• Continue building your own capability through learning and development activity.

What the role requires

• Experience in the civil nuclear sector, potentially including engineering, construction, operations, commissioning, or decommissioning work connected to nuclear projects, assets, or facilities.
• Strong consulting experience, either from a major consulting firm or from industry with a consulting background.
• Commercial and business understanding, including the ability to use your own network and the organisation’s existing relationships to generate additional revenue.
• The ability to drive improvement for clients by drawing on experience from the full civil nuclear lifecycle and other relevant sectors.
• Evidence of success in a matrixed organisation and the ability to gain support and commitment from peers when selling and delivering consulting solutions.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to build and sustain effective networks.
• Confidence working in fast-paced, high-performing environments.
• A commitment to delivery excellence and consistently high standards.
