AWE is currently recruiting for a Radiological Waste Specialist. As part of AWE Waste Services Group, you will manage the review, sentencing, recording, and consignment of Radioactive Solid and Non-aqueous Waste on behalf of the company. Key aspects are to liaise with internal and external stakeholders to demonstrate compliance with third party Waste Acceptance Criteria and to coordinate resources and governance bodies to realise the export of RA Waste whilst ensuring AWE remains within its Permits and Authorisations. You will be responsible for identifying and assessing any assay necessary to be undertaken to support RA waste sentencing as well as identifying waste suitability for external consignment via existing routes under an established framework contract, supporting the RA Waste Operations Manager in optimising waste management services in line with regulatory and business requirements.

Experience of collating and presenting information in structured reports. A good understanding of applying rigorous safety and quality cultures to practical demands. An awareness of health and safety, and good working practice.

You will also have initiative, enthusiasm, a flexible approach, and ability to work to tight deadlines. Some reasons we think you’ll love it here:
