Nuclear Safety Engineer

General Description

Shape the Safety Backbone of a Next‑Gen SMR Programme

If you’re a PSA engineer who wants your work actually to influence design decisions, this is one of those rare roles worth pausing for.

Is your CV ready If so, and you are confident this is the role for you, make sure to apply asap.

We’re supporting a confidential organisation at the forefront of advanced nuclear and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) development in the UK. They’re expanding their Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) capability and are open to talent from strong mid‑level through to senior specialists.

Why this role stands out

You won’t be maintaining legacy models or working in a silo. You’ll be embedded at the intersection of safety, licensing, and risk‑informed design, shaping decisions that matter.

Depending on your experience, you could:

• Build and refine PSA models with guidance from seasoned experts
• Take ownership of the PSA strategy and mentor others
• Influence how risk insights drive licensing and design choices

What you’ll work on

• Fault trees, event trees, and sensitivity studies
• Integration of PSA with deterministic safety analysis
• Collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Real contributions to a live SMR programme, not isolated xwzovoh studies

Who this suits

Engineers who want:

• More impact
• More technical depth
• More ownership
• A long‑term programme environment rather than piecemeal projects

If you have practical PSA experience and are considering your next step (whether that’s growing technically or stepping into greater influence), we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
