The Role: Senior Nuclear Safety Engineer, Advanced Engineering Delivery & Consultancy (AEDC)

- Provide safety case leadership, support and delivery.
- Collaborate closely with clients to develop and implement solutions for their most complex problems.

You’ll be involved in all aspects of safety case support, including:
- Shaping the nuclear safety case strategy.
- Working closely with project partners to ensure a safety-informed design.
- Engaging with stakeholders (including designers, clients, site teams, and regulatory bodies such as DNSRB and ONR) to enable ‘Right First Time’ delivery.
- Undertaking safety assessments and analyses (e.g., HAZID, HAZOP, FMEA, HAZAN).
- Producing safety reports and technical documents (e.g., PSR, PCSR, ALARP reports).
- Supporting Engineering Substantiation activities.
- Managing/leading Safety Case activities and teams.
