Work-life balance and flexibility is a key focus area for Jacobs. We're happy to discuss hybrid, part-time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and our business.
About the Opportunity:
The Independent Nuclear Assurance (INA) team has supported the Ministry of Defence's (MoD) submarine Naval Nuclear Propulsion Programme for over sixty years, delivering independent Nuclear Safety and technical advice in support of both in-service operations and future designs of Naval Reactor Plant. This includes working with a wide range of technical specialists to provide effective, balanced and proportionate advice to some of the most complex, challenging and important projects within the UK.
With the security of a long-term arrangement to continue this support, an opportunity has arisen to support the next generation of nuclear submarines. This role would ideally suit an experienced Safety Case engineer, however, applications are welcome from civil nuclear or other high hazard industries. Consideration would also be made towards those earlier in their career looking to step up into a more senior role, with the provision of comprehensive domain training and development opportunities.
This is ideally a full-time role, based in offices at Birchwood Park, Warrington. However, hybrid working practices are in place and consideration to adopt a flexible working pattern will be made for the right candidate.
Key Responsibilities
- Assessment of fault studies aspects of Nuclear Safety Cases in support of the development of the Naval Reactor Plant Safety Cases.
- Co-ordination of advice across a range of technical disciplines to ensure that the MoD are provided with impartial, balanced and proportionate advice.
- Being the point of contact for the MoD customer, attending relevant safety and technical meetings on behalf of INA with a range of stakeholders.
- Delivering to agreed schedules and budgets.
Here's What You'll Need:
- Degree or equivalent professional training in science or engineering.
- At least 5 years experience either authoring or assessing Safety Cases, with a focus on fault studies (predominantly DBA, but also PSA, SAA, hazards characterisation) and safety methodologies.
- Clear and concise communication skills, and the ability to explain complex topics using simple language.
- Ability to work directly and effectively with the customer, and to provide direction and guidance across a range of tasks to a collaborative team consisting of multiple technical disciplines.
- Demonstrable Safety Case training (such as AV1 or 2) and knowledge or experience of Relevant Good Practice for Nuclear Safety Cases are desirable.
