• Align with the Technical Support Organisation (TSO) on licensing-related topics and coordinate responses to licensing queries.
• Contribute to securing and embedding licensing knowledge within the project organisation.
• Support the preparation of content for meetings with the regulator, ensuring well-founded and consistent communication.
• Provide advice and interpretations of regulatory requirements to project stakeholders.
• Assist in maintaining traceability of licensing commitments within project documentation and systems.

Within the licensing team, you will work closely with the workstream lead licensing, who is responsible for coordinating the work stream, aligning with the regulator and the development of the workstream and the licensing team.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Broad knowledge of nuclear licensing processes in Europe, including familiarity with IAEA, WENRA, and EUR requirements.
• Proven understanding of stakeholder management with nuclear regulators.
