About the Role
Join a leading consultancy in radioactive waste management and nuclear decommissioning as a Consultant. This role offers a unique opportunity to develop your expertise in numerical modelling, technical research, project management, and business development within the nuclear sector. You will work alongside world-class experts on diverse projects, applying your skills to criticality safety and radionuclide transport modelling. The role involves developing and applying numerical models to solve complex scientific and engineering challenges, producing high-quality technical reports, presenting findings to clients and stakeholders, supporting project delivery, and contributing to business growth. Training and development will be provided to enhance your existing skills and expand your knowledge of radioactive waste management and disposal. You will gain exposure to projects both in the UK and internationally, working in varied team environments from small expert groups to larger engineering project teams. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to safer, sustainable nuclear waste solutions and build your professional profile in a collaborative and innovative organisation.

Experience
Numerical modelling experience is essential. Experience with coding languages such as Python or C++ is required. Knowledge of specialised modelling software related to neutron/particle transport (e.g. MCNP), site characterisation, groundwater flow, gas transfer, or contaminant transport (e.g. GoldSim, COMSOL) is desirable but not essential as full training will be provided. Experience working to deadlines, prioritisation, and effective communication is advantageous.

About you
You are a highly motivated, adaptable individual with strong time management and problem-solving skills. You have a passion for working alongside technical experts and contributing to complex projects. You are eager to develop your expertise in nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management and are committed to delivering high-quality work. You hold the right to work in the UK and possess a valid driving licence for client visits. You are enthusiastic about working in a collaborative, people-focused, and innovative environment that values sustainability and diversity.

Qualifications
A degree-level qualification or equivalent experience in a quantitative science subject (e.g. Physics, Chemistry), applied mathematics, or engineering is essential. You must be able to meet the UK baseline personnel security standard (BPSS) clearance requirements. Project and contract management training will be provided, but prior experience is desirable.
