Let us introduce the role

AWE is currently recruiting for a Senior Safety Management Specialist for the Surety Engineering Group to help develop, implement, sustain and optimise the Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) across the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE).

Key accountabilities and responsibilities:

1. Develop an integrated approach to safety and environmental management across the Defence Nuclear Enterprise.
2. Implement the requirements within Defence Standard 00-56 (and Defence Acquisition Safety Management Systems (ASEMS)).
3. Enhance and optimise formal risk management processes to identify hazards and assess and mitigate risk.
4. Proactively engage with stakeholders to ensure the necessary organisational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures are implemented.
5. Develop and implement processes for safety and environmental performance monitoring and continuous improvement.
6. Identify and implement the training, education and promotion required within the DNE SEMS.
7. Support the development of an organisational culture that reflects the developed safety policy and objectives.
8. Support external activities as required as part of the Outreach and Engineering Programme, i.e. through presentations to external conferences/symposia.

We are seeking people with diverse skillsets, at various stages of their careers, including career returners, to join our dynamic team. We are proud to have such a friendly and supportive group for you to join which offers excellent development opportunities for our staff to progress. Within the team there are a number of learning and training opportunities, including up to Master's level following the recent launch of the Defence Nuclear Safety Engineering MSc.
