The Opportunity

As a Complex Structural Integrity (SI) Engineer within Critical Technical Programmes (CTP), you'll play a pivotal role in supporting Hinkley Point C's (HPC) licensing journey, ensuring the safe & effective delivery the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in Britain providing zero-carbon electricity for around six million homes.

As part of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) regulatory process the ONR raised a series of Assessment Findings (AF) that HPC is addressing. One such assessment finding is GDAF-SI-37 stating that the Licensee shall ensure that the site specific "Stress reports" confirm the adequacy of the design.

Within HPC, this is currently achieved through delivery of a series of documents from various stakeholders called “Stress Reports", these documents demonstrate the mechanical integrity of primary circuit & secondary circuit components & contain evidence that systems & components meet necessary design code requirements for HPC, for all transients and loads included in the design basis. However, as the HPC design evolves it is necessary for HPC to regularly review & perform necessary modifications to the documents to ensure they reflect the as-built plant and loading conditions.

To support closure of GDAF-SI-37, and, to ensure pressure compliance, the Complex SI team is seeking support for the team developing the Post-RC2 Stress Report strategy. The outcome of this work will enable HPC to demonstrate the detailed substantiation of the plant design from a structural analysis perspective as is required to support claims made in the safety case.

Who Are You

We're looking for an individual with strong communication skills, a questioning attitude and who is capable of developing quality trusted relationships with stakeholders to support development and delivery of Complex SI team's Stress Report Strategy. The ideal candidate will have the following experience:

• Ideally experience working on HPC project, or with EDF Energy. If not, experience working with multi-disciplinary teams within complex engineering environments either within nuclear or other highly regulated spaces;
• Engineering or Science background with an interest in Project Engineering or Project Management;
• Demonstrates Effective “context” leadership skills, developing understandings for new topics at pace to coordinate without being lost in the detail;
• Prior experience with configuration management;
• Track record of engagement in fast-paced and rapidly evolving topic;
• Pragmatic thinker with good listening skills, able to hear the input of many individuals and distil solutions that best fit the collective needs of teams across the project; and,
• Critical thinker who can identify novel ways to resolve longstanding issues.

What You'll Be Doing

The successful candidate will work closely with the Stress Reports Task Force Lead, taking responsibility for varied tasks such as:

• Leading one or more workstreams - working with a multi-disciplinary team to coordinate the delivery of specific outcomes
• Supporting the Task Force Lead with activities such as tracking of actions, minuting meetings, collating data in spreadsheets, preparing presentations for meetings, creating project Gantt charts and chasing progress on actions.
• Being an important part of a multi-disciplinary team with opportunities to take on increasing responsibilities as and when appropriate and if the opportunity arises.
