Job Description

As Chief Safety & Risk Consultant - Human Factors within Assystem’s Safety & Risk business, you will lead the strategic development and growth of our Human Factors capability across nuclear, defence and critical infrastructure programmes. This is a senior leadership role where you will shape direction, define service offerings and ensure our capability aligns with evolving client needs and market demand.

A strong track record in technical leadership, capability development or strategic roles is essential, along with the ability to translate client needs into practical, value-driven solutions.

You will be comfortable operating at senior level, engaging with clients, influencing stakeholders and managing competing priorities. Experience supporting business development, shaping service offerings or contributing to growth strategies would be advantageous.

A relevant degree in Human Factors, ergonomics, psychology or a related discipline is required. Professional recognition (e.g. CIEHF membership) is desirable.
