Nuclear Restoration Services has appointed Dave Wilson as
managing director of its Dounreay division.
He joins from AtkinsRealis, where he was market director and
delivery lead for its nuclear decommissioning and waste services
business, and officially takes up the post today (18 November),
succeeding John Grierson who has served as interim MD since May.
NRS CEO Rob Fletcher said:
I am very pleased that Dave Wilson has agreed to join the team at
Dounreay. Dave has deep experience in decommissioning. He
joined the industry as a graduate at Sellafield and has worked as
site director at Chapelcross and Trawsfynydd. His last post at
Magnox was chief operations officer, Scotland and Wales. Dave has
experience across such a range of research and generating
decommissioning challenges and also brings new perspectives and
experiences from Atkins.
John Grierson has done a fantastic job at Dounreay and I want to
thank him for his work over the last few months.
Dave Wilson said:
I am excited to be joining the Dounreay team and contributing to
delivering a nationally important mission. I look forward to
becoming a part of a community and my first priority will be to
meet as many people as possible, including stakeholders and
community leaders, and get up to speed on the critical programmes
we will be delivering. We have some complex challenges but also
great opportunities to deploy innovative solutions to move
forward with delivering the mission. It's an exciting time as we
launch our new 10-year strategy and really begin to see the
benefits of working together as NRS.
John Grierson said:
I am very happy to have had the opportunity to have been part of
the Dounreay team and work with such excellent people. I am proud
of everything we have achieved together and I know David will
continue to develop Dounreay as a great place to work delivering
against our nationally important mission. There is so much I have
learned that I will be taking back to other NRS sites and I hope
I have shared learning from the other sites that can be used at
Dounreay and helped build some networks across the delivery
businesses.
