Locations: Hybrid working with one of the following locations as your primary base: Derby, Warrington or Manchester.

The Business

Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology provides a British solution to a global energy challenge. We are positioned to become a world leader in SMRs and the UK’s premier green export capability, shaping the future of low‑carbon power. That makes this more than a job — it’s a chance to contribute to a once‑in‑a‑generation engineering programme and to leave a lasting legacy.

The Team

The Power Station Integration team brings together the functional design of the entire RR SMR power station. By integrating the product‑level architecture, defining key performance attributes and undertaking detailed optioneering, the team ensures the overall plant meets its top‑level safety, performance and customer requirements. This team works at the centre of the engineering programme, connecting systems, functions and disciplines to deliver a cohesive, optimised and compliant power station design.
