Full-Time Lead Electrical Engineer

Your Mission: This role leads teams to deliver infrastructure-related engineering activities. You coordinate across electrical disciplines, supporting the organization in the planning, supervision, and review of design documentation. The role manages technical interfaces and ensures effective integration with stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead multi-discipline engineering coordination
• Chair design reviews, working groups, and meetings with consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders
• Design substantiation ownership: Develop, author, assess, and manage the Nuclear Infrastructure Design Substantiation suite.
• Control design integrity: Manage design changes and concessions, ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards.
• Support through-life safety case: Produce Examination, Inspection, Maintenance & Testing (EIMT) schedules and operating procedures to satisfy long-term safety and design intent.
• Engage with nuclear safety governance: Present substantiations to the client's 'Due Process' nuclear safety committees and support safety case submissions.
• Technical oversight and assurance: Review and approve contractor reports, civil/structural justifications, and calculations. Conduct Independent Technical Assessments (ITA) and Peer Reviews (IPR).
• Contribute to Periodic Reviews of Safety (PRS): Develop reports supporting continued safe operation and regulatory compliance.

Essential Criteria:

• Strong knowledge of British and European design standards and current engineering practices
• Solid understanding of High Voltage (HV) and Low Voltage (LV) electrical systems
• Proven experience across concept, detailed design, and construction phases on electrical engineering projects (ideally within industrial or maritime environments)
• Skilled in assessing electrical plant and equipment for hazard resilience
• Demonstrated ability to author robust technical justifications to support electrical design modifications in high-hazard industries
• Familiarity with industrial systems such as pumps, generators, HVAC, SCADA, PAVA systems, etc.
• Experience contributing electrical expertise to multi-discipline projects, ideally within defence and/or maritime sectors

Desirable Criteria:

• Previous experience working within a high-risk, regulated environment
• Understanding of safety case development methodologies (e.g., HAZID, HAZOP)
• Experience in the UK nuclear industry (civil or defence), particularly in the design/assessment of safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSCs)
• Knowledge of UK and US nuclear regulatory frameworks, and application of nuclear-specific codes and standards
