• Fire system design documentation, including specifications, P&IDs, equipment lists, and calculations for equipment sizing.
• Create solid plans for the design of fire safety systems and ensure that all project deliverables are completed on schedule, within budget, and with quality consistent with progress reports.
• Maintain quality throughout the project lifecycle by participating in technical reviews and providing necessary inputs for project review gates.
• Oversee technical interfaces with key stakeholders in areas such as HVAC, layout, systems integration, control and instrumentation, and safety to ensure cohesive technical solutions.

• Ability to identify and explain legislative shortcomings and deviations.
• Knowledge of the nuclear industry domain.
• Experience in describing a work program or project.
• Ability to meet program objectives and budget constraints by delivering benchmarks on time.

Desired Skills:

• Good communication skills in English (oral & written) & interpersonal skills.
• Customer focus with the ability to build and develop relationships with customers and suppliers.
• Organizational agility.
• Problem-solving ability.
• Logical thinking.
• Effective time management.
