The UK Context Lead, part of the Nuclear Service Agreement (NSA) Consortium Leader Technical Directorate, is responsible for ensuring that UK Context requirements are translated into NSA Consortium processes, which are proportionate ‘fit for purpose’ arrangements that can be readily understood and consistently applied by any engineering service, whom may not be familiar with UK requirements. A strong interface with HPC arrangements is expected, as NSA processes are derived from HPC’s.

This person is responsible for the lifecycle implementation of emergent subjects (scoping, stakeholder engagement, development, testing and rollout training) and updating as required. Based on the current plan for delivery this Service requires management of the lifecycles of technical solutions on UK-Context subjects:

•       Delivery of allocated technical scope as identified in the UK-Context delivery plan

•       For EPR-E workload management, this person can support HPC teams within EPR-E

The UK Context Lead will use their experience and knowledge to deliver solutions for successful embedding of those arrangements across the NSA Consortium by effective training and coaching/guidance. They must be able to engage and influence their peers and management stakeholders across the RD organisation.
