• Modelling and analysing the impact of hazards on overall plant safety - primarily focussing fire and explosion
• Developing and authoring relevant sections of the nuclear safety case
• Monitoring design changes arising from suppliers and construction activities
• Developing solutions to issues identified, making recommendations, and pursuing through to closure
• Defining requirements in line with fire regulations
• Supporting the close out of design configuration issues (Open Points, Design Changes etc).
• Assess and, where applicable, ensure implementation of Referential and Design Changes generated through the Configuration Management Board process.
• Progress reporting to Engineering Manager.
• Any other specific duties that the Engineering Manager discharges to the Project Engineering Lead.
• Supporting definition of requirements related to fire standards and ensuring that an industrialised approach can be achieved to support construction activities
• Support closeout of open points related to requirements
• Progress reporting to the Engineering Manager

Experience Required

• Experience in design principles in modern high hazard industry
• Experience in application of UK and international Fire codes and standards
• An appetite for developing practical solutions to problems and following through to completion
• Ability to work independently, to plan and manage design reviews and work directly with the designers.
• Evidence of continuing professional development
• An ability to think laterally and flexibly to deliver solutions, and a ‘process driven’ focus to delivery
• An ability to reach sensible compromise positions. 
• Experience of construction of large multi-discipline projects, understanding of engineering design delivery, understanding of cross-discipline relationships, interfaces and coordination. 
• Experience in structuring and authoring UK nuclear safety cases, including application of ALARP principles
• Experience of systematic hazard analysis on plant important to safety
• Knowledge of Pressurised Water Reactor and EPR design
• Experience in working on the development of fire systems for buildings and asset protection, passive fire protection and commissioning.

Qualifications Needed

• Degree-level or equivalent qualification in engineering or scientific field
• Chartered Member of the Institute of Fire Engineers
• Application of fire and internal explosion modelling methods (e.g. CFAST FDS FLACS)
