* Developing fire safety strategies and technical documentation that keep people and infrastructure safe.
* Leading ALARP demonstrations, gap analysis, and code/standards evaluations for nuclear-specific hazards.
* Creating fire system design documentation (requirements, P&IDs, equipment lists, sizing calcs).
* Collaborating across engineering teams to deliver high-quality outputs on time and within budget.
* Ensuring all designs go through technical reviews and meet nuclear-grade quality standards.
Who are we looking for?
* Knowledge of fire hazards in complex or nuclear environments.
* Hands-on experience designing fire systems (alarms, suppression, barriers, detection).
* Familiar with BS9999 and nuclear-specific fire protection codes.
* Comfortable justifying deviations from standards or identifying safety-related gaps.
* Experience working on safety-led projects and delivering against structured programmes.
* Strong understanding of the full project lifecycle—from concept through to detailed design and review gates.
You are...
* Passionate about engineering
* result-oriented
* proactive
Qualifications
Experience, skills and qualifications required:
* Degree in Fire Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear engineering or related discipline.
