The work of the Safety, Security and Licensing Authority Radiation Protection team is to develop Radiation and Radioactive Waste Policy and provide Radiation Protection and Radioactive Waste governance by following and developing processes. These ensure that RRSL is compliant with company standards and with requirements for operating 2 nuclear Licensed Sites at Raynesway Derby as well as external areas across Rolls Royce Submarines Ltd.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls Royce Submarines currently has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Radiation Protection Adviser (RPAs), Radioactive Waste Adviser or Radiation Protection Specialist to join Rolls-Royce Submarines Limited (RRSL) in Derby.

We’re a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority for building and maintaining their reactors.

Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.

What we offer:

• Excellent development opportunities, training, and support for you to progress and gain the experience and knowledge to become a Radiation Protection Advisor.
• Market leading salary based on your knowledge, experience and qualifications.
• Exceptional benefits including company pension contributions up to 12% of your salary.
• 26 days leave, with the ability to accrue an additional 16 days through additional hours.
• Employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It’s locally managed through an informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum, we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What You Will Be Doing:

You will be working under the guidance of a Radiation Protection Manager across operational facilities and Rolls Royce out stations:

• Be part of a team dealing with the day-to-day operations across 2 Nuclear licensed sites.
• Support the new build programme for operational facilities, with Radiation Protection and Radioactive Waste and Environmental Permitting Advice.
• Develop standards and arrangements for Radiation Protection, Radioactive Waste Management, and Environmental Permitting, Carriage of Dangerous Goods Class 7 and enforce these across RRSL.

Who we are looking for:

• A science-based degree or demonstrable equivalent experience.
• Experience working within Health Physics, radiation protection or radioactive waste and environment.
• Ability to use bespoke software applications is essential for the role.
• Interpersonal and effective communication skills (both verbal and written) with team leaders and other members of staff.
• The ability to follow documented procedures and processes, and the ability to plan own work within job requirements.
• Radiation Protection Advisor or Chartered Radiation Protection Professional.

We are also interested in applications from Health Physicists who do not yet fulfil all of these requirements as training and development opportunities will be provided.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.

To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business, an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently have this in place.

Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.
