Beschreibung
We are looking for an Engineering Delivery & Integration Lead for a 6-month interim assignment. You will work embedded with one of our clients, a company developing a first-of-a-kind nuclear power plant that is moving from design into delivery. In this role you will be the central engineering integrator across technical domains. You will turn a multidisciplinary design effort into a predictable, well-controlled delivery: a clear execution plan, robust design control, early risk management and full traceability towards licensing – while helping the client build the ways of working it needs as the organisation scales.
Engineering execution & technical leadership
- Define and drive a clear engineering execution plan with an aligned schedule, deliverables, cost and responsibilities
- Lead coordination across disciplines (reactor, mechanical, electrical, I&C;, structural, safety) to ensure system integration
- Ensure effective engineering workflows, design control processes and validation approaches are implemented
- Ensure engineering output meets quality, safety and regulatory requirements throughout the lifecycle
Risk, safety & licensing
- Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks early, before they impact delivery
- Ensure the traceability and documentation needed for licensing and safety case development
- Lead key engineering risk methodologies such as FMEA and probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)
- Interface with regulatory bodies and certification authorities
Cross-functional collaboration
- Act as the central engineering interface across project management, engineering teams, suppliers and regulators
- Align stakeholders and maintain momentum through structured coordination
- Support procurement with nuclear-grade technical requirements and supplier evaluation
- Promote a strong safety culture and a design-for-safety mindset
- Ensure early designs apply pre-fabrication and modularisation principles, with early contractor engagement as required
Delivery, planning & improvement
- Contribute to realistic planning of engineering scope, resources, cost and timelines
- Track progress and ensure predictable delivery against milestones
- Drive continuous improvement in how engineering is executed and scaled
- Ensure a smooth handover from engineering to manufacturing, construction and operations
Education & domain expertise
- MSc or equivalent in Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems or Electrical Engineering, or similar
- Strong experience leading engineering delivery in complex, regulated environments (e.g. nuclear, aerospace, oil & gas, defence)
- Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams through complex programme phases
- Solid understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks and standards (SSM, IAEA, ASME, IEC, IEEE)
- Experience with risk methodologies such as FMEA and probabilistic risk assessment
- Familiarity with modern engineering environments (e.g. PLM, model-based engineering)
