Context Nuclear medicine has evolved considerably over recent years with the emergence of radiotheranostics, a modality which combines targeted diagnosis and therapy with radio-isotopes. One of the main challenges to making this therapeutic solution accessible for the greatest number of patients is ensuring the availability of high-quality Actinium-225 in large quantities. In this context, PanTera is looking for a talented and experienced radioactive waste characterization engineer to develop, structure and continuously improve the radioactive waste management strategy of PanTera.
Developing and maintaining PanTera’s radioactive waste management strategy for sorting, packaging, characterization, interim storage and transport of radioactive waste in line with applicable regulations and best practices.
Define and specify radioactive waste infrastructure (hot cells, gloveboxes, storage, measurement areas) and oversee its design, procurement, commissioning and safe operation.
Selecting, specifying, procuring, commissioning, and validating all measurement and characterization equipment.
Interpreting and validating measurement data from gamma spectrometry, alfa spectrometry and other radiological techniques to ensure data quality and regulatory compliance.
Creating and implementing the complete set of SOPs for radioactive waste management, from characterization and measurement to handling, storage and transport ensuring compliance with regulatory and quality standards.
Leading the preparation and submission of all waste-related licensing and regulatory applications to the competent authorities.
Establish and maintain a radioactive waste accounting system, ensuring traceability, documentation and regulatory reporting of all waste streams.
Training and coaching staff on proper radioactive waste handling and measurement practices.
Master’s degree in Industrial Sciences with a focus on Nuclear Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Experience with radiological characterization techniques is a strong asset.
Good oral and written communication skills in Dutch & English
Creative with your approach to your work and thrive on bringing positive energy to your work
A very committed person ready to inspire and be part of a team to move forward
