Our team is international, our engineers are coming from different countries as we are looking for the best talents!
SUITABLE CANDIDATE
You enjoy analising concrete problems, finding solutions and then setting them up.
Getting involved in significant industrial and engineering projects involving very demanding precautions as regards industrial safety captivates you.
Your good analytical skills, sense of logic, aptitude for synthesizing and your scientific knowledge will allow you to adapt quickly to multi-system environments.
You have the ability to adapt to new technical problems. You know how to manage a small-sized team.
You like the idea of working on Projects and Quality matters to you.
You are a good team player.
THE ROLE
As an I&C Commissioning Engineer, you will follow the scope of the following deliverables:
* Plat-form Test Procedure (PTP) and its related study file aiming at validating I&C functions at test bay for the operational control system.
* Sufficiency Analysis Note (SAN) and its related study file demonstrating the proper test coverage of the safety functions assigned to a system.
* System Commissioning Programme (SCP) and its related study file.
* Commissioning Procedures (CP) and its related study file.
Your activities will be based on design documentation, client’s engineering methods standards and processes as well as commissioning documentation and feedback from other EPRs projects.
In an attempt to depict the main steps of the delivery process, you will be in charge of the following activities:
* Confirm the project data & internal organization with the discipline Lead (budget, time schedule, author – checker – approver).
* Identify the relevant stakeholders and means.
* Check the maturity of the input data against configuration and/or upcoming changes.
* Collect lessons learned.
* Record risks in the related register and propose mitigation plan, if any.
* Arrange pre-job brief/kick-off meeting.
* Open the study file.
* Produce the deliverables in compliance with the client’s engineering procedures and taking into account lessons learned from other EPR projects.
* Get the deliverables checked by the relevant parties – resolve outstanding issues and comments.
* Survey commissioning deliverables elaborated by others (e.g. contractors) with respect to project standards.
* Feed the study file as tasks evolve.
* Support I&C function tests at test bay (in France) including test result assessment.
* Report progress towards initial time schedule & budget.
* Update risk register on a need basis.
* Get approval of the deliverables by the relevant parties without comments.
* Store both the above-mentioned deliverables and associated study files.
A key component of your role will be to be in charge of the digitalization of the documentation using the tool (Switch), participating in the transformation of our engineering production towards a data-centric approach.
You will support the wider commissioning team regarding all questions in interface with the I&C commissioning discipline. Under the authority of the I&C Commissioning Lead, you will oversee the commissioning engineering activities related to several systems and participate in any transverse engineering activities involving I&C.
During the first months, you can count on the KURY Team to assist you all along your projects. This experience will give you the opportunity to move on to other projects in the medium term: you will tackle varied but complementary projects, studies and technical topics. Your understanding of the technical and environmental challenges will allow you to take on complex and critical transversal studies.
REQUIRED SKILLS
* Experience in Conventional HMI (SICS) system and interfaces with different I&C systems.
* Experience in Gateway communication between TXS and TXP technologies.
* Basic knowledge of the hardware and software products of TXS technology.
* Basic knowledge of different line of defence in the nuclear industry for I&C systems.
* Sound knowledge in TXP technology – both hardware and software products: Engineering and Commissioning Tools, Operating and Monitoring System, Diagnosis system, Bus systems including Industrial Ethernet and Profibus DP fieldbus.
* Understanding of the hardware backup system.
* Understanding and reading of the I&C logic diagrams.
* First commissioning test experience on a nuclear site, or commissioning procedure elaboration.
* Ability to propose fit-for-purpose technical solutions in their area of expertise.
* Capability of coordinating technical topics that may involve several engineering disciplines (mechanical, fluid/HVAC, I&C) and suppliers.
* Good writing skills with a focus on the drafting of test procedures and test coverage substantiation files.
* Rigour in the production and review of deliverables.
* Ability to work in a team, in an international and multicultural environment.
* French-speaking would be an advantage.
