Job details

We are currently creating a pipeline for an upcoming Document Controller opportunity on behalf of our client NDA.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is a non-departmental public body created through the Energy Act 2004.

We have 5 offices across the UK, in Cumbria, Dounreay, Harwell, Warrington and London.  We have 17 sites including the first fleet of nuclear power stations, research centres, fuel-related facilities, and Sellafield, which has the largest radioactive inventory and the most complex facilities to decommission.

We are sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and supported by Dounreay, Magnox, Nuclear Waste Services, Nuclear Transport Solutions and Sellafield. The Scottish government also has a governance role, working closely with DESNZ to ensure its expectations are met.

Our role is strategic: we establish the overall approach, allocate budgets, set targets and monitor progress.

We do not have a hands-on role in cleaning up our facilities. Instead, we deliver our mission through others, primarily 12 businesses.

We are responsible for:

• decommissioning and cleaning up these nuclear facilities ensuring that all waste products, both radioactive and non-radioactive, are safely managed.
• implementing policy on the long-term management of nuclear waste.
• developing UK-wide strategy and plans for nuclear Low Level Waste (LLW).
• scrutinising the decommissioning plans of EDF Energy, who own the operating fleet of Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor (AGR) nuclear power stations.

• To review, archive or destroy documented information in line with the company policies and procedures.
• To ensure that document management systems are developed, maintained and meet Nuclear Waste Services, regulatory, stakeholder and customer needs.
• To have an in-depth knowledge of the different roles within document management and to guide each role accordingly.
• To be fully embedded into the end-to-end life cycle of document management, from creating a document, numbering, publishing, version control, review and withdrawal.
• To be the point of contact for all document control issues and to deal with them in a professional manner.
• To actively monitor the health of document management for NWS.
• Review submitted documentation and prepare document metrics and deliver when and if required.
• Issue controlled copies and transmittals as and when required ensuring that the associated trackers are kept up to date.
• Prepare reports for the overall heath and status of documentation, making sure support is given to address risks and mitigate issues.
• To deliver set document management objectives and targets.
Additional Responsibilities
• Achieve and exceed set turnaround targets for document control and production activities.
• Regularly provide updates when required against key targets and deliver to the business when required.

You’ll have relevant experience in:

• Document Control experience
• Experience working with management systems and document management toolsets.
• Good communication skills
• Excellent IT skills and fully competent in Microsoft office Software.
• Ability to work as part of a team and be flexible.
• Good organisation skills
• Ability to manage a busy workload and prioritise.
• Understanding of different artifacts (Drawings, Process Maps, Word documents etc),
