Our client has an urgent requirement for an experienced Senior Process Engineer with proven knowledge and practical experience of the SIMUL8 (TRAM) package to support the delivery of a major UK nuclear programme.

This position is location agnostic, offering flexibility for candidates based anywhere across the UK. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary engineering team and provide process engineering expertise throughout the project lifecycle, supporting process modelling, concept development, engineering analysis, design assurance and operational optimisation activities within a highly regulated nuclear environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to strategically important nuclear infrastructure projects while applying simulation and modelling expertise to support complex engineering decisions.

• Apply SIMUL8 (TRAM) to support process modelling, throughput analysis and operational simulation activities.
• Develop, maintain and review process simulation models to assess plant performance and support engineering decision-making.
• Identify process bottlenecks, resource constraints and optimisation opportunities.
• Produce and review:
• Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
• Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
• Mass and Energy Balances
• Process Design Calculations
• Engineering Reports and Technical Documentation
• Support concept, FEED and detailed design activities.
• Participate in and support HAZID, HAZOP and multidisciplinary design reviews.
• Work collaboratively with Mechanical, EC&I, Civil, Safety Case and Operations teams.
• Provide process engineering input to support nuclear safety and regulatory requirements.
• Analyse simulation outputs and present technical recommendations to project stakeholders.
• Support process performance assessments, capacity planning and operational readiness activities.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers where required.
• Degree qualified in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Significant process engineering experience gained within the nuclear sector
