Join a Leading Organisation in the Nuclear Industry

Purpose:

The purpose of this position is to interrogate the SZC CAD models on a room-by-room basis, within a set of criteria, to identify and define boundaries for "modules" (or sub-assemblies) that can be constructed off-site, this reducing the reliance of on-site pipe welding compared to HPC. This approach will reduce the site installation schedule, improve quality consistency and therefore reduce rework and improve safety.
Module definition will be record on a detailed sheet and reviewed by a Constructability Team. The final output will be used by Engineering to produce specific Technical Specifications to fabricate each module.

Key Responsibilities:

Those holding the position are accountable for the timely identification of modules for a series of rooms in accordance with a validated set of criteria and rules. They may also liaise with the Constructability, Engineering and Execution Design functions during this work.
Pending experience, individuals may be asked to review and/or approve the work of others, particularly for higher risk proposals.

Key Requirements:

• HND/Engineering Degree, Mechanical biased (Qualified or equivalent experience).
• Ability to efficiently navigate and interrogate CAD models (the current design uses Navisworks).
• Appreciation of on-site constructability factors that would impact the logical installation of pipework/equipment in a construction environment, particularly the control of interfaces.
• Appreciation of the safety and practical requirements of welding and construction working including lifting activities.
• Methodical working with a key attention to detail and presentation.
• 'Can-do' attitude with a desire to contribute to the future of Nuclear New Build in the UK.

Preferred:

• Piping layout experience.
• Pipework installation experience.
• Appreciation of equipment installation (valves, pumps, vessels etc).
• Understanding of construction requirements and constraints and how they can be mitigated.
• Lifting operations experience.
• HPC Site Construction experience.
• HPC Detailed and/or Execution Design process experience.
• Awareness of the principles of CDM regulations.
