Security Guard

Security at a nuclear site is a little different from your typical security role.

At Oldbury, you'll join a close-knit security team responsible for protecting people, facilities and site operations as the station continues its journey through nuclear decommissioning. Working 12-hour day and night shifts across a five-week rota, averaging 37 hours per week, you'll be trusted to make decisions, support visitors, respond to incidents and help keep a nationally important site operating safely and securely every day.

Working within a highly regulated environment, you'll play a key role in maintaining site security while providing a professional and welcoming experience for employees, contractors and visitors. It's a position that offers genuine responsibility, variety and the opportunity to build valuable experience within the nuclear industry.

What Will You Be Doing?

No two days are quite the same at Oldbury. One shift you could be welcoming visitors, issuing passes and helping contractors navigate the site. The next, you could be responding to alarms, monitoring security systems or carrying out patrols across station facilities. Throughout it all, you'll help create a safe, secure and professional environment for everyone who works on, or visits, the site.

You'll also be a visible representative of Oldbury. Whether you're supporting emergency responders, assisting visitors or responding to unexpected situations, you'll be relied upon to remain calm, professional and approachable while maintaining security standards at all times.

  • Maintain high security and compliance standards
  • Provide a professional front-line site presence
  • Support the safe running of daily operations

Who Are We Looking For?

We're looking for someone who takes pride in doing things properly, communicates confidently with people from all backgrounds and can remain composed when situations become challenging. You'll hold an NQF Level 1 qualification or equivalent relevant experience and be comfortable using IT systems as part of your day-to-day role.

Previous security experience would be beneficial, but it isn't essential. We're equally interested in people who can demonstrate professionalism, sound judgement, strong customer service skills and a willingness to learn. Full training will be provided to help you become a Suitable Qualified Experienced Person (SQEP), so attitude and potential are just as important as previous experience.

  • Calm and confident under pressure
  • Committed to excellent customer service
  • Eager to learn and develop new skills
