Varese | Onsite | ⏱️ Full-time

We are growing our Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Management capability and are looking for a Radwaste Worksite Supervisor Assistant to support activities connected to a nuclear decommissioning programme in Ispra. The programme involves the safe decommissioning of nuclear installations and the management of associated radioactive waste.

The opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to one of the most relevant nuclear decommissioning programmes in Italy, supporting onsite activities related to radioactive waste management at the client site in Ispra.

This role is focused on the practical implementation of agreed technical solutions, worksite supervision and day-to-day support to onsite activities.

How You Will Make An Impact

Your work will support the correct management of radioactive waste generated by decommissioning activities, combining technical input, practical worksite supervision, documentation and daily coordination with project stakeholders.

• Support the implementation of agreed technical solutions for radioactive waste management onsite.
• Assist with worksite supervision, helping ensure activities are carried out in line with project requirements, safety expectations and agreed procedures.
• Apply nuclear safety, radiation protection and radioactive waste management principles in daily onsite activities.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, QA/QC records, status updates and supporting project materials.
• Provide daily updates to the Project Manager on onsite progress, technical issues, risks and next steps.
• Collaborate with client technical teams, WSP colleagues, contractors and other project stakeholders in a client-facing technical environment.

The team around you

You will be employed by WSP and work full-time on-site at the client site in Ispra, as part of a wider programme dedicated to nuclear decommissioning and waste management. You will collaborate closely with client technical stakeholders while remaining fully part of WSP, with ongoing internal support, coordination and access to wider technical expertise.

The working environment is technical, hands-on and client-facing, with activities taking place both in office settings and in the field. This is not only a client assignment: it is part of WSP’s growth in nuclear services, offering exposure to a specialized sector, international knowledge-sharing and the opportunity to contribute to safe, compliant and practical decommissioning work.

As some activities may be performed in classified areas, personnel assigned to this role will be designated as professionally exposed. This will be further discussed during the interview process.

We are looking for a technically solid professional with a nuclear background, hands-on mindset and the ability to work effectively in a regulated onsite environment.

• Master’s degree, preferably in Nuclear Engineering, or in Energy, Mechanical, Civil, Environmental Engineering or Physics with documented nuclear training.
• At least 5 years of relevant experience in radioactive waste management, nuclear activities or nuclear decommissioning.
• Knowledge of nuclear safety, radiation protection, radioactive waste classification and radioactive waste management.
• Availability to work full-time onsite in Ispra, with the ability to operate effectively in a client-facing technical environment.
• Fluency in English and Italian.
• Experience with MS Project or Primavera, Microsoft Office, STRIMS, technical documentation and QA/QC processes would be valuable.

We are looking for someone who wants to keep growing through complex, meaningful work and contribute to a specialized programme with practical onsite impact. You
