Glasgow

Risktec Solutions is an independent and specialist risk management consulting and training company, wholly owned by its employees. We assist clients, primarily in major hazard industries, to manage safety, engineering and business risk.

Due to the continued growth and success of our Glasgow business, based in East Kilbride, we are seeking highly motivated, dynamic and influential individuals to work effectively and collaboratively within our existing team. Initially you will support a range of existing and new projects within the nuclear generation industry, primarily supporting the safe and effective deployment/use of safety critical equipment within nuclear power stations. However, there will be opportunities to work on a diverse range of safety related projects within other industries including, but not limited to, Oil & Gas, Process/Chemical, Defence and Renewable Energy. You will be required to work closely with consultants within our other UK offices, and possibly our overseas offices, to deliver effective company-wide solutions to our clients.

Producing formal technical reports, Safety Cases and other project deliverables on time and to budget.
Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of equipment designs and configurations.
Supporting effective 'management of change' for safety critical equipment.
Managing and developing existing, established client relationships.
