Overview of Role
The role will support our major clients in the civil and defence nuclear power generation industries. This work will involve working to civil / defence and nuclear codes and standards as well as National and International standards with the potential for responsibility for significant programmes / schemes of work. The position involves the provision of support to a long term legacy PLC replacement project, for fuel route control systems on AGR nuclear power plants. Working under supervision, either individually or as part of a team, to deliver high quality work to time, quality, budget and customer satisfaction.
Key Responsibilities
• Successful execution of high quality engineering work to time, quality, budget and customer satisfaction.
• Accurately estimate work for proposals/tenders.
• Plan and manage own engineering design and assessment work within associated project budgets.
• Engage with clients in order to understand technical needs and task requirements / scope.
• Identify areas to improve efficiency and bring innovation where possible.
• Maintain and develop successful working relationships with engineers in client organisations.
• Continually develop technical knowledge and competence in field of expertise, and seeks to develop skill portfolio.
• Provide support to Software, C&I and Safety System Engineers at our Newcastle office for the development and testing of code migration & dynamic model/simulation environments including:
o Implementation & testing of PLC software modules & systems.
o Design implementation & testing of simulation software devices for complete project simulation.
o Design, configuration, implementation & testing of SCADA systems.
Preferably educated to Degree level in a relevant engineering of scientific field, however HNC/HND considered in a mathematical, scientific or engineering discipline (or with equivalent qualifications and experience).
An appreciation of technical risks associated with work and able to discuss / advise on how to manage these with Responsible Engineers or Team Leaders
• The ability to write good concise English is essential
