What we are looking for
Uniper has in its Swedish portfolio four nuclear plants at the sites at OKG and BKAB that are being decommissioned. To serve the growing European market of nuclear dismantling and decommission, Uniper, in cooperation with Fortum, are building capacity and capability to provide experienced service to which the Swedish project, among others, will serve as a reference.
We are looking for radiophysicists to support us with dismantling and decommissioning of nuclear facilities at OKG and BKAB. We are executing the NDD in close cooperation with our customers as we all have the same goal, to finalize the project in accordance with the requirements and expectations. This means that we work together as one team. We have high focus on delivery and expect high performance and transparent communication on risks.
Safety, both conventional HSE and radiological safety is highly valued and expected to be part of the planning of the execution of the work packages.
