About the Opportunity - PSA Nuclear Safety Case Engineer (Multiple Locations)

Are you ready to make a real impact in the nuclear industry? Our Safety Case Engineers are at the forefront of groundbreaking projects, working across civil nuclear and defence sectors, both in the UK and globally.

We're excited to hear from professionals with expertise in the application of PSA-related techniques in areas such as:

• Fault and event tree analysis
• Quantified risk and reliability assessments
• Reliability data assessment
• Hazard identification assessments
• Internal and external hazard evaluation, including dedicated Hazard PSA assessments (e.g., seismic, fire, flood)
• Statistical risk modeling
• System dependency analysis
• Transitioning into this field? We support your journey with comprehensive training and mentoring.

Take the next step in your career with Amentum, where innovation meets opportunity.

The key responsibilities for this role are:

• Delivering technical work to support demonstrating that a facility or system can be operated safely and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Liaising with clients to understand their challenges and develop solutions.
• Representing the business in technical meetings with clients, regulators, and other third parties.
• Helping to maintain the technical capability and knowledge of the team and mentoring junior members as appropriate.

• Good communication skills and ability to articulate information to a broad range of stakeholders.
• Chartered Member of a professional institute (or working towards Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status) with relevant professional body membership.
