Mechanical Calculation Engineer (JDO)
Non fixed term
Framatome is a major international player in the nuclear energy market recognised for its innovative solutions and value-added technologies for designing, building, maintaining, and advancing the global nuclear fleet. The company designs, manufactures, and installs components, fuel and instrumentation and control systems for nuclear power plants and offers a full range of reactor services.
EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) is a subsidiary of Edvance, which is a joint venture between EDF and Framatome, established in 2018 in charge of the design and the realisation of nuclear islands for new projects in France and worldwide.
In particular, EDF EPR Engineering UK is responsible for the design and construction of the nuclear island for Hinkley Point C (HPC) project and preparing the design replication and engineering activities for the Sizewell C (SZC) Project.
At HPC we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.
For the SZC Project, work on the replication strategy and some early design studies are already underway and being delivered and managed from both France and UK.
We are looking to recruit for the role of JDO Mechanical Calculation Engineer.
The position of Mechanical Engineer Engineer aims at supporting the field design activities for the piping discipline. It will lead to handle different interfaces with several disciplines and solve piping engineering topics raised during on-site installation of pipework and associated supports. The main tasks will be the following:
· Gathering input data, analysing/updating hypothesis notes, and preparing loading description reports.
· Engaging with various stakeholders (installation contractors, CW interfaces, other disciplines) to clarify issues.
· Performing mechanical stress analyses: piping flexibility calculations, piping supports calculations, FEA calculations or any analysis required to resolve encountered issues.
· Proposing appropriate and proportionate modifications if sizing criteria are not met.
· Doing hand calculations and running anchorages macros to assess the feasibility of modification.
· Checking calculation notes and guide drawings subcontracted to external companies.
· Maintaining Edvance’s QA procedures in delivering the design.
· Working with CAD designers/detailers in the preparation of the design drawings.
Key relationships:
The employee will be highly interacting with the discipline manager to support them in the organization of the team. They will be in charge of interacting with the different stakeholders to ensure the closure of site queries in compliance with the HPC project milestones.
