About the Opportunity

About IA&R (Independent Assurance and Regulation)

IA&R provides risk based, proportionate, independent oversight and assurance to the defence and civil nuclear industry. In addition, we identify, define and execute programmes of Research and Technology to support some of the world’s most complex engineering challenges, including the UK Naval Nuclear Propulsion Programme (NNPP).

About the Role

Our dynamic, customer facing Independent Nuclear Assurance (INA) team has been supporting the NNPP for over sixty years. We pride ourselves on being a customer friend with a proven track record of providing authoritative and pragmatic nuclear safety and technical advice. An opportunity has arisen to join this diverse team of highly experienced staff who provide a key role in supporting the safe operation of the UK’s submarine fleet.

As a Nuclear Technical Engineer, you will help deliver independent assurance services to the MoD. This includes the provision of safety and technical advice for both current and future submarine Naval Reactor Plants (NRP). This involves working collaboratively with specialists from a wide range of technical disciplines, internal to Amentum, MoD and their contractors, to provide balanced, proportionate and timely support to ensure nuclear risks are identified, assessed and appropriately managed.
