Shape the Future of the UK's Nuclear Fuel Cycle
We're recruiting three experienced Senior Process Engineers to join a high-profile programme supporting the UK's Reprocessed Uranium (RepU) project. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in one of the UK's most strategically important nuclear initiatives, helping develop solutions for the management and future use of reprocessed uranium within a highly regulated environment.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you'll provide process engineering expertise throughout the project lifecycle, supporting concept development, design, technical assurance and engineering delivery on complex nuclear process systems.
The Role
As a Senior Process Engineer, you will provide technical leadership and process engineering support across a range of engineering activities, ensuring solutions are safe, compliant and fit for purpose. You'll work closely with mechanical, EC&I, civil, safety case and operations teams to develop robust process designs that meet programme objectives.
Typical responsibilities will include:
Delivering process engineering solutions from concept through to detailed design.
Producing and reviewing process engineering documentation including PFDs, P&IDs, mass and energy balances, design calculations and technical reports.
Supporting process safety studies including HAZID, HAZOP and design reviews.
Developing process specifications and engineering design packages.
Working collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve technical challenges.
Supporting regulatory compliance and nuclear safety requirements.
Providing technical input into design reviews, client meetings and stakeholder engagements.
Mentoring junior engineers where appropriate and supporting technical governance.About the Project
The role supports the Reprocessed Uranium (RepU) programme, focused on the management and future utilisation of uranium recovered from spent nuclear fuel.
