NUVIA UK's Technical Services & Consulting department is fast growing with hybrid opportunities available up and down the country. We're striving to create a multidisciplinary team to offer our clients the best range of talent.

BPSS clearance will be required at basic level. Prior clearance will not be transferrable.

The role is required to manage the process of assessing worksites for asbestos, COSHH, beryllium, and radiological hazards during the discovery, pre‑construction and construction phases. The role will act as the gatekeeper and focal point for hazard assessment by organising, planning, scheduling, coordinating, and collating survey findings into reports linked into decommissioning and waste handling, storage, and disposal activities providing traceability and assurance through the lifecycle.

As a Monitored Radiation Worker (under IRR 2017), the role will work closely with Senior Authorised Persons, characterisation, radiological, asbestos and COSHH assessors.

NUVIA is a branch of VINCI, the world's largest integrated concessions and construction group. NUVIA is more specifically the nuclear entity of the VINCI Group and is involved in the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities, from new build to decommissioning, maintenance and operation. NUVIA is constantly growing, with more than 2700 employees worldwide. On average, 100 men and women join us every year.

Now, more than ever, we are looking for new talent to support the group's growth.
