* Must be conversant with the relevant engineering standards for delivery of high integrity piping installations and associated equipment.

* Familiar with nuclear containment and shielding principles/design.

* Must have experience in working with schedules to track activities and provide regular updates to project management.

* Experience in Nuclear Design Justification Report (DJR)/Engineering substantiation production/checking

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will already have experience of:

* Checking of engineering drawings up to and including manufacturing maturity.

* Checking of engineering documentation such as risk assessments, outline installation method statements, calculations and operation & maintenance manuals
