About the programme:

At Rosyth Royal Dockyard we are leading the world in the dismantling of nuclear submarines.

Our staged approach to dismantling begins with the disposal of low-level radioactive waste before removing the nuclear reactor and finally recycling the remaining vessel.

Nobody has done this before, so you will be a true pioneer working in a ground-breaking team.


What you'll be doing:

Working with experienced Radiation Protection and Radioactive Waste professionals, you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working on a unique project.

On this programme you'll be involved in:

• demonstrating compliance with relevant radiation safety and radioactive waste regulations

- drafting and implementing radiation protection/radioactive waste policies and procedures
- developing and reviewing radiation protection systems and radioactive waste arrangements
- liaising with management and the workforce (including plant managers, designers and engineers) on matters of radiation safety and radioactive waste
- assessing radiation risks in the workplace and providing advice on the design of plant, equipment and waste disposal to ensure safety
- assessing the impact of releasing radioactive material into the environment
- advising on the safe transport of radioactive materials
- liaising with regulators and other bodies.


What you'll need:

• A relevant postgraduate qualification in a discipline such as Radiological Protection or Radioactive Waste would be ideal, but not essential.
• Enthusiasm and a proactive approach to work, backed by excellent communication and time management skills.
• The ability to comply with Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) security requirements.

What you'll get:


We will provide you with a supportive and engaging environment where you can grow your career.

In addition:

• Generous pension and employee share schemes

• You'll also have the chance to get involved in our STEM outreach and volunteering activities, which our graduates find incredibly rewarding in all sorts of other ways.

Your career development:

It's hard to beat the variety of fantastic opportunities and business experiences you'll receive during this development programme.

You can expect real world encounters and exposure to exciting projects that will really help you navigate where you want to take your career.
