The successful candidate will be the senior project manager for the strategically important reactors fuels project and operations work at both the Dounreay Fast Reactor (DFR) and the Prototype Fast Reactor (PFR) facilities, leading the breeder fuel removal project and operations scope being delivered at DFR and the PFR Irradiated Fuels Cave (IFC) operations and the future PFR fuels project.
