Facility Supervisor

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the FCA Programme for a Facility Supervisor to play a key role in the safe, effective delivery of operations and operational maintenance across a complex, highly regulated site. This is a hands‑on role offering variety, responsibility and the chance to influence standards, safety and performance while developing your supervisory and management capability.

What you’ll be doing:

Working closely with the Facility Manager and a wide range of stakeholders, you will help ensure work is planned, executed and reviewed to the highest standards, while supporting teams, contractors and site requirements in a dynamic environment.

• Provide effective supervision of facility and operational activities, acting as Building Supervisor and supporting day‑to‑day delivery, problem solving and progress reporting.
• Plan and control work by reviewing and preparing safe systems of work, waste compliance documentation, schedules, hazard reviews and managing changes in scope.
• Monitor, challenge and support contractor performance, applying STOP work principles where required to maintain safety and compliance.
• Fulfil key management and safety appointments (e.g. Permit to Work Issuer, Area Waste Officer, RPS/RMC, Building Warden), participate in emergency response, and line manage Dounreay staff.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven site and operational experience within a highly regulated industrial or plant environment, with strong safety awareness and understanding of work control processes.
• Confident organiser and planner, able to manage competing priorities, understand risk and maintain control of complex activities.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a positive, self‑motivated and assertive approach and the confidence to use initiative.
• Radiological experience is highly desirable (ideally with RPS/RMC appointments); knowledge of assay systems would be an advantage.

We are looking to hold interviews week commencing Monday 08 June 2026, however, please note that this vacancy may close earlier than the stated deadline should we receive a high volume of applications, so we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.
