Senior Engineer - Containment Analysis

Senior Containment Fault Studies AnalystAbout the RoleAs a Senior Containment Fault Studies Analyst, you will lead thermal-hydraulic modelling of reactor containment and associated emergency cooling systems. You will deliver high-fidelity analyses that demonstrate system performance across a wide range of operating and fault conditions, supporting the effectiveness of safety systems, optimising plant design, and contributing to key elements of the nuclear safety case. You will work closely with system designers, safety case engineers, and experimental teams to ensure models are robust, validated, and aligned with safety and performance requirements. The role also involves contributing to the development of analysis methods, verification and validation processes, and continuous improvement of modelling tools and approaches. Senior analysts are responsible for planning and delivering technical work, leading small teams, and supporting capability development across the wider engineering function.Key ResponsibilitiesLead containment and emergency cooling system modelling activitiesDeliver high-quality thermal-hydraulic analyses to demonstrate system performanceAnalyse plant scenarios including: Normal operation and grid responseOperational transients (e.g. shutdown and restart)Fault conditions involving passive safety systemsSupport and contribute to nuclear safety case development and authorshipWork with system designers to influence plant design, control strategies, and system ..... full job details .....
