Your new company
If the following job requirements and experience match your skills, please ensure you apply promptly.
You will join a fast-growing, internationally established nuclear engineering organisation delivering complex, safety-critical energy projects. Working as part of a specialist safety and fire protection engineering team, you will be embedded within a major engineering client's programme and contribute to projects that will help shape the future of the UK energy sector.
The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with approximately monthly travel to Derby. The organisation generally works on a hybrid basis, although additional remote working flexibility may be available while supporting the current client contract.
Your new role
As Fire Safety Engineer, you will provide specialist fire engineering input throughout the design phases of complex nuclear projects. You will assess fire risks, review engineering designs and recommend practical fire prevention,detection and protection measures.
Your responsibilities will include:
Reviewing 3D engineering models to identify combustible materials and potential fire risks.
Completing fire simulation studies using MAGIC software to predict temperature changes during fire scenarios.
Reviewing and incorporating design changes from multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Developing fire protection strategies, including building zoning and suitable detection and firefighting systems.
Producing fire protection calculations and recommending effective fire safety solutions.
Applying relevant nuclear fire codes and technical standards throughout the design process.
What you'll need to succeed

Knowledge of nuclear fire codes and fire protection requirements.
Understanding of UK, European or US fire regulations, ideally including BS 9999.
Experience completing fire protection calculations and developing detection and suppression solutions.
A recognised fire safety qualification, such as NEBOSH.
Experience with MAGIC software and knowledge of the EPR Technical Code for Fire would be advantageous.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
A master's degree in fire engineering is not essential where you can demonstrate the required nuclear knowledge and design-phase experience. Please note, the organisation are unable to offer sponsorship for this position. xsabvtc
