Liaison with build organisation and provision of engineering support to ensure the as built product reflects design intent
Understand the key requirements and critical dimensions for major structural components
Take the lead on design changes that affect major structural components, whether they originate from emergent issues, process improvement, etc.
Support or act as the engineering member of the test and authorisation groups (depending on experience)
Develop knowledge of the unique build sequence of the Reactor Compartment Unit of the submarine and provide engineering support
Participate as an engineering representative in the planning and execution of all major construction evolutions with the scope of the Reactor Compartment Unit
Development & presentation of sound technical solutions to issues arising during construction of the Naval Reactor Plant
Providing technical rationale and sound engineering recommendations to Rolls-Royce and MoD to challenge existing requirements
As a Principal Engineer - Nuclear (Mechanical), you will be supporting the design, build & test activities on the Naval Reactor Plant (NRP) across multiple programmes to ensure the design intent is met in the final product. This includes coordinating and leading the resolution of a diverse set of issues that arise during the build and test of the reactor plant, with a strong emphasis on developing technical solutions to problems, as well as ensuring that the associated safety case is adequate, coupled with providing advice to various internal teams such as Engineering Delivery, Test & Commissioning, Operations and Project. Externally, you will be required to represent the business and operate alongside our Enterprise partners, namely the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Rolls-Royce Marine Power.
We offer relocation support packages across all Submarine roles, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
Minimum Requirements:
