The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is a non-departmental public body created to clean up the UK’s earliest nuclear safety sites safely, securely and cost-effectively, with care for people and the environment.

The work to clean up the UK’s nuclear legacy is the largest, most important environmental restoration project in Europe.

The NDA is undergoing a change in the way it is organised. The creation of ‘One NDA’ will transform the management of its businesses – working together to find more effective and efficient approaches to nuclear clean-up and decommissioning, on behalf of the tax-payer.

There are around 16,000 people who help deliver NDA’s mission and they make up one of the most advanced nuclear workforces in the world. One NDA plans to capitalise on this wealth of experience and talent, harnessing the opportunities that come from the scale and breadth of the group.

The Role:

At this exciting and challenging time, the NDA is seeking to appoint a Senior Internal Auditor, who will report directly to the Head of Group Internal Audit.

The role supports delivery of the Group Internal Audit Target Operating Model (TOM) and is responsible for production of various reports for the NDA and subsidiary Executive and Audit and Risk Assurance Committee (ARAC).

The role will require regular interaction with senior stakeholders such as the NDA Executive, NDA Group Executives and risk and assurance functions within NDA and the group.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide input into the development of internal audit plans and play a lead role in developing terms of reference and delivering audits.

  • Responsible for managing the delivery of internal audit and quality reviewing reports produced by more junior auditors in the team.

  • Prepare various reports for the NDA and subsidiary Executive and ARAC.
  • Support more senior colleagues when working with other risk and assurance functions within NDA and the group.
  • Participates in industry forums and external meetings.

You will, ideally, have gained significant Corporate Governance Internal Audit experience, dealing with a variety of audits as well as dealing with multiple stakeholders. You will, also have the ability to manage projects and audit resource, to achieve quality, effectiveness and efficiency.

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

We employ just over 200 staff and have offices in Cumbria, Caithness, Cheshire, London and Oxfordshire. We own 17 sites across England, Wales and Scotland, some dating back to the 1940s, plus the associated liabilities and assets.

We report to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS); for some aspects of our work in Scotland, we are responsible to Scottish ministers.

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.
