Job Description

Fancy working on a Power Station on the UK's largest construction site? Hinkley Point C is underway, and our client (a major player & contractor in the nuclear industry) is looking for a Layout Engineer to work on a staff basis.

The activities, to be carried out as part of the service, will be performed within the HPC site engineering office (JDO, Joint Design Office) located on HPC site. The activities will be done as part of the Layout Team, which supports the construction of two EPRs on HPC by providing engineering support regarding the plant's design.

Responsibilities:

1. Assessing if the site request impacts layout, assessing requests from the site that may impact layout, gathering inputs, and assessing and listing the impacts of site changes on all disciplines and contractors.
2. Producing technical assessments and solutions, with supporting justification—3D models, installation tolerances, introduction notes, interfaces, ensuring the design intent, updating deliverables produced by the RD Back-Office if needed, proposing 3D model modifications (with CAD designer support).
3. Liaising with other disciplines (HVAC, Piping, Civil, Equipment, Electrical), with design RD Back-Offices, and with the NNB Construction Team and installation contractors.
4. Opening the dedicated change process to implement the impacts.

Requirements:

• Qualified to Degree Level with several years of experience.
• Experience in previous EPR or other nuclear projects.
• Good knowledge of 3D design software (Navisworks), experience with 3D model visualization for layout analysis, and understanding of general layout and installation rules.
• Knowledge of the operation of nuclear power stations and associated safety aspects (nuclear safety, flooding, fire, radiological protection, high energy line ruptures, etc.).

Desirable:

• Experience in nuclear site engineering, plant layout engineering, UK design context, regulatory processes, and HPC.
