We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That's why we support you to pursue a career that's unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll develop meaningful insights that influence senior leaders to take action on performance and compliance issues within Central Support Functions (CSF) and across the wider nuclear fleet. Your ability to analyse and communicate complex information will be key to driving improvements where they matter most.

You'll lead surveillance teams across stations and CSF, providing robust oversight in your areas of expertise. Managing multiple workstreams simultaneously, you'll ensure that oversight activities are focused, impactful, and aligned with organisational priorities.

Acting as a key interface with external regulators and the organisation, you'll help maintain strong relationships and ensure transparency. You'll also build a broad network of leaders across the fleet and central teams, enabling you to deliver challenging messages constructively and effectively.

Beyond your core responsibilities, you'll play a vital role in supporting or leading regulatory activities across the organisation. When required, you'll step in with delegated authority for the Fleet and Centre Regulatory Oversight Group Head, helping to steer critical decisions and maintain strategic oversight.

Who you are

As a minimum, you will hold a HNC or equivalent. You bring experience in organisational capability-whether through change management, leadership development, performance improvement, or HR-within a regulated industry. Ideally, you've played a key role in major change within a large, technical organisation.

Proactive and emotionally intelligent, you think independently, develop valuable insights, and influence at all levels. You're confident delivering difficult messages that lead to real action, and experience working with regulators is a plus.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Clearance (SC) which will, ordinarily, require you to have British residency for the last 5 years.

Applications for this role close on the 29th June 2025.
