In this role you will support the SMR programme in a highly regulated nuclear context, overseeing the electrical system lifecycle from cabling datasets to V&V. You will partner with layout, installation, and cross-functional teams to ensure safe, compliant electrical designs and modular delivery. You’ll produce technical governance outputs and mentor junior engineers, shaping delivery of critical power systems. This is an impact-focused position at the intersection of design, verification, and supplier engagement.
Responsibilities
Develop, maintain and quality-check critical electrical datasets (load and cable schedules)
Perform design calculations for electrical distribution networks (cable sizing, protection coordination, discrimination studies, earthing/lightning protection)
Collaborate with Layout and Installation Assemblies to support factory-fabricated modular delivery of MEP modules
Lead verification and validation activities for HV/LV networks, transformers, switchgear and cable routing to meet nuclear standards
Interface with Mechanical, Civil, C&I, Safety and Supply Chain to resolve design issues
Author technical reports for regulatory engagement and mentor junior engineers
Act as intelligent customer when dealing with supplier deliverables and provide technical governance
Key requirements
Degree-level qualification in Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline
Proven experience across the electrical system lifecycle in a highly regulated industry
Nuclear background desirable; Defence, Aerospace, Rail, Marine or Oil & Gas experience valued
Profound understanding of HV/LV/MV power networks and electrical system architectures
Familiarity with electrical design/analysis software (ETAP, SKM Power Tools or similar)
Mastery of Systems Engineering methodologies (requirements management, interface controls, configuration traceability)
Cross-functional collaboration
Mentorship and technical leadership
Strong communication and regulatory engagement
HV/LV/MV power networks and architectures
Electrical system design and analysis software (ETAP, SKM Power Tools)
Systems engineering processes (requirements management, interfaces, configuration control)
