The nuclear industry is enjoying significant growth and investment, and therefore we are expanding our Human Factors team to meet the resulting demand. We are looking for Junior, Senior and Principal Human Factors Assessors to help NNL deliver a diverse portfolio of projects working at the forefront of science.

• Self-Motivation: You be able to plan your diary / manage your own workload - the ideal candidate will be able to plan their work effectively so they can deliver to cost, quality and schedule.
• Previous Human Factors experience: While experience in a high hazard environment is ideal it is not a prerequisite, and we would welcome interest from Human Factors Assessors from other industries and those willing to develop new skills.

The ideal Senior or Principal Human Factors Assessor should also have:

• Great Communication Skills: You will meet a diverse range of stakeholders so you will be able to articulate compelling arguments, both verbally and in a written format, to people at all levels of the business.
• Critical Thinking: You will routinely apply systematic analytical techniques to direct the work that you or others do. You can be proportionate and apply pragmatism where required.
• Safety Management: You will work closely with specialist safety assessors so you will understand how radiological, chemotoxic and criticality safety cases are developed and implemented. You will support them to define appropriate human-based protections.
• Self-Motivation: You can work proactively and support others to do so. You will enjoy developing a folder of evidence to demonstrate that Human Factors has been appropriately integrated. You can maintain control over costs, delivery, and schedule.
• Developing Others: You will enjoy mentoring and developing junior members of the team.
• Expertise in Human Factors: You will have significant experience deploying Human Factors tools and techniques in other high hazard industries. You will have a good working knowledge of regulatory requirements and industrial standards. For Principal roles you should ideally have a national or international presence or reputation.
