In some cases this would entail working with UKAEA “ATOH” (Authority to operate holders) holders and Plant Safety Team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure development, implementation, and compliance with technical processes and operating procedures for electrical decommissioning.
• Develop detailed plans for electrical system decommissioning, including schedules coordinated with waste, logistics, and other site interfaces.
• Conduct site surveys to identify electrical assets requiring isolation or removal and document findings.
• Perform risk assessments and implement mitigation measures to prevent electrical hazards during decommissioning activities.
• Engage with programme stakeholders and suppliers to define requirements, manage interfaces, and maintain positive relationships.
• Provide expert advice to resolve obstacles using creative solutions, lessons learned, and best practices.
• Manage or supervise disconnection, removal, and disposal of electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, panels, wiring, and generators.

• Familiarity with industry-standard information management systems used in decommissioning.

Experience:

• Proven track record delivering engineered solutions in decommissioning or
  waste management projects.
• Proven engineering experience delivering complex electrical solutions in large programmes/projects.
• Experience in highly complex technical projects, including risk mitigation.
• Extensive experience in decommissioning, demolition, or facility
  decommissioning environments.
• Application of design standards and risk mitigation in electrical engineering.
• Experience supervising staff and collaborating with project managers.
• Familiarity with industry-standard information management systems.
• Experience supervising staff and ensuring adherence to safety and design
