KEY RESPONSIBILITIES for the Electrical Engineer

• Author, develop, assess, maintain, and manage a suite of nuclear infrastructure design substantiation documents.
• Author, assess, and manage design changes and concessions across the project lifecycle.
• Present design substantiation materials to internal nuclear safety and due-process committees.
• Produce and develop Examination, Inspection, Maintenance & Testing (EIMT) schedules, operating procedures, and results to support design intent and safety case requirements throughout asset life.
• Produce and/or assess Periodic Review of Safety (PRS) reports.
• Provide technical advice and direction to internal and external stakeholders, including engineering, safety, and project delivery teams.
• Develop scopes of work for Independent Technical Assessments (ITA) and Independent Peer Reviews (IPR).
• Apply a combination of general and specialist engineering knowledge to utilise existing and emerging technologies.
• Apply appropriate theoretical and practical engineering methods across design, development, manufacture, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, decommissioning, and recycling of systems and assets within a nuclear or high-risk setting.
• Produce robust technical justifications to support the authorisation of electrical design modifications within a high-hazard industry.
• Review technical reports and safety case submissions produced by external contractors.
• Check and review calculations and technical documents produced by other engineering staff.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS for the Electrical Engineer

Experience (Essential)

• Experienced Electrical Engineer with knowledge of industrial plant and machinery in both HV and LV environments (e.g., pumps, generators, lightning protection, control systems).
• Strong understanding of current design standards and working practices, including British and European Standards.
• Theoretical and practical experience across concept design, detailed design, and construction stages for electrical engineering projects, ideally within industrial and/or maritime environments.
• Experience assessing electrical plant and equipment for hazard withstand capability.
• Demonstrated capability in authoring robust technical justifications and supporting documentation to enable approval of electrical design modifications within a high-hazard industry.
• Experience working on multi-discipline engineering projects and providing integrated electrical engineering input.

Experience (Desirable)

• Prior experience within nuclear, defence, or comparable high-hazard regulated environments.
• Familiarity with safety case development tools and methodologies (e.g., HAZID, HAZOP).
• Experience within the UK nuclear industry (civil or defence), particularly in the design and assessment of safety-related structures, systems, and components.
• Knowledge of UK and US nuclear regulatory frameworks and associated nuclear-specific codes and standards.
