The University of Manchester has been a centre for ideas that change the world since 1824. Right now, we are addressing key challenges in energy security and environmental sustainability and building a brand-new Nuclear Compliance team to help us do it. As Nuclear Compliance Safety Lead, not only will you play a key assurance role but, by contributing to our research projects, also develop your reputation as a world-leading expert in your field and architect of safer energy for the future.
What you will do
You will support the implementation, commissioning, management and operation of the University’s new alpha radionuclide laboratories and lead on safety issues. Reporting directly to the Nuclear Laboratory Control Manager (NLCM), you will line manage Health Physics operations and form part of the core Nuclear Compliance team along with other Leads at the facility. You will support the NLCM in meeting standards set by regulatory bodies and facilitate the smooth implementation of environmental, radiological safety and security compliance in everything we do.
An authority in your field, you will help drive the collaborative approach that inspires our teams and supports our research, bringing real benefits in the wider world.

The University of Manchester welcomes applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.
We are creating a UK first-of-a-kind capability for alpha-materials research. This pioneering endeavour will bridge the gap between what can be achieved conventionally, in academia, and what can be achieved in specialist facilities, primarily located on nuclear-licensed sites. This will represent a significant step change for the UK in innovative nuclear research, and a key development platform for the expert nuclear workforce of the future.
