Safety Case Engineer (Nuclear)

As a Safety Case/Technical Integration Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring that all technical and design changes on the Sizewell C project are effectively integrated and compliant with nuclear safety case requirements. You will act as the bridge between engineering, safety case authors, and the site delivery teams—ensuring that any proposed changes are properly assessed against licence conditions and approved through the appropriate governance routes.

• Act as the interface between site delivery teams and the central safety case function, ensuring that technical changes are understood, assessed, and appropriately controlled.
• Support the development, maintenance, and integration of the Sizewell C Safety Case in accordance with nuclear site licence conditions.
• Provide expert input into the technical integration of engineering modifications, ensuring that safety case impacts are identified and managed.
• Liaise with regulatory and assurance bodies as required to support compliance with Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) expectations.
• Support continuous improvement in safety case management processes and promote a strong nuclear safety culture across project teams.
• Coordinate the review and approval process for safety case changes, ensuring timely escalation where formal approval is required.
• Maintain clear and accurate documentation of changes, justifications, and approval outcomes.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not guaranteed and is assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on role criticality and project needs. Many of our UK projects require high-level security clearance, meaning we can often only consider candidates with an existing, indefinite right to work in the UK. Exceptionally, we may consider visa sponsorship for applicants with niche experience aligned to our core work (e.g. EPR/nuclear new build).

• Familiarity with engineering change control and safety justification processes is desirable
• Training & Development, including additional qualifications and accreditations relevant to your role
• Chartered Engineer (CEng) or working towards professional registration is desirable
• Strong understanding of nuclear licence conditions, particularly those relating to safety documentation, modification control, and configuration management.
• Degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
• Experience with UK new build nuclear projects (e.g., Hinkley Point C or similar) is desirable
• Demonstrable experience in nuclear safety case development, implementation, or integration within a licensed nuclear facility or major nuclear project.
• Experience coordinating across multiple technical disciplines and stakeholders.
• Reside locally to Leiston, Suffolk or be prepared to relocate, as this permanent role does not include travel expense coverage.
