Job summary

ONR is not a Civil Service department, however, we are an arms length body of Department of Work and Pensions.

The Opportunity

As the UKs independent nuclear regulator, our mission is vital to the nations safety and security. We protect society by securing safe operations at nuclear facilities across our nation.

This is an exciting role critical to the decarbonisation of the UKs economy; our national defence; and the decommissioning of our nuclear legacy. A career with ONR will provide you with opportunity to lead and shape our societys future use of nuclear technology.

The Role

Effective cyber security is increasingly important as modern technology, and interconnected devices become a fundamental part of everyday life. Its vital to protect the devices and services we access online and at work from harm.

Our Cyber Security and Operational Resilience specialism is responsible for ensuring the civil nuclear sector protects the sensitive nuclear information it holds and appropriately safeguards the systems essential to deliver key outputs and functions.

This is achieved primarily through:

Assessment of duty holders cyber security arrangements to provide confidence that risks are being adequately managed.
Undertaking regulatory inspections with duty holders to ensure the effective implementation of technical cyber security controls to protect essential functions and the systems that support them (including information technology, operational technology, and sensitive nuclear information).
Conducting inspections of facilities across the nuclear supply chain to ensure cyber security risks are effectively managed.
Contributing to the development of regulatory policy and influencing the development of good practice both nationally and internationally.
Liaison with other regulators (including those in security and safety disciplines) and various Government security and intelligence agencies, including the co-ordination of the sectors response to high profile cyber security events and incidents.
Representing ONR at security events and meetings, such as those organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the World Institute for Nuclear Security, European Nuclear Security Regulators Association, the UK Cyber Security Council, and those directly by the UK Nuclear industry.

Training to expand and deepen knowledge and experience in specific nuclear, cyber security, operational resilience, information assurance and regulatory topics will be given throughout the successful candidates career, however successful applicants will already have demonstrable experience in the field.

As experience of regulating nuclear security increases, inspectors are given the opportunity to progress and achieve promotion.
