Independent Assurance and Regulation (IA&R) aim to provide world leading consultancy services across highly regulated industries.
Organised to be independent and free from conflict of interest, IA&R provides a range of trusted, evidence-based, support services to ensure that systems, technologies, and processes are safe, effective, compliant, and future-ready, across three main areas:
Independent Assurance - We provide risk based, proportionate, independent oversight and assurance of whether a project, process, system or product meets defined standards, requirements, or expectations.
Research & Technology - We identify, define and execute programmes of Research and Technology to support the continued safe operation of some of the world’s most complex engineering challenges, including the UK Naval Nuclear Propulsion Programme.
Independent Regulatory Support - A ring-fenced and independent organisation that supports regulators with assessments, audits, and guidance development.
IA&R has an aspiration to grow, transform and evolve into new industries, locations and technologies.
Our dynamic, customer facing Independent Nuclear Assurance (INA) team has been supporting the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) naval nuclear propulsion programme for over sixty years. A number of exciting opportunities have arisen to join this diverse team of highly experienced staff who provide a key role in supporting the safe operation of the UK’s submarine fleet.
As a Nuclear Technical Engineer, you will help deliver independent assurance services to the MoD. This includes the provision of safety and technical advice for both current and future submarine Naval Reactor Plants (NRP), which involves working with a wide range of technical disciplines to provide balanced, proportionate and timely support.
We are seeking personnel who are passionate about nuclear safety and a desire to work in support of some of the most complex, challenging and important projects within the UK. This work requires a general knowledge of the design and operation of the NRP, safety case development and methodologies, and the ability to communicate effectively.
We are particularly interested in individuals with an aptitude and enthusiasm for mechanical systems and structural integrity to complement our existing team.
Comprehensive training can be provided across a range of technical areas to support development. Therefore, if you feel you meet most but not all the requirements, or work in civil nuclear/high hazard industries and are keen to take on a new challenge, we would like to hear from you.
