Fluid System Engineer
Aztec West with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office.
Are you a qualified engineer? Do you have experience of process engineering, thermal-hydraulic calculations, fluid mechanics and modelling? Are you looking to develop your expertise and build experience in the exciting and challenging environment of new nuclear build?
If so, join us as a Fluid System Engineer and you’ll join one of the most exciting and ambitious projects within EDF, as we continue to lead the rebirth of nuclear in the UK.
The Opportunity...
At Hinkley Point C (HPC) we are building two new nuclear reactors, the first in a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK providing low carbon electricity for around six million homes.
EDF EPR Engineering UK (EPR-E) established in 2023, oversees the design (basic design) and the realisation (studies, procurement, erection, testing and commissioning) of nuclear islands for new projects.
EPR-E is responsible for delivering the design for a number of NI buildings, systems and equipment contracts for the Hinkley Point C EPR Project through an integrated team, support to HPC construction and commissioning activities, and preparing design replication feasibility and engineering activities for the Sizewell C Project. Therefore, a Technical Directorate is being created, responsible for the engineering disciplines and technical expertise required to deliver the different engineering projects through integrated teams in EPR-E.
As a System Engineer, you will be responsible for the design of systems which falls under your responsibility and will act as the central point of contact for these systems.
Pay, benefits and culture…
Alongside a salary from £50,000 to £55,000, we offer a competitive benefits package, including a company pension scheme, a wide range of flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle, and the opportunity to earn bonus.
At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.
We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need.
We’ll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.
What you’ll be doing…
- Producing, reviewing, and updating system documentation for the mechanical and thermo-hydraulic design, electrical, operator instructions, human machine interface, safety and environmental, control logic design, and periodic testing in compliance with the engineering rules, methodologies, quality processes, and tools.
- Performing analysis for defining the Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Functional Requirements of the system and production of the I&C logic.
- Performing thermal-hydraulic calculation and modelling with in house or commercial tools and ensuring the 3D model is consistent with the intended system design.
- Formulating equipment specifications and providing data in the respective database.
- Supporting the procurement team in formulation of technical specification for contract documentation and in the technical surveillance of supplier documentation.
- Analysing and verifying input data, requirements, and lessons learnt from other stations.
- Engaging proactively with all stakeholders around the system in Edvance.
- Managing requests for modifications to systems issued by various external parties, producing specifications and following engineering cycle.
- Developing technical solutions and presenting them to internal or external stakeholders.
- Utilising the electronic databases supporting configuration management.
- Liaising with stakeholders through participation at kick off meetings, gate reviews relevant to the system.
- Producing and updating process diagrams with all relevant design changes for handovers with detailed designers.
Who you are…
Your background may include some of the following:
- Mechanical or Process Engineering degree or equivalent qualification.
- 3+ years’ experience of process engineering, thermal-hydraulic calculations, fluid mechanics and modelling.
- Relevant experience in the nuclear industry with knowledge of EPR system design principles.
- Ability to effectively manage own workload to produce high quality documents and respect deadlines.
- Proactive and confident in communicating with others, particularly those based in remote offices including France and Germany.
- Proactive in developing positive working relations with others within the project.
- Continuously looking for opportunities to improve quality of engineering studies and the subsequent documentation produced.
Join us and together we can help Britain achieve Net Zero.
