Safety Engineer

General Description

PSA Engineers – Shape the Safety Case of a First-of-a-Kind SMR

Increase your chances of an interview by reading the following overview of this role before making an application.

We’re building the Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) capability for a first-of-a-kind Small Modular Reactor (SMR) programme.

This is not an operational or compliance-only role.

This is design-integrated, analysis-led engineering — influencing decisions while the plant architecture is still being defined.

What we’re looking for

PSA Engineers (Engineer II and Senior / Engineer III level) with experience in:

• Development and application of PSA models

• Fault tree and event tree analysis and quantification

• Interfacing PSA with deterministic safety analysis (DSA) and design teams

• Nuclear, energy, oil & gas, or other safety-critical industries

• Engineers comfortable exercising technical judgement and ownership

Engineer II: typically 3–7 years’ experience

Engineer III: typically 8+ years’ experience with technical leadership responsibility

Why this is interesting

• Work on a FOAK SMR programme with long-term global relevance

• PSA embedded directly into design and licensing decisions

• xwzovoh High technical responsibility and visibility

• Based in the South-West (UK) with flexibility

• Join while the safety case and models are still being shaped — not just maintained

UK Right to Work required
