Project Overview: The Project involves modifications to an existing facility in order to re-cylinder and remove contaminants from aging cylinders containing legacy tails. In addition, the scope includes a new decay store, cross site cylinder transport and management of multiple interfaces with existing site services. The project is located on a Nuclear site in Capenhurst, Cheshire (UK). The Project scope initially includes design optioneering and production of a concept design. Subject to successful completion of concept design, there is the potential to manage the delivery of Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and for a follow-on EPCM contract to be awarded. The successful candidate will be seconded into the client organisation and work as part of an integrated team. The design will be executed by both the client and by a consultant organisation who are experienced in the design and management of risk, safety cases and permissioning of UK Nuclear facilities. The project team is primarily based at the Capenhurst Site in Cheshire. However, travel to the project office location in Warrington, Cheshire will also be required. Flexibility in work location includes a minimum of three days per week working from either the Capenhurst or Warrington offices. Candidates will have or must be able to obtain an SC security clearance.
