About the Role

Ready to shape radiological safety standards that protect people, plants, and performance across the nuclear fleet? Do you want your expertise to influence decisions at the highest level and deliver consistent best practice where it matters most? At EDF, success is personal, and this role gives you a clear opportunity to see the impact of your expertise. As Radiological Protection Fleet Manager, you’ll play a critical role in supporting EDF’s journey towards an Electric Britain, ensuring fleet‑wide excellence in radiological protection and dangerous goods transport.

You’ll own policies, standards, and performance frameworks, working closely with senior leaders, regulators, and station teams to embed industry‑leading practice across generation. This role is ideally based from Gloucester Business Park, with flexibility to be near another office across the fleet. You’ll work a hybrid pattern, spending 2–3 days per week in a local office, with regular travel to nuclear sites to support delivery and continuous improvement.

• Leading peer groups, setting KPIs, and reporting fleet performance to senior governance forums
• Developing and delivering fleet improvement plans, including budget and investment oversight
• Coaching, mentoring, and supporting station teams through assessments, evaluations, and benchmarking

• A degree or HND in a relevant topic may be an advantage
• Significant experience in operational radiological protection, ideally within a nuclear power station environment
• Experience leading teams, peer groups, or governance programmes within a nuclear operator environment
• Strong knowledge of UK legislation, Site Licence Conditions, and radiological protection standards
• Demonstrated experience applying radiological safety principles within nuclear facilities
