A lot of lives depend on the systems we maintain and deliver. So we need to make sure they are safe even if something goes wrong. On this programme, you’ll learn about how to identify, analyze and safeguard against hazards, failures and faults. In the process, you’ll develop your understanding of everything from production and manufacturing to project management, design and safety.
Applications for our programmes are currently closed. But if you register your details, we’ll make sure you’re first to know when our programmes re-open.
The aim of the Nuclear Safety Case/Hazard Management programme is to give you a broad education in all areas of hazard management that will enable you to choose a specialism at the end of the programme. This will involve placements at several of our sites and projects, and training with safety case authors, human factors consultants, engineers of all disciplines, radiation protection advisors and specialists in assessing shielding requirements. There will also be opportunities to work with other specialists such as environmental management as required. Your work will support the safe construction, operation and decommissioning of civil nuclear facilities and Royal Navy submarines. You will be trained to comply with regulations and work with regulating bodies to provide hazard management advice for a wide range of engineering projects and sites using various methodologies across all stages of the site/facility lifecycle.
You’ll need to be degree educated. Most common are degrees in a science or engineering discipline but all disciplines are considered. You may need to satisfy the MOD’s security requirements (and may need to complete a medical assessment).
We will provide you with a supportive and engaging environment where you can grow your career.
In addition:
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.
