Description:
This is an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious nuclear company, joining the project at an early stage and actively contributing to the design of the next generation of nuclear reactors.
To collaborate to the Lead Fast Reactor (LFR) design activities and experimental facilities, focusing-on design concepts development for pressure-retaining and special/bespoke components with particular reference, but not limited to, operation in molten lead.
Reporting to our Head of Unit, the key duties of the role include:
- Ensuring the execution of design activities for the remote handling in the field of LFR, in accordance with best engineering practices, also exploring innovative solutions to technical challenges and problems.
- Participating in the definition of the operative sequence of operations.
- Developing the design of bespoke components/mechanism, from basic to detail facing the mechanical, electrical, and automation aspects in an integrated way.
- Reviewing the 3D model internal and external interfaces within a BIM context and PLM system.
- Participating in the definition of the methodologies for stress analysis of bespoke mechanical components/mechanism according to the applicable construction code by using Finite Element Modelling.
- Contributing to the purchasing of technical documentation for component supply, including automation software.
- Confirming the technical accuracy of engineering documents when delegated by the Line Manager.
- Preparing and participating in kick-off meetings, review meetings, design meetings and studies.
- Ensuring that equipment manufacturers are delivering in accordance with the defined design and manage non-conformities. Supervising the expediting.
- Ensuring the accuracy of engineering documents when delegated by the Line Manager, confirming their technical correctness.
- Contributing to the development and update of newcleo’s General Specifications and standard procedures in the discipline.
- Collaborating with multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
