• Experience within the nuclear industry, and specifically reactor components, is preferred.
• Chartered Engineer or working towards it.
  Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we’ll let you in on a secret: there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.

JOB PURPOSE:

The Component Integration Engineer / Lead will define and develop ways of working within the component development teams and ensure their effective implementation. This also provides opportunities to provide technical input across the different commodity areas and coordinate regulatory engagement through the Mechanical Engineering topic area. This is a broad scope of work with flexibility to proactively identify and implement improvements across the team and demands skills to work broadly across several areas.
This will be delivered through a combination of direct contribution (Engineer role) or through the combination of direct contribution and leadership through delegation and supervision of work packages into the wider team with a more strategic view (Lead Role). The candidate will be assessed for their ability to meet either or both roles through the application process.

ENGINEER ROLE:

Develop a coherent approach to the generation and documentation of component requirements, evidence, definitions and verification, such that a golden thread is provided through the data and safety case and provide a single source of truth for all product data and attribution.
Development of management system processes, guidance and templates for the component development team
Manage the “Transverse Requirements” which are applied to multiple components or groups of components. Leverage relationships with different functional areas to ensure those requirements are technically appropriate and effective.
Ensure consistent implementation of the ways of working by developing relationships across the component teams and using a combination of guidance, training, oversight and governance.
Deliver a successful GDA Step 3 for Mechanical Engineering by coordinating submissions and ensuring technical consistency between them, providing an interface with the regulators as required. Build a effective working relationship with regulators through collaboration.
Ensure an optimal level of standardisation is employed at all levels in the designs including setting appropriate requirements for components sourced from the supply chain.
Generate creative solutions to challenges, based on a balance and trade off the project drivers, technical and non-technical requirements.
The cross-component team, in which this role will sit, is a pivotal part of the product development, ensuring consistency, standardisation and efficiency across all product development programmes.
Identify and mitigate risks and opportunities in a proactive manner.
Represent the component team and SMR programme on the global stage.

LEAD ROLE:

• As above, with a greater level of autonomy and ownership,
• Plus provide technical leadership, generate, and manage programmes, costs & risks.

PLANNING, COORDINATION AND TEAMWORK (LEAD ROLE):

• Experience with planning, scheduling, and coordinating your own work and that of others.
• Experience of leading and mentoring others, assuming a technical lead role over others both internally and externally to the team.
• Ability to handle projects that have a high level of ambiguity, with ability to control and provide direction to resolve this ambiguity.
