PFDO have a requirement for a Mechanical Substantiation Engineer to undertake fit-for-purpose, pragmatic design substantiation documentation to address gaps in substantiation in the HALES safety case. The Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs) to be substantiated comprise existing, legacy Safety Features (SFs) that have been designated Safety Function Classes (SFC) - SFC 2 and SFC 3. The types of equipment include:
- Mechanical handling equipment
- Packages
- Lifting Equipment
- Pipework and associated components
- Vessels
What You Will Need:
Essential
- Degree in relevant engineering discipline with at least 2 years design delivery experience OR other qualification such as HNC or HND, with 5-8 years design delivery experience.
- Significant experience in providing fit-for-purpose mechanical design substantiation ideally on Sellafield facilities.
- A key aspect of this role is the ability to quickly self-deliver pragmatic fit-for-purpose, concise substantiation documentation working from a brief scope definition with minimal supervision
- There will be a need to liaise with SL System Engineering personnel based at Sellafield and Design Capability Subject Matter Experts in undertaking the substantiation work.
- Familiarity and experience of working and complying with applicable SL Practices, standards, and engineering guides.
- Familiarity with safety case principles. Capable of providing design substantiation for equipment with designated nuclear safety functions to demonstrate that existing legacy equipment can meet the required safety function placed on it to the appropriate safety function class.
