Industrial Relations Advisor

• Previous experience working within the Sellafield environment ideally including a sound knowledge of NAECI and CIJC.

• Strong knowledge and practical experience of Industrial Relations and Employee Relations.

• Experience working within a highly unionised environment and engaging directly with Trade Union representatives.

• Experience supporting operational teams and/or major project delivery organisations.

• Strong communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.

• Ability to work effectively across multiple stakeholders, including contractors, Joint Ventures and supply chain partners.

• A pragmatic, resilient and solutions-focused approach.

We are seeking a confident and experienced Industrial Relations Advisor to support the delivery of effective Industrial and Employee Relations across Sellafield's operational and project environments.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being at the heart of the business, building relationships, resolving issues, and working closely with managers, trade unions, contractors and Joint Venture partners. You'll be a visible presence across the site, providing practical advice and support that helps maintain a positive industrial relations climate in a highly regulated and unionised environment.

This is not a strategic HR role. We are looking for a proactive, credible practitioner who can roll their sleeves up, engage with stakeholders at all levels, and deliver outcomes.

• Providing day-to-day Industrial Relations and Employee Relations support across Operations and Project delivery organisations within our craft delivery.

• Building and maintaining effective working relationships with recognised Trade Union representatives.

• Supporting managers with disciplinary, grievance, conduct, attendance and capability matters for our NAECI and CIJC employees.

• Attending and supporting consultation meetings, hearings and employee engagement forums.

• Working collaboratively across with Joint Ventures and Major Projects, with other contractor organisations to manage workforce issues and maintain productive working relationships.

• Providing practical advice on the application of site agreements, policies and procedures.

• Supporting organisational change, project mobilisation and workforce interventions where industrial relations considerations are critical.

• Identifying emerging workforce issues and resolving concerns before they escalate.

You'll be known as a trusted advisor who can successfully operate across complex stakeholder groups, build credibility with unions and management alike, and help create a stable and productive industrial relations environment that supports both operational delivery and major project success.

We're looking for a doer-someone who is confident, approachable and comfortable having honest conversations in challenging situations. You'll enjoy being visible, building relationships across the workforce, and working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
