• Lead the development of requirements and design options for chemical engineering packages. 
• Provide assurance that requirements have been appropriately incorporated into design and construction.
• Manage and integrate detailed design, manufacture and installation of plant and equipment produced by supply chain partners

Who we’re looking for:

To be successful in this role you will need to meet the following criteria:

• Chemical/Process Engineering degree or similar relevant discipline, although experience and capability will be taken into consideration.              
• Experienced in the design, construction or operation of nuclear and/or high hazard facilities and infrastructure within the UK ideally including experience of undertaking and assessing design of facilities.
