Health Physics Surveyor

Join our team as a Health Physics Surveyor, where you will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with safety standards through routine radiation and contamination surveys. You will perform operational checks on radiation monitoring instruments, support the planning and implementation of radiological protection measures, and manage radioactive sources according to established protocols. Additionally, you will undertake radiological sampling and analysis, maintain accurate records, and collaborate with the Health Physics Supervisor to promote radiological safety practices.

Responsibilities

• Conduct routine radiation and contamination surveys, including personnel, equipment, and environmental monitoring, to ensure compliance with safety standards.
• Perform daily operational checks on radiation monitoring instruments and report any faults for timely maintenance or calibration.
• Support the planning and implementation of radiological protection measures, contributing to risk assessment and mitigation.

Requirements

• Minimum NVQ Level 2 in Radiation Protection or equivalent qualifications in a science/engineering-related field.
• City and Guilds stage 1 Radiation and Safety Practice
• Working knowledge of current health and safety legislation, including COSHH, RIDDOR, and ALARP principles.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail with the ability to accurately log and report data.
• Team Player: Capable of working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team, supporting colleagues with a positive and proactive approach.
• Attention to Detail: Able to conduct precise monitoring and reporting, essential for maintaining high standards of safety.
• Effective Communicator: Able to convey technical information clearly and concisely to supervisors, colleagues, and regulators.
• Problem Solver: Demonstrates initiative in identifying and resolving radiological issues efficiently, particularly in dynamic environments.
• Reliable and Punctual: Consistently adheres to schedules and meets deadlines, supporting smooth project workflows.

Preferred

• Experience working on nuclear, decommissioning, or similarly regulated industrial sites is preferred.
• Thorough understanding of radiological protection principles, including experience with monitoring equipment (e.g., EPDs, contamination monitors).
