This is a great opportunity to help ensure a safe and highly available reactor plant to meet the future needs of the customer.
We’re a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority.
Join us, and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.
Your role will involve managing and contributing to the delivery of key work packages to establish the SSNA Design Safety Case. There is a need to ensure that safety outputs are efficiently produced to meet our customer requirements, and the role provides the opportunity to identify and embed improvements while developing people leadership skills.
Main Responsibilities:
* To plan, produce, develop, and communicate the Naval Nuclear Safety Case for the SSNA Naval Reactor Plant considering the full product life cycle.
* To deliver committed outputs to the customer at the right time, cost, and quality.
* To work with the enterprise and regulators to ensure the adequacy of the safety case.
* To regularly engage with the Customer and enterprise partners.
* To engage the wider business regarding Safety Case progression.
What you will be doing:
Responsibilities of this role include:
* Executing the planning and balancing of load and capacity within the section in the short and medium term to meet customer demands.
* Providing technical direction and guidance on work packages to ensure they are delivered on time and to quality and cost requirements.
* Leading process adherence within the team, ensuring work packages are robustly defined and technical risks are actively managed.
* Ensuring that the staff are appropriately trained and supervised to carry out their roles effectively and are developed for future requirements.
* Creating the environment for continuous improvement with an emphasis on sharing and searching for good practice with other areas.
* Opportunities to interface directly with the customer via Safety Management Meetings.
* Working closely with the Group Leader, Safety Lead, wider department, and business to execute delivery of the plan and resolve technical and resource issues.
Who we’re looking for:
At Rolls-Royce, we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration, and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviours and are essential components of our assessment process and fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.
Applicants will be expected to:
* Be qualified to at least degree level in a relevant (STEM) discipline.
* Have a broad understanding of nuclear safety case methods, principles, structures, and management for Submarine NSRPs.
* A demonstrable ability to deliver outputs in multidisciplinary teams to tight deadlines.
* The ability to provide clear, concise, and accurate technical reports.
* Experience or knowledge of hazard assessment processes would be an advantage, including design basis assessment techniques (e.g., production of fault schedules, the derivation of safety functional requirements) and As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) assessments.
We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives.
