Who are we?
Simply put, our job is to secure a safer future for us all. We do this by managing and disposing of the UK's nuclear radioactive waste safely and securely for generations to come. We have a critical role in the biggest multi-decade clean-up project in Europe. As part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group, we provide permanent answers for nuclear waste.
Nuclear Waste Services builds on the work delivered at the Low-Level Waste Repository (LLWR) site and the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) programme, maintaining these key activities whilst also adding further essential services for customers in the nuclear energy, defence, industrial, medical, and research sectors. Maintaining and developing this knowledge and experience is key to securing and developing our unique nuclear waste capabilities for the UK and the rest of the world.
If you join Nuclear Waste Services, you'll be part of a team that brings together some of the most brilliant minds from around the UK, working across many specialisms - scientific, engineering, safety, operations, commercial, community engagement, and regulatory - to name a few.
We want Nuclear Waste Services to be a great place to work where people are respected, included and can perform at their best. We do this by living our Nuclear Waste Services values:
