Essential Skills/Job Related Expertise

Security risk management experience in a management or assurance
role in the nuclear or other high hazard industry;
A solid understanding of current and emerging security threats;
An expert level of knowledge of physical protection systems and a strong working knowledge of at least two of the following:

emergency preparedness and response
Demonstrable experience of managing projects through sound planning, prioritisation, and timely delivery of work to a very high standard;
Highly articulate verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical matters to a non-expert audience; and
Confidence in the use of modern Microsoft based IT tools and applications.
