Job Description

Safety Case Engineer - Submarines

Full Time

Thurso, Scotland (Relocation Available)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Safety Case Engineer to join Rolls-Royce Submarines in Thurso. As the Safety Case Engineer, you will work as part of a team of site safety case practitioners supporting safety case owners and assurance staff reporting to the Vulcan Chief Engineer.

Thurso is situated in the historical county of Caithness and is the northernmost town in the UK where we have successfully operated and managed the Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment for the last 50 years on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. The site is currently delivering against significant programmes of work, which provides an excellent opportunity to develop and gain experience in the nuclear industry.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.

What we offer:

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance, and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It's a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum, we're all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

You will prepare and review safety cases forming an approved safe working envelope for the nuclear facilities and key site programmes.

1. Prepare and review changes to the site safety management arrangements, ensuring relevant safety case and regulatory compliance.
2. Ensure safety implications are fully considered and changes are appropriately detailed and approved through site due process.
3. Ensure outputs are optimised to comply with the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle.
4. Provide practical and technical advice on the application, implementation and limitations of applicable site safety management arrangements, facility and process safety cases taking account of enterprise and industry best practice.
5. Perform activities in accordance with site safety management arrangements.

Who we're looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

1. Good understanding and demonstrable experience of safety case production, development and review. Including the use of hazard identification and assessment techniques.
2. Experience working in the nuclear industry or other well-regulated environment is essential.
3. Strong project management capabilities and the ability to work as part of an integrated project team to agreed programmes.
4. Degree qualified in an engineering or science-based subject or relevant industry experience.
5. Professional registration through a recognised institute is desirable.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We're committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.

We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.

To work for the Rolls-Royce Submarines business an individual has to hold a Security Check clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you do not currently already have this in place.

Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.
