Engineer - Thermofluid Analysis

Description

• Author analysis reports which summarise key results for system performance including pressure drop, NPSHa, control philosophy, cavitation margin, thermal performance
• Use analysis for sizing key components to achieve system requirements (i.e., pumps, valves, tanks, HX etc.)
• Build and analyse 1D representations of fluid systems, including system architecture, pipework, components and control philosophy (mostly liquid, but some gaseous systems)
• Apply knowledge of thermo-fluid behaviour and system design principles to propose design/control modifications to meet system performance/safety requirements
• Scoping of analysis requirements to demonstrate a system meets its performance and safety requirements
• In some scenarios, a higher fidelity 2D/3D analysis approach may be required and there may be opportunities to support the delivery of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis within the group

Requirements

• Track record of delivering analysis tasks to time, cost, and quality, with strong communication and leadership skills.
• Satisfactory completion of a basic financial probity check
• Satisfactory completion of a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
• Experience with 1D fluid systems analysis using tools like Flomaster or equivalent techniques (e.g., hand calculations, empirical correlations).
• Skilled in verification and validation of analysis models, including benchmarking and uncertainty quantification.
• Knowledge of fluid system design principles, including control philosophy, flow balancing, NPSH, and system resistance curves.
• Experience in reviewing and technically checking thermo-fluid analysis for high-assurance applications.
• Obtaining Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance
• Proven ability to develop analysis methods and technical approaches to support design and safety cases.
• Strong understanding of applied fluid mechanics and heat transfer principles.
• Familiarity with geometry pre/post-processing tools (Navisworks, NX) and scripting (MATLAB, Python).

Benefits

• Pension - 12% employer and 6% employee contributions.
• Bonus - Performance related target opportunity 12.5%
• A flexible, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
• Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling business.
• Private Medical Insurance - BUPA single cover health care
• Life Assurance - 6x pensionable pay
• We anticipate paying a salary of between £40,000-£52,500 DOE
• £250 - One-off payment for new starters for home office purchases
• Benefits Allowance – £2,200 per annum, enabling you to create a bespoke package
• Holidays - 28 days holiday (+ public holidays) and the ability to buy or sell up to 4 days.
