Nuclear Waste Services has a vacancy for an experienced Senior Geological Investigation Manager to join our Harwell team flexible working across the NWS estate.
Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) is the Government organisation responsible for the delivery of a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) for the UK’s inventory of higher activity wastes. The selection of a suitable site is based upon a consent-based process, where there is both a willing community and a suitable geological setting. At present, there are several communities which have formed a Community Partnership.
As part of this role, you will be responsible for planning, specifying, managing and obtaining data from geological investigations. This includes technical leadership of project teams in NWS and the supply chain responsible for the specification, procurement and management of contractors and delivery of surface-based investigations to ensuring geoscientific outputs meet the requirements and expectations of end-users and support the assessment of a potential site’s suitability to dispose of radioactive waste.
