What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll coordinate a team of system engineers to ensure project priorities are met and technical standards are upheld. You'll oversee and perform technical checks on the design and documentation of fluid systems, resolving open points and managing design changes.


You'll also contribute to the Sizewell C replication strategy, analysing impacts from design evolution and procurement changes, and overseeing the production of deliverables for SZC.


Reporting operationally to the System Group Lead and functionally to the Fluid & HVAC Systems discipline manager, you'll occasionally travel to France and Germany to collaborate with international teams.

Who you are

You'll hold a degree in Mechanical or Process Engineering or an equivalent qualification, with extensive experience in process engineering or supporting the nuclear operating fleet.
