A new opportunity has arisen within the Joint Design Office (JDO) for a motivated Mechanical & Electrical Engineer to support the Review and Acceptance (R&A) branch, focusing on design activities of a classified plant. This role involves working in a dynamic, multidisciplinary design team, undertaking the intelligent customer role on behalf of the HPC project.

As the technical lead, you will review and accept design changes proposed by site contractors, ensuring they are justified by the designer. You will manage interfaces between construction contractors and designers, working closely with NNB’s Delivery Directorate and the Construction Team on site. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and dynamic working environment.

That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will understand the design and operational aspects of the plant’s systems and their role within the nuclear and environmental safety cases. You will provide oversight to ensure Nuclear Safety and Environmental Regulation requirements are met, and offer input and approval for non-conformances and design changes during construction.

You will work independently to meet internal customer needs, maintaining strong relationships with EDF Engineering (Responsible Designer) and regulatory bodies. Additionally, you will coordinate support from external organisations and interface with the Regulator to support the proposed electrical system design.

Who You Are

You hold a degree or higher in a relevant discipline and are a registered member of a professional institute or have qualifications and experience suitable for membership. You have experience in highly regulated environments such as nuclear, aircraft, or petrochemical industries, and in the design and maintenance of heavy mechanical power generation equipment.

Your background includes developing mechanical-related safety cases and liaising with regulatory bodies like the HSE Nuclear Directorate. You possess excellent organisational skills, an understanding of Quality Assurance in regulated environments, and decision-making capabilities for resolving safety case issues. Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with internal and external stakeholders are essential. The ability to speak French is desirable but not essential.
