Do you have practical on plant or laboratory trials experience i.e. writing of Risk Assessments and Method Statements and successful implementation Are you have experienced with AutoCAD Inventor software? Would you be interested din working on a complex nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste retrieval project? Please read on and apply today of so… The Opportunity Project Background The solid waste facility within the Harwell nuclear licensed site has been receiving wastes from this nuclear research for the last 50 years. The tube stores at Harwell are being cleared of wastes using bespoke retrieval machines. Due to degradation of the waste containers, some of the tubes will still be contaminated to various degrees once the retrieval machine work is complete. As a result, our client is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to drive the scope of the project to help develop the design, manufacture, test, install and commission all plant and equipment required to enable the Post Operational Clean Out (POCO) of the Tube. Stores such that they can be handed over for building decommissioning. The POCO project has completed the optioneering phase and produced concept designs for the equipment to carry out specific tasks to allow the tubes to be decontaminated. The proposed process for tube decontamination is grit blasting with further options, including mechanical brush cleaning, to be considered if the current trials for grit blasting prove not to be effective. The role As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you’ll have a role that’s out of the ordinary. You'll provide point of contact with professional engineering colleagues and various stakeholders for discipline related issues during design lifecycle, contribute to design reviews and ensure coordination and functionality of design. This role has been deemed inside IR35 Duration:12 months (37 hour week over 4 days) Your duties and responsibilities Day-to-day, you’ll lead and support on a range of POCO equipment trial activities, recommend and review design updates. Promote effective co-operation across Design and other functional teams. Lead and assist on resolution of technical and delivery issues, such that the Technical Project Manager is fully briefed and informed of progress.
