Specialist recruitment
Nuclear And Defence Safety Officer Recruitment
Coyle places nuclear-specialist safety officers and defence-cleared HSE managers into the projects most generalist agencies cannot reach. Every officer we propose carries documented chartered or degree-level credentials, the security vetting your framework requires, and prior experience working under CDM 2015 and the defence-specific safety frameworks layered on top.
The officer arrives with the project-specific RAMS, Method Statements, and Lift Plans your site needs, authored by our chartered team against your security posture and your duty-holder obligations. Nothing is pulled from a template library. Your safety policy chain and your CDM advisory cover run under the same chartered roof.
We guarantee 48-hour mobilisation in writing where your project's clearance allows. If the job needs a higher clearance than the officer holds today, we tell you upfront how long the extra vetting takes and send a chartered advisor from our HSE recruitment service to cover the gap until clearance comes through.
Why this work is different
Why Nuclear And Defence Work Needs A Different Safety Model
Five reasons the generalist HSE supplier model breaks down on a nuclear or defence project, and how a chartered, ISO 45001 function changes the risk picture.
-
Chartered author required on the file
Nuclear licensees and MoD principals expect a chartered safety professional to author and sign the safety documentation. A CMIOSH advisor leads every Coyle engagement.
-
Vetted personnel, not casual placements
Security clearance is a precondition for site access, not an optional extra. We supply officers at the vetting level your assignment requires and are transparent where higher clearance is needed.
-
Security-cleared documentation chain
Documents move only between cleared parties. We author, version, and hand over RAMS, Method Statements, and Lift Plans inside the controls your licence or framework imposes.
-
CDM 2015 plus defence-specific frameworks
CDM 2015 alone is not the standard. JSP 375, JSP 815, Site Licence Conditions, and the licensee's own safety case all sit on top. Our chartered advisors work to the full stack.
-
Evidence trail for the nuclear regulator
The Office for Nuclear Regulation in the UK, and comparable EU nuclear regulators, want a clear audit trail from author to duty-holder. We attach that trail to every document we issue.

Questions HSE managers ask
Nuclear And Defence Safety Questions Answered
Do you supply security-cleared safety officers for nuclear and defence projects?
Yes. We supply safety officers with the clearance level your assignment requires, from baseline pre-employment vetting up to SC, DV, and CTC where the framework calls for it. Each officer is industry-specific to high-stringency work, with chartered or degree-qualified credentials and documented competence under CDM 2015 and the defence-specific safety frameworks operating on the site.
Do your CDM advisors cover nuclear and defence statutory frameworks?
Yes. Our chartered CDM advisors work to CDM 2015 in Great Britain and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 in Ireland, alongside the defence-specific safety frameworks layered on top, including JSP 375, JSP 815, and Site Licence Condition expectations for nuclear-licensed projects. The chartered advisor authors the documentation chain and signs it.
What additional documentation does nuclear and defence construction need?
Nuclear and defence sites need project-specific RAMS, Method Statements, Lift Plans, and Construction Phase Plans authored against the security and stringency requirements of the licensed site, never pulled from a template library. We also produce competence and security-clearance evidence packs, regulator-ready records for the Office for Nuclear Regulator (ONR) or comparable European nuclear regulators, and a documented audit trail from author to duty-holder.
Can you mobilise in 48 hours for a defence project?
Where clearance allows, yes. Our 48-hour mobilisation is guaranteed in writing and applies to officers already at the required vetting level for the assignment. Where the project requires a higher clearance than the officer currently holds, we are transparent about the additional vetting lead time and supply interim chartered advisory while clearance progresses.
Who owns the safety documentation at the end of the engagement?
You do, in full. Every RAMS, Method Statement, Lift Plan, Construction Phase Plan, and policy document we author for your nuclear or defence project is your property from the moment it is issued. Each is authored by a chartered safety professional against your specific site conditions, security posture, and regulatory framework, with a full evidence trail attached for ONR or your defence duty-holder.
