’ll deal with. At the Environment Agency, we are committed to the people and places we serve. Interaction with members of the public is an essential part of the role. You’ll also need to be willing to play your part in responding to incidents both within the nuclear field and across other functions of our organisation.
You’ll need a sound understanding of relevant legislation that you’ll regulate against and an appreciation of the challenges the industry faces.
