They will support the NSSS Auxiliary Piping scope, this covers high integrity large and small bore piping and supports (EM04) and Instrumentation (EM09) within the Safeguard, Fuel, Auxiliary and Reactor Buildings. Instrumentation is a sub-set of the NSSS scope, covering small instrumentation piping and cabinets.
They will support full off-site delivery life cycle, the particular focus is to ensuring delivery to plan and mitigating delivery risks, taking 'best for Project solutions' where necessary. The role responsibilities also include ensuring delivery of the review and acceptance of design by the various parties under the surveillance of Nuclear Services. This post has the responsibility to ensure delivery of all the engineering from all parties up to delivery to Site (HO3) in accordance with the overall Project schedule (delegation/support taken from the Building Coordination Managers). This post will ensure planning and delivery of design and engineering is performed in accordance with all safety, quality and cost parameters to meet the needs of the Project.
The TL will support the Engineering Manager during their work with the Joint Design Office (JDO) to ensure the transfer of engineering responsibility from EPM to the JDO is managed efficiently and support is provided to the JDO as necessary during post HO3 activities.
Dimensions:
MEH detailed design is delivered by the Responsible Designers, including the remaining Open Points at Handover. Execution Designers translate the detailed design into a condition adequate for manufacturing and installation. Engineering issues may continue to be raised during manufacturing and installation (the latter outside the scope of this role), while changes and configuration needs to be controlled. The following key responsibilities have been delegated by the EM to the TL:
* Ensuring timely resolution of engineering issues as they arise in support of the delivery for which the Senior Project Manager is accountable.
* Manage / coordinate all engineering issues as per the given discipline over the entire off-site lifecycle including all Early Warnings, Technical Queries and General Communications raised, open points (OP) and design change (DC) etc.
* Responsible for liaison with all parties contributing to the delivery of works to HO3, ensuring that information is exchanged as required and that all parties deliver their roles to plan.
The main responsibility is to support the Engineering Manager in resolving technical topics and queries by providing prioritised and timely turnaround on engineering issues, facilitating as needed the relevant discussions and expediting internal processes such as review & acceptance and change control etc. The TL will:
* Oversee the resolution of NSSS large bore, small bore and instrumentation piping related topics and Technical Queries.
* Responsible for the timely turn-around of contractual correspondence linked to engineering issues (TQs, EWNs, CEs, etc.).
* Close cooperate with NSSS Configuration and Open Point Manager for all topics in the responsibility of the Technical Leader, evaluation of remaining risks and schedule /cost impact.
* Ensure with Project Engineers that proper engineering support is provided throughout all activities by all design contributors.
* Support the EM through the governance routes for engineering matters (e.g. technical: preparation of CMB papers, commercial: preparation of PWR's and PCR's, related to design delivery and changes in schedule).
* Ensure design interfaces and supplier feedback are effectively managed and controlled.
* Inform management with reports / progress reporting (where applicable and to be defined).
* Preparation of trackers for schedule and maturity analysis, etc.
* Any other specific duties that the Engineering Manager discharges to the TL.
