Project Overview:

Bechtel Cavendish Nuclear Solutions (BCNS) is a joint venture between Bechtel Ltd and Cavendish Nuclear Ltd, working since 2011 to deliver the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo Retrievals (PFCS) Project alongside and on behalf of the client; Sellafield Ltd.  The Pile Fuel Cladding Silo is a Legacy and Pond Silo facility. As part of the client’s hazard and risk reduction programme, the PFCS project was tasked to successfully deliver plant and equipment capable of accessing the historic waste, removing it and transferring it into containers for safe interim storage. Using a ‘fit for purpose’ model and operating in close collaboration with Sellafield Ltd, a solution was delivered that met the functional requirements by the most efficient means. The contract is now in the third phase (Full Retrievals), which involves further modifications to the silo to enable the eventual installation of the second set of retrievals equipment (currently sitting at Rosyth), along with various productivity enhancements to the existing equipment. This work is likely to continue at least into 2025.  The role will be based primarily at the site at Sellafield, Cumbria, UK however travel to Rosyth in support of Integrated Testing and training, works testing across the UK, and Warrington head office may also be required.  Site-based personnel usually work compressed hours Mon-Thu. Flexible working arrangements will be considered. Various shift patterns may be required to support project delivery.
