PART TIME Principal PES Engineer

Looking for a Part Time Principal PES Engineer to be based at Sellafield (other SL location will be considered) to support the Security and Resilience (S&R) Portfolio on the ERMRS project. This is initially a 12 month contract role inside IR35 with rates from £65ph+. SC clearance is required for this role.

ROLE OVERVIEW: The ERMRS project has been initiated to replace the existing SPMS (Site Perimeter Monitoring System) and SEMPS (Site Emergency Monitoring Point systems). The ERMMS system will consist of 41 outstations on the Sellafield site, 29 around the perimeter of the site and 12 within the site. These outstations will monitor the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Airborne Radiation and transmit the data back to the SECCs (Site Emergency Control Centres) onto a CCS (Central Computer System) for the emergency management teams to monitor and manage any incidents that may occur. Project scope is to fully replace the outstations group, Slab, Building and internal system and services. This role provides Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineering (strong PES bias) capability across several projects in support of aging Sellafield site facilities. The work ranges from asset care replacement and assessment in existing facilities to provision of new equipment and design of new facilities to replace existing functionality. The work being undertaken is critical to maintaining the ongoing safe and secure operations on the Sellafield site.
