Join to apply for the Senior Nuclear Safety Engineer role at AtkinsRéalis.

We’re shaping a smarter, more agile world. You’ll join a genuinely collaborative environment where everyone’s voice is valued and treated equally. We offer flexible and remote working policies to help you balance life and work.

As a Senior Nuclear Safety Engineer in the \'Aerospace, Defence, Security and Technology\' (ADS&T) group, you\'ll play a vital role in shaping projects. You\'ll provide safety case leadership, support and delivery, and work closely with clients to develop and implement solutions to solve complex problems.

Your Purpose

We want you to help deliver significant defence-related programmes across the UK. This includes the design and construction of new infrastructure, life extensions and upgrades, maintaining ongoing operations, and decommissioning. You will be involved with all aspects of safety case support, including:

• Shaping the nuclear safety case strategy.
• Working closely with project partners to ensure a safety-informed design.
• Engaging with stakeholders to facilitate ‘Right First Time’ delivery (incl. designers, client, site, and regulatory body such as DNSR or ONR).
• Undertaking safety assessments and safety analysis (e.g. HAZID, HAZOP, FMEA, HAZAN, etc).
• Producing safety reports and other technical documents (e.g. PSR, PCSR, ALARP reports, etc).
• Support to Engineering Substantiation activities.
• Managing/Leading Safety Case activities and teams.

Whilst the office base is in Bristol, Manchester, Silchester or Glasgow, flexibility in work location is a must as client sites may require occasional presence.
