Careers and Jobs with the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (NII) as a Nuclear Inspector.

Energy Recruitment Solutions Ltd ("ERS") has been appointed by Health and Safety Executive as a Preferred Supplier and Application Route to assist in the selection and appointment of Nuclear Installation Inspectors for the UK's Nuclear Sites. 

The NII inspectors are and will be based in HSE’s Redgrave Court complex in Bootle, Merseyside the Headquarters of NII and will cover the following sites from Regional Offices:

Dounreay, Rosyth, Torness, Hartlepool, Hunterston, Chapelcross, Windscale, Calder, Halland, Sellafield, Barrow in-Furness, Springfields, Heysham, Capenhurst, Bootle, Wylfa, Cardiff, Trawsfynydd, Derby, Bradwell, Harwell, Amersham, Aldermaston, Burghfield, Imperial College, Berkeley, Oldbury, Sizewell, Dungeness, Hinkley Point, Winfrith, Devonport. (locations of current major Nuclear licensed sites).

Simon Turner, Senior Consultant with specialist Nuclear Recruitment Agency, Energy Recruitment Solutions ("ERS"), reports that major opportunities are arising for Safety Professionals with transferable skill sets and relevant experience in the Nuclear Sector or High Hazard environments.

Candidates with practical experience gained in such areas as: Oil and Gas, High Hazard Transport Nuclear Propulsion, Nuclear Munitions, High Hazard Natural Fuel Resources, Nuclear Military, Nuclear Marine, Nuclear Power Plant or High Hazard Site Construction, Petro-Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Commercial and Public Utilities, Private or Public Sector roles, etc. have a rare opportunity to move quickly into the blossoming Nuclear Industry.

Many established players in the Specialist Engineering field are now approaching ERS to assist with finding key personnel, as they construct specialist departments to service the Nuclear Sector over at least the next decade of Reactor new-build projects and associated on-site plant and off-site manufacturing. ERS has been retained by HSE as a Preferred Supplier of Nuclear Safety Personnel. ERS also specialise in placing Safety Case Authors and Safety Case Assessors throughout the Nuclear Sector. 

The Nuclear Sector is presently experiencing something of a 'jobs boom', as demand outstrips supply of suitably skilled and experienced Safety related personnel. This has opened up new opportunities for migration of staff from other parallel and applicable disciplines in other sectors of industry as the UK economy contracts in the Recessionary economic climate.  

Following a 'brain drain' of highly skilled and experienced Nuclear personnel to overseas job opportunities into foreign countries where Nuclear Power adoption has escalated, following advancements in new generation methodologies, and has subsequently become a proven reliable green source of renewable, plentiful and financially viable low-carbon energy to meet spiralling global demand, the resultant demand for suitably experienced safety related posts has risen sharply, opening up exciting career opportunities for UK Nationals.

All applicants will have to be Security Cleared, therefore only applications from British Nationals who have been resident in the UK for at least the past 5 years, will be acceptable.

The plans to build new Nuclear Reactor Power Stations moved a step closer today, after Oldbury in South Gloucestershire was selected by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority ("NDA"), to be one of the preferred sites for the first wave of new build Nuclear Power Stations. More than £2 billion could be pumped into the local economy and up to 10,000 new jobs created if the bid is successful; around 1,000 new jobs would be for permanent skilled Nuclear workers and up to 9,000 could be created during the civil engineering and construction of the new Reactor Plant.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, which operates and cleans up state-owned sites, announced the selection of the South Gloucestershire site location today. The Prime Minister commented that Nuclear is crucial to the UK's 'low-carbon' future. It is crucial to our energy security and at the same time it represents a massive opportunity for the UK economy and also creates jobs.  Private Sector Industry is reported to be investing £Billions into the UK economy via Nuclear, and thereby new jobs are being created, and supply chain earn-out opportunities are developing in the wider economy.

Simon Turner, Senior Consultant for Nuclear Personnel Specialist Recruitment Agency; Energy Recruitment Solutions Ltd ("ERS"), advised that these developments are excellent news for the UK economy, injecting Billions of pounds into the UK, contributing positively to closing the energy gap, and in so doing, creating thousands of valuable new jobs for highly skilled personnel, in addition to pulling considerable revenue into the the supply chain. Simon advised that ERS is uniquely well positioned to supply these highly specialist personnel from it's established position as a dedicated Nuclear Recruitment Specialist Agency. (www.ERSJobs.co.uk)

The Prime Minister explained that during construction, each new Station would bring up to 9,000 new jobs to that local area, and create up to 1,000 skilled long-term jobs when fully operational and Commissioned, and be worth about £2Billion to the surrounding region and wider economy.  The Prime Minister has repeatedly called for the UK to increase its Nuclear Power capacity as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, which many experts believe to be a contributary cause of climate change and Nuclear is the low-carbon-emissions practical 'green' solution.

The first wave of next generation power plants are expected to be progressed through the approval and building stages quickly in order to facilitate the desired time-line. The NDA announcement today indicates that it recommends the Oldbury site, along with Sellafield, Wylfa in North Wales and Bradwell in Milton Keynes.

Organisations can make recommendations and bid for the opportunity to operate the Reactors and the Government will then assess them against the criteria for suitability, which will be published on Tuesday. Private Sector companies must be willing and able to make the full investment required to cover the costs, as no Government subsidies will be made available for the Nuclear new build and operation projects. The successful bidders will be announced in mid 2009, and will have to go through the local Planning Approvals process and will therefore inevitably meet some form of opposition from anti-nuclear campaign groups.

Energy Minister Mike O'Brien commented: "One year on since the Government took the decision that new Nuclear Power Reactors should have a role to play, we are making rapid progress."

Simon added: "France already obtains 90% of it's power from Nuclear, so recent developments are very encouraging for the Nuclear Industry, as the UK makes important headway towards catching up."

Professional Nuclear Job CV Curriculum Vitae/Resume Compilation

You have the sufficient talent and the right experience, so your Resume will have no problem in getting you a dream job in the prestigious world of Nuclear Energy, right? ...Well not exactly.  You can’t really assume the possibilities of a successful job hunt in simply making a new or revising an old or existing CV or Career (to date) Resume.  While you are correctly representing the excellent employee and consummate Nuclear industry professional that you believe you are, or could be, some competition will always be present and there will be always be hundreds of talented people applying for the same job you’re after.

An effective CV or Resume for other industry sector professionals won’t necessarily be effective for your Nuclear industry CV/Resume.  Usually, Resumes and CV's are arranged in chronological order by way of work related experiences.  However in the Nuclear field, being safety conscious and project or objective oriented will be a distinct advantage.  Special security clearance will be required for most positions.  This means that it would be advisable to list the important relevant project experiences and any existing Security Clearances that you have had in relation to the position that you’re aspiring to, or applying for.  Of course don’t miss out on the important skills you have acquired over your working experience that demonstrate your communication, management and people skills.

Let us explore the rest of the important tips you need to know on creating the eye-catching Nuclear Job resume:

• Be Specific - As a skilled, experienced, suitably qualified professional, you’re probably used to having multi-tasking multi-disciplined projects on the go and be able to think laterally and outside the box.  But don’t bore future employers with the usual resume clichés and broad skills and experience descriptions.  It would be better to have one or two-line description for every project experience you have gained in your list of abilities.

• Be Realistic About Your Salary/Pay Rate - As we all know Nuclear professionals do make a handsome living, but salaries do have variables which include areas of specialization and relevant experience.  When a potential employer’s Agency like ERS contacts you, they would probably ask for your expected salary range/pay rate and/or your salary/pay rate history in your career to date.  Although you may not have thought about it, be sure to come up with a reasonable range based on certain variables in the Nuclear industry.  You can probably think of thinning out your expectations if the company/organisation offers other great benefits such as prestige, flexible hours/working arrangements, a good pension scheme, generous tax breaks, special working-away accommodation rates, company car, or great accommodation allowances, etc.  Be prepared with a degree of flexibility in your desired salary/pay rate range and in your future salary/pay rate expectations, or else you might end up loosing the bid for the position you want.

• Words Used Are Just As Important! - Though it’s important that your CV/Resume be written in reader-friendly formatted language that makes sense to Managers looking to hire talented professionals, it’s also very possible that your resume will be scanned for specific keywords, possibly electronically.  Electronic Scanning is becoming increasingly common—especially in technical professions such as those associated with IT, construction, medical, compliance, safety, technical and scientific jobs, where hundreds of  CV/Resumes might reach the specialist hiring Agency—and if your CV/Resume is found lacking, it may not move on from the initial sift.  Make sure that you weave in your qualifications, certifications, major achievements, relevant experience and experience that has been outlined in the job posting, mimicking the posting’s language where it clearly makes sense.

• Clearly Define Your Objectives - Most Resumes/CV’s nowadays have defined career objectives at the beginning.  If you have that, be sure that your objectives are in line with the position you are applying for or aspiring to progress into after any required training. If you’re aiming for Civil Engineering but your background or specified objectives are associated with Mechanical Engineering, the chances are that your CV/Resume won’t have a chance of progression and reaching the prospective employer.  If it gives the impression that you are not paying adequate attention in your application to the job description, or it appears you’re not really the type of employee/contractor that they want for that post.  Nor does an all too general fluffy objective such as “I will utilize my extensive skills to benefit your company/organisation” make an effective impression.  Prospective employers are looking for the best most suitable person with the most extensive experience, appropriate knowledge and suitable levels of qualification to succeed in the role with which they are to be entrusted.  If you have this, you owe it to yourself to project this in your CV and Resume submissions.

Good Luck.

Simon Turner, Senior Recruitment Consultant for UK based Energy Recruitment Solutions Ltd ("ERS"), advises that ERS is receiving strong demand for Nuclear Safety Case Engineers, with Specialist Engineering Consultancies and Nuclear Operator companies competing over the best candidates as a Nuclear Safety Engineering Jobs become the fastest growing area of Nuclear work. Many Nuclear Engineers, Chartered and otherwise, are moving into Safety and enjoying enhanced prospects.

Recent major developments in the Nuclear Energy business have sparked a huge growth in employment opportunities in the market, with major new installations planned over a decade of sustained expansion and development of the industry, with the likelihood of Nuclear Power becoming the most economic method of  meeting the predicted energy gap. Naturally, safety is at the forefront of this growth as a priority issue, leading to excellent opportunities for Safety Engineers, worldwide. www.Nuclear-Energy.co.uk

Following the European Competition Commission's green light to EDF's proposed transformation of British Energy, acquired from the UK Government for £12 Billion in September 2008, EDF Chief Exectutive Vincent de Rivaz spoke of his ambitious growth plans for the combined forces of British Energy's Nuclear expertise and EDF's scientific expertise and his objectives for four new Nuclear Power Stations (the first new UK site in 2017).

The combined business now known as EDF Energy's plans to invest £16 Billion in new Reactors with six new Reactors planned around the world. The benefit for UK consumers of this development is that Vincent de Rivaz predicts ongoing cheaper energy for the UK, with potential svaings being passed on to consumers as early as 2009.

EDF's ambitious plans would put the UK at the forefront of the Nuclear Industry's development and offer excellent career opportunities in Nuclear to UK specialists. Vincent de Rivaz intends to create a multi-billion pound world class centre of Nuclear excellence, and with it, a springboard for new business opportunities in the West (such as athe US market) and the Far East (such as the Chinese market).   

In moves to address new targets for combating Climate Change, as the Government seeks to balance growing demand for electricity with economic factors and environmental considerations, this development is a step closer to avoiding dependency on the depleting natural reserves (oil, coal, etc.), addressing pollution issues and moving towards meeting future demand levels and closing the energy gap.

PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING

Every year about 1000 accidents at work involving electric shock and burns are reported to the Health and Safety Executive.  HSE prosecutions lead to fines and prison sentences.

Whatever your profession, trade or business, if you allow employees or the general public to use equipment then any appliances on the premises should be inspected and tested to approved standards on a regular basis.

Records must be maintained as proof of testing!

Legislation:

There are four main sets of legislation relating to in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment or Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) as it is more commonly known.

These are:-

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

The Management of the Health and Safety at Work Act Regulations 1999

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989

Regulation 4 (2) of The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states: “As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such danger”.

In order to meet these requirements, it is recommended to implement a programme of planned inspection and testing of portable appliances.

Definition of a "portable appliance"?

A “portable” appliance constitutes any item that has a plug and is connected to a mains socket in order to operate. It can be hand held, portable or fixed.

Such items would include the following:

PCs, monitors, printers, fax machines, mailing equipment, scanners, kettles, fans, portable air conditioning/heaters, radios, stereos, TVs, projectors, microwaves, toasters, drink machines, water coolers, mobile phone chargers, power supply units, extension leads, tills, credit card machines, compressors, photocopiers and any specialist trade equipment such as hair dryers, drills, soldering irons, chip fryers, hedge trimmers, lathes, beauty/tanning equipment.

Testing:

Generally the items tested are either 240V mains supply or 110V (generally on building sites).

Portable Appliance Testing by an external contractor would generally involve carrying out formal inspection and testing as laid out in the IEE Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment for portable appliances. This involves the following procedure:

1.      Each item is given an asset number.

2.      Formal inspection of cable, plug, internal plug wiring and fuse. Any equipment failing the inspection test will either be repaired if a minor repair is acceptable or be withdrawn from service and labelled with a fail sticker for repair by others.

3.      Assuming visual inspection passed, approved electrical testing procedures take place using a Portable Appliance Tester. These tests are specific to the class of equipment being tested and all results per item are retained in the tester.

4.      All items passing tests are provided with a pass sticker indicating result, asset number and date of next inspection. Any item failing test will be labelled accordingly as a failure and withdrawn from service.

5.      At the end of testing equipment on site, the test results are removed from site and downloaded to a PC. A report is then compiled giving written proof of results - copy sent to client.

How often should items be tested?

Tables are provided in the IEE Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment for portable appliances giving indications for both regular inspection of equipment and for the combined formal inspection and testing.

However, the guide continues to indicate that the intervals between testing should be based on usage and the environment in which it is being used.

Generally most portable appliances used in the work environment should be formally inspected and tested every 12 months with records kept to show that the testing has been carried out and indicating full results.

What do you need to do next?

If your appliances have never been tested or were tested over 12 months ago then contact a suitably qualified Electrician for a (cost per item or fixed price) quotation, which should include inspection, testing and subsequent (ongoing) reporting services.

Nuclear Jobs in China

ERS (www.ersjobs.net) have Clients urgently seeking Nuclear Construction Engineers (all disciplines Electrical, Mechanical and Civil) such as: Process Engineers, Safety Engineers, Commissioning Engineers, Project and Programme Managers, etc.

Work will revolve around the design development, commissioning and construction of China’s next four Nuclear Power Stations.

Project durations are circa 5-15 yrs depending on area of expertise. The Clients expect to require large volumes of international Engineers to be drafted in on contract basis. Ideally we would like to engage Eastern Europeans with experience in this area.

It is expected that the positions will involve varying types of assignments from short term specialist 12 month contracts with holiday periods built in, to the long term contracts with long periods of work without return flights i.e. full 12 month terms. (ex-pat Status) Tax free status (Stirling).

Career Potential:

China Nuclear project will require an estimated 3,000 to 7,500 people per site over the next 15 yrs!

This offers massive opportunities for correctly skilled, educated and experienced personnel.

They fully expect to have these sites built simultaneously with each station in varying stages of completion with a wide variety of associated skills sets required for the various roles.

They will ideally be utilising as many of the same people for all four stations to complete the same type of work, so there’s some great long-term and semi-permanent contracts with fantastic job security and earning potential, for the right candidates, and that’s just the construction aspects, without even taking into account the manning and maintenance, etc. and annual outage.

China and Nuclear Power Stations Construction Projects

Peoples Republic of China’s State Nuclear Power Technology Company (SNPTC) has recently selected the Westinghouse/Shaw Consortium and Westinghouse’s AP1000 passive Generation III technology as the basis for four nuclear power plants

The AP1000 Consortium will be working closely with Energy Recruitment Solutions in the implementation of the new build program with positions and assignments.

As part of the AP1000 Consortium, Shaw provide engineering, procurement, commissioning, and management services for the four Chinese nuclear generation units.

Simon Turner of Energy Recruitment Solutions Ltd ("ERS") reported that ERS have an ongoing need for staff to fulfill this large scale demand for professional skilled and educated construction and engineering experts. ERS have positions across all disciplines within construction and Engineering for long term ex pat staff positions near Shanghai.

ERS would like to hear from candidates with recent and current experience in construction engineering of Nuclear Power Stations across the world.

Experience from Ukraine, Romania, South Africa ,Sweden, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Finland, Russia, Lithuania, India, Slovakia, France, Canada and China, etc. is highly sought after and valuable.

Background:

With the fastest growing economy in the world and its population aggressively demanding to catch up with the western world. Huge demand is placed on the shoulders of the PRC to enable businesses to operate across its vast lands.

With an enormous percentage of its population still living off the land and largely still existing without mains electricity. You have another demand for upgrading the national infrastructure to support the businesses and as the population that converts to working within its factories is looking to emulate its western counterparts.

Wages enable independence better quality of life with improved towns and buildings.

Mainland China already has eleven nuclear power stations in commercial operation with a further six under construction, and plenty more in the planning stages about to start construction. China needs more Nuclear reactors if it is to continue its vertical climb in world wide dominance.

The countries rapid expansion in its growth of commercial and industry factories leads not only to national power shortages but also a heavy reliance on Fossil fuels that as a direct result is also a big impact on health and its smog related effects on the nation. 

China has to reduce its carbon foot print as its the second-largest contributor to energy-related carbon dioxide emissions after the USA.

Nuclear Power is a natural choice to support the required power capacity in the coastal areas remote from the coalfields and where the economy is developing quickest.

Location:

Shanghai and north and south at Sangmen and Haiyang.

At the end of February 2007 a framework agreement was signed between Westinghouse and SNPTC specifying Haiyang in Shandong province as the site of the second pair of AP1000 units, with Sanmen.

In July 2007 Westinghouse, along with consortium partner Shaw, signed the AP1000 contracts with SNPTC, Sanmen Nuclear Power Company, Shangdong Nuclear Power Company and China National Technical Import & Export Corporation (CNTIC). There were no specific terms released however figures of $5.3 billion for the deal have been widely quoted.

The Sanmen site works commenced in February 2008 and full construction for unit 1 is to start in March 2009, with the first power expected late in August 2013.

Its is widely acknowledged that EDF will take a 30% share in the Taishan project as joint venture partner with CGNPC.

Simon Turner advised that ERS understand that the Taishan Nuclear Power Company which will oversee the building, then own and operate the plant. Cost is estimated for the project, including fuel supply, to total in excess of 8 billion Euros. The Steam turbine generators alone will cost circa 300 million Euros.

Examples of the excellent Nuclear Job opportunities offered:

Modularisation Fabrication Manager will be required to oversee the Module Fabrication Shop for Module Fabrication and Delivery for the Haiyang Project.

Materials Manager to oversee material receipt, claims initiation, warehousing, storing and distribution operations by initiating, coordinating, and enforcing program, operational, and personnel policies and procedures for a Nuclear Power Plant construction project.
