Job description

Join us in developing the zero-emission energy solutions of the future!

We firmly believe that nuclear power will be a major part of the solution for future zero-emission maritime propulsion systems. The team realizing this ambition is being created now. Do you want to be a part of it ?

Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the position:

We are looking for you to be part of a growing team of motivated colleagues to develop, test and build our maritime Gen IV nuclear power systems to power future ships. You will contribute to build the first prototype of a complete marine nuclear power system based on our gas-cooled reactor technology. A significant part of the work is preparing, producing, testing and improving the different components in the system, while at the same time building the complete power system test rig and demonstrating this in a moving environment. We are looking for a strong personal interest in the topic and a drive to create safe and sustainable solutions for tomorrow. You will report to the Head of Engineering & Testing – Norway.

Responsibilities:

• Creating, testing and improving reactor system parts and solutions


• Design and build test environments for different parts.

It`s time to build!

Its time to build!Emerald Nuclear Norway AS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerald Nuclear Inc., a maritime nuclear energy company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Located in Ålesund, Norway, the company aims to lead market development, engineering, testing, and commerzialisation of maritime nuclear energy systems. Lately there has been a fundamental shift in attitudes toward nuclear energy and its role in the decarbonization of the maritime industry. Nuclear energy has the potential to provide a commercially viable zero-emission alternative to fossil fuels, while delivering the energy efficiency, endurance, and operational reliability required by the maritime market.We place the highest focus on the safety, security and safeguards in order to protect people, ships, communities, and the environment throughout the entire lifecycle of the ship and its nuclear energy system. Our objective is clear: to enable the deployment of the first commercial nuclear-powered offshore demonstration vessel on the Norwegian Continental Shelf by 2031.
