Great place to work

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Great place to work, lovely colleagues and supportive management. Provided a great work-life balance, good hourly pay and annual leave allowance. Was very sad to leave, but over the duration of 2 years, my contract was renewed every 6 months and the uncertainty of not having a job was very stressful.

Pros

Early finish on Fridays, good pay, nice colleagues and supportive management

Cons

Every 6 months contract would be renewed, so no job security which was very stressful

People are the greatest asset

People are the greatest asset at Magnox without a doubt. The role is varied and you can either really challenge yourself, or not. You really have the potential shine in this organisation. The company are leading the way in nuclear cleanup of their 12 Sites in the the UK with safety of people and the environment always at the forefront. Pay across two sites should align with the other ten and management are aware.

Involved in another round of Compulsory Redundancies

Hard work but well rewarded. Another day of Redundancies. Management are approachable. Holidays and benefits are good. Most enjoyable part of job is working with the people that are in my team.

Dynamic site programme at Bradwell not replicated across the wider estate

Magnox is an excellent company to work for with safe delivery and care for its workers being the top priority. The Nuclear decommissioning industry is currently in something of a state of flux owing to the very poor contract award for the Parent Body Organisation. With a new executive structure due to take charge in 2019, the priority must be on the effectiveness of current site plans which, as they stand are unaffordable and undeliverable; as well as the strategic coordination and accountability for the delivery of those plans and the communication of them to the wider workforce such that it is understood which elements are critical for overall delivery. The delivery of Bradwell into its decommissioned state has been described as a “monumental accomplishment”, and the industry has not thus far done a good job in learning the lessons from its delivery.

Pros

Good work life understanding

Productive; Challenging

A Typical Day at work, would best be described as' spinning plates' in a very controlled manor. Everyday in this industry is a school day, and at times it feels like it is constant flux. Managing Subcontract labour is common on these construction sites. The most Challenging part of the work is trying to line up all the ducks to try to deliver on time. The most enjoyable is when you hit a long term goal.
