Job Description

Ready to build a career in radiological protection, environmental safety, and nuclear operations? Looking for an opportunity to develop your knowledge, skills and experience in a unique, safety-critical environment? At EDF, Success is Personal and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.

As Health Physicist Technician, known as an Environmental Safety Technician at Torness Power Station, you'll play a vital role in supporting radiological safety standards that protect people, the environment and station operations. Working within the Environmental Safety Team, you'll help ensure compliance with company standards, UK legislation, including IRR17, and the application of ALARP principles across a range of operational activities.

Working full time on site at Torness Power Station, you'll join a highly skilled team responsible for maintaining the highest standards of radiological safety while supporting the station's safe and efficient operation. This is an excellent opportunity to develop specialist expertise within one of the UK's most highly regulated industries.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll support a wide variety of environmental and radiological safety activities, including:

  • Measuring radiation and contamination levels, recording results and reporting findings in accordance with site procedures and regulatory requirements
  • Assisting colleagues to work safely in areas where radiation and contamination hazards exist
  • Providing support and advice on radiological protection matters within the scope of the role
  • Liaising with operational teams to ensure radiological risks are understood and appropriately managed
  • Setting up, calibrating, commissioning and maintaining radiological monitoring equipment, identifying and reporting defects where required
  • Collecting, processing and managing radioactive waste
  • Carrying out environmental district survey monitoring and environmental sample collection
  • Undertaking sampling and radiochemical analysis to support compliance with environmental discharge permits
  • Supporting dosimetry administration and management activities
  • Assisting with radiological incident response arrangements and emergency preparedness activities
  • Reporting identified issues and supporting investigations to identify causes and implement effective solutions

Who You Are

We're looking for someone who enjoys working in a practical, technical environment and takes pride in maintaining high safety standards. You'll be proactive, detail-focused and comfortable working alongside a wide range of teams across site.

As a minimum, you'll have:

  • GCSEs, National 5 Qualifications or equivalent educational attainment
  • A full UK driving licence
  • A strong commitment to safety and compliance
  • The ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with others

The following qualifications would be advantageous:

  • Five National 5’s Grade C or above, or Five GCSEs at Grade 4/C or above (or equivalent), including Maths, English and 2 Science or Technical subjects
  • City & Guilds Level 1 in Radiation Protection, NVQ Level 2 in Radiation Protection or equivalent
  • Radiation safety and contamination control training
  • IOSH Working Safely or equivalent
  • Membership of the Society for Radiological Protection (Technical or Incorporated)

Previous experience as a Health Physics Technician, Environmental Safety Technician or within a similar role in a regulated industry, particularly nuclear, would be beneficial.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would also be advantageous:

  • Radiation and contamination monitoring and surveys
  • Radioactive waste processing
  • Dosimetry administration
  • Environmental monitoring and sampling programmes
  • Radiochemistry laboratory activities
  • Instrument management and calibration
  • Radiological protection equipment management
  • Emergency preparedness and response arrangements

Whilst experience across all areas is desirable, it isn't essential. Full training will be provided, including development in key aspects of radiological protection and environmental safety, with relevant assessments supporting your progression.

Please note that this role requires personal protective equipment to be worn for a significant proportion of the working day, including respiratory protection equipment. In this role you will be required to work outside in all weather, work at heights, in confined spaces and in nuclear facilities with ionising radiation. Successful candidates must meet EDF's A1 medical standard as part of the onboarding process.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will ordinarily require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.

You will be required to undertake a role in the emergency scheme, and this will require you to be on a standby rota.

As this is a full-time, site-based opportunity, you will need to live within 25-30 miles of Torness Power Station.

Pay, Benefits and Culture

In addition to a competitive salary of £38,846 - £50,950, we offer a company pension scheme, generous holiday entitlement and a wide range of flexible benefits that support your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing.

Everyone is welcome at EDF. We're committed to building a workforce that reflects gender balance, social mobility, and inclusion of minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, and those with disabilities. As a Disability Confident employer, we'll support applicants who require adjustments throughout the recruitment process.

We value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive, develop and succeed.

As you consider joining EDF Nuclear Operations, we want you to know what drives us. Our values are more than words, they shape how we work, how we grow, and how we support one another.

We move with agility, embracing change and responding quickly to new challenges and opportunities.

We pursue excellence in everything we do, delivering high-quality outcomes while continually developing ourselves and those around us.

We act with integrity, always choosing to do what's right. Trust, respect and accountability are the foundation of our culture.

These values are not just what we believe, they're how we work. If they resonate with you, you'll thrive here.

Applications for this role close on the 28th November, with interviews to follow shortly after.
