Job Description

Location: Torness Power Station, Dunbar, Scotland

Salary: £36,497 to £45,658 plus shift allowance

Ready to be the first line of security and professionalism at one of the UK's most important energy sites? Looking for a role where no two days are the same, where you'll help protect critical infrastructure while working as part of a dedicated team? At EDF, "Success is Personal" and you'll have the opportunity to build a rewarding career while making a meaningful contribution.

As a Security Guard at EDF, you'll play a vital role in maintaining the safety, security and operational integrity of Torness Power Station. Working within EDF's Security Department, you'll be trusted to manage site access, monitor security systems, respond to incidents and ensure compliance with nuclear industry standards. As part of a business supporting the journey towards An Electric Britain, your work will help protect the people, assets and infrastructure that power our low-carbon future.

This role is based at Torness Power Station and involves working on-site as part of a shift-working team, including shifts of up to 12 hours, with both day and night shifts. You'll work alongside experienced colleagues in a unique operational environment, gaining exposure to specialist security processes, emergency response activities and regulatory standards specific to the nuclear sector.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Managing effective control of access to site for personnel, contractors and visitors
  • Conducting patrols of site boundaries, buildings and plant areas, reporting security concerns and irregularities
  • Undertaking searches of people, bags and vehicles in accordance with regulatory and company requirements
  • Monitoring and responding to alarms from physical security, access control and CCTV systems
  • Responding to emergencies and supporting site emergency arrangements in line with established procedures and plans

  • Knowledge and practical experience of CCTV operations
  • A proven track record of managing challenging situations effectively
  • The ability to work shifts of up to 12 hours across days and nights
  • The ability to patrol day and night, including stairs, ladders and enclosed spaces
  • A full UK driving licence
  • The ability to obtain Security Check (SC) Vetting

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
