** Role

Title:

** Associate Engineer – Radiological Consequences Analysis We are Rolls‐Royce SMR and we’re doing something that’s never been done before. We’re revolutionising an industry. That’s a once‐in‐a‐career opportunity for those excited by such a challenge. This is more than just a job; this is a legacy.

The Radiological Consequences team plays a critical role in demonstrating the safety of the SMR power station. Through advanced modelling and analysis, the team evaluates the impact of fault and accident scenarios, supporting the development of the safety case and enabling confident, safety‐informed design decisions.###
*
* About the Role:

** As an Associate Engineer – Radiological Consequences Analysis, you will support the modelling and assessment of radiological releases during accident scenarios, helping to determine their impact on workers, the public and the environment.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams across safety analysis, system design, severe accident modelling and chemistry to develop and apply analytical methods that support the substantiation of the SMR design. Your work will contribute directly to demonstrating compliance with nuclear safety requirements and the application of ALARP principles.

This role provides an excellent opportunity to develop specialist expertise in nuclear safety analysis while building strong foundations in systems engineering, modelling and technical problem‐solving.###
** We’ll Need You To:
*** Support modelling of radiological releases during fault and accident scenarios
* Contribute to the development of methodologies for source term and radionuclide transport analysis
* Apply analytical tools and models to assess radiological consequences for on‐site and off‐site receptors
* Work with multidisciplinary teams to define and scope analysis requirements
* Support development of dispersion modelling and dose assessment calculations
* Produce high‐quality technical reports to support safety case development
* Participate in verification and validation of models and analysis outputs
* Support continuous improvement of analysis methods, tools and processes
* Collaborate effectively with stakeholders across engineering and safety disciplines
* Plan and manage your work to deliver to agreed quality and timescales###
