• Help shape the direction of the nuclear offering and contribute to the wider growth strategy for the business.
• Coach and develop junior colleagues while setting an example through your own behaviour and leadership style.
• Support business development and thought leadership activity, including identifying, pursuing, and converting new opportunities.
• Use a mix of existing client relationships, broader company connections, and your own network to help generate revenue.
• Contribute to internal initiatives such as campaign creation, internal discussion groups, white papers, practice development, recruitment, team activities, and service offering development.
• Continue building your own expertise through ongoing learning and training.

What the team is looking for

• Hands-on experience in the civil nuclear sector, potentially including engineering, construction, operations, commissioning, or decommissioning work related to nuclear projects, facilities, or assets.
• Strong consulting experience, either from a major consulting firm or from an industry role that has a consulting-style background.
• Commercial judgement and a solid understanding of how to grow business, including the ability to use your own network and the organisation’s existing relationships to create revenue.
• The ability to improve client outcomes by applying lessons and insight from the full civil nuclear lifecycle and other relevant sectors.
• A track record of succeeding in matrixed organisations and gaining the support of peers when selling and delivering consulting solutions.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to build and maintain effective professional networks.
• Confidence working in fast-paced, high-performing environments while consistently delivering to a very high standard.
• A proactive mindset focused on growth, opportunity creation, and working with leadership to pursue both new and existing business.
• Experience as both a business leader and a people leader.
