Client: Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
Role: Non-Executive Director (with shipping expertise), Nuclear Transport Solutions
Salary: Remunerated
Time Commitment: 20-25 days per annum
Location: Board Meeting are held predominantly in the North West of England

The NDA’s clean-up and decommissioning mission relies on the safe transport of materials to, from and between our sites. In 2021 we brought our extensive transport and logistics capabilities together to create Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS) - the leading global provider of safe, secure and reliable nuclear transport solutions. As well as supporting the NDA’s mission, NTS also uses its world-leading expertise to deliver commercial activities for a range of customers in the UK and overseas and provides transport services outside of the nuclear sector.

We are seeking to appoint a new non-executive director for the Board of NTS as it continues to set the strategic framework and direction for operations, in alignment with the NDA’s strategy. With significant experience in shipping, this new Board member will use their expertise to help shape and support the development, identification, and delivery of new business opportunities in a commercial environment. They will set the expectation and pace for growth and improvement in this area of transport, providing effective support and constructive challenge to the executive team in an evolving context. Further to this, they will represent the organisation to stakeholders, customers, suppliers, Government, and regulators and the communities in which the NTS operates.

Candidates will have undertaken senior position(s) in shipping in an operations and/or sales & marketing role(s). This is an essential requirement given the role of the Board in supporting the organisational strategy. Experience of shipping in a nuclear or dangerous goods capacity is highly desirable, but not essential.
NTS values the unique differences that each of our colleagues bring to work every day and are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels respected, included and able to perform at their best. NTS is committed to creating a workplace that is diverse and inclusive, and we therefore particularly welcome applications from women, BAME, LGBT+ and disabled candidates. We are happy to talk about flexible working.
