• Support or act as the engineering member of the test and authorisation groups (depending on experience)

• Specialise in EC&I discipline

• Author Chief Engineer Declaration Statements based on engineering review of the as-built/as-tested status of the plant to support entry into nuclear build phase

• Carry out nuclear safety assessment of submarine design changes and deviations from the submarine design intent

• Ensuring the design intent of the Naval Reactor Plant is maintained during build and text activities on site

• Providing technical rationale and sound engineering recommendations to Rolls-Royce and MoD to challenge existing requirements

• Proving an interface with Build/Test teams for engineering solutions

• Enabling efficient programme execution with engineering solutions, As a Principal Engineer – Nuclear (EC&I), you will be supporting the design, build and test activities on the Naval Reactor Plant (NRP) across multiple programmes to ensure the design intent is met in the final product. This includes coordinating and leading the resolution of a diverse set of issues that arise during the build and test of the reactor plant, with a strong emphasis on developing technical solutions to problems, as well as ensuring that the associated safety case is adequate, couple with providing advice to various internal teams such as Engineering Delivery, Test & Commissioning, Operations and Project. Externally, you will be required to represent the business and operate alongside our Enterprise partners, namely the Ministry of Defence (Mod) and Rolls-Royce Marine Power. We offer relocation support packages across all Submarine roles, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
