• Facilitate integration between reactor and barge systems to ensure geometric & manufacturing feasibility.
• Support the continuous improvement of the Mechanical Engineering function, including processes and tools.
• Perform mechanical design activities across the plant including design by rule and ideally design by analysis (finite element analysis).
• Guidance & supervision of CAD users for producing detailed technical drawings.

PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 10 years’ experience designing mechanical systems and components in the nuclear or thermal power generation field.
• Knowledge of codes and standards such as ASME.III.Div1 and ASME.VIII.Div1 & Div2.
