The University of Manchester has been a centre for ideas that change the world since 1824. Right now, we are addressing key challenges in energy security and environmental sustainability and building a brand-new Nuclear Compliance team to help us do it. As Radiation Technical Advisor, you will play a key governance role in a pioneering research project that will further establish the University as one of the centres of nuclear expertise.
What you will do
You will help ensure that the use and disposal of radioactive materials at the University complies with all relevant regulations including the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 and Nuclear Safeguards Act 2000. Risk assessments, operating procedures, transporting and exporting radioactive materials—you will collaborate with the Head of Services and other facility Leads to ensure we meet the highest standards of security and safety.
Driving a collaborative, knowledge-sharing approach to work, you will deliver laser safety compliance and radiological protection training programmes and provide expertise in an increasingly key area of energy security.
What you will get in return
- Market-leading pension scheme
- Health and wellbeing support, including Employee Assistance Programme

The University of Manchester welcomes applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.
We are creating a UK first-of-a-kind capability for alpha-materials research. This pioneering endeavour will bridge the gap between what can be achieved conventionally, in academia, and what can be achieved in specialist facilities, primarily located on nuclear-licensed sites. This will represent a significant step change for the UK in innovative nuclear research, and a key development platform for the expert nuclear workforce of the future.
