The Nuclear Safety Department will have a vacancy for the position of Senior Programme Manager initially in charge of the Kozloduy International Decommissioning Support Fund (decommissioning support programme for Bulgaria, known as KIDSF) but available to assume similar responsibility for other NSD operations. This is a senior position, based in London with frequent travel to Bulgaria and, possibly, other countries of NSD operation.

- He/she will manage the day-to-day activities of the KIDSF, engaging the KIDSF Project Management Consultant in Sofia Resident Office and other NSD and EBRD colleagues as necessary and in a collegial fashion.
