Systems Engineer

Job Description

We are currently seeking Systems Engineers to join the Decommissioning & Waste Services market within our Nuclear & Power business. Ideally based in our existing locations in the North of England although other locations UK wide can be considered.

Reporting to the Systems Engineering Capability Lead you will be responsible for applying Systems Engineering processes, methods, and tools to a wide variety of projects across our nuclear decommissioning and waste management portfolio while also assisting in the continual development of our capability.

Successful candidates will have a proven background in Systems Engineering and will work alongside the Systems Engineering Capability Lead and others to develop and grow the newly established Systems Engineering capability within our market while also supporting projects from within our market and from across the wider Nuclear & Power (N&P) business. This will involve requirements management, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), interface management and verification & validation activities.

Our market focuses on supporting the delivery of engineering design for enrichment and fuel manufacture, plant life extension, decommissioning and waste handling projects across their full life cycle including commissioning and operation. We can offer our own products and technology to provide innovative solutions the accelerate the pace of change and provide resource augmentation to support our clients and partners.

Alongside Systems Engineering, we have strong capabilities in the design, assessment and substantiation of structures, machinery, mechanical handling equipment, low voltage electrical systems as well as control and instrumentation systems. We tackle projects that have varied technical challenges and significant nuclear and conventional safety hazards. Our projects require proactive and collaborative working to brilliantly engineer a cleaner, safer, net zero world.

We continually invest in our people, technology, working facilities and supporting resources to ensure that we strengthen and grow our current capabilities as well as develop new capabilities. This allows us to deliver projects using industry leading and innovative techniques, such as utilising our growing technology solutions and robotics capabilities and showing that our solutions work through active demonstrators.

We are looking for engineers who have experience and expertise in Systems Engineering to grow and develop our capability within our Decommissioning & Waste Services market. This capability complements our existing & well-established core engineering disciplines (Mechanical, Civil & Structural, and Electrical, Control & Instrumentation) as well as our growing capabilities (Engineering Management, Technology Solutions, and Robotics).

As a new capability, our working practises and processes are still maturing. Consequently, responsibilities will include supporting new and ongoing projects while also developing and formalising best practise into processes. This will therefore come with an opportunity to contribute to shaping business-wide policy. Responsibilities may also include supporting bid teams in winning work where Systems Engineering is an aspect of the proposal(s).

• You should have a demonstrable understanding of the application of a Systems Engineering approach to design. Experience with key Systems Engineering methodologies (e.g., architecture definition, Pugh matricies / optioneering, interface management) as well as requirements management, structured verification, and the use of requirements management tools such as IBM DOORS.
• Experience with MBSE tools such as Capella or Sparx EA is desirable as is experience and awareness of different engineering life cycles. Experience with VS code and / or other coding languages and frameworks is also desirable.
• You should be keen to join a capability at an early stage and to support the Systems Engineering Lead in its development, bringing your experience and knowledge to assist in this. This role may…
