Senior Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical Engineer

Our client works closely with the Design and Engineering partner for Sellafield under the PPP (Programme and Project Partners). This is a 20-year arrangement to deliver £7bn of major projects. We are looking to recruit high value expertise from across regulated and comparable sectors to work in a collaborative environment. PPP is delivering major projects, site wide improvements and provision of supporting services.

About the Senior Electrical Engineer opportunity:

Providing the front end design and engineering capability across the PPP portfolio. Being part of the PPP Team offers a unique opportunity to drive change and innovation in engineering, safety and delivery solutions in one of the most complex industrial sites in the UK if not the world. We are looking for people who are passionate about developing themselves and in meeting new challenges.

As a result of increasing demand for our services, there are significant opportunities for you to support a key project within the nuclear business.

We are currently looking for 2 Electrical Engineers in senior/principal positions to join the team in Westlakes, Cumbria.

The project includes:

• provision of electrical power supplies, lighting and a range of other services, radiological containment and integration of analytical instrumentation.

It is split into four workstreams, three of which are concerned with the actual analytical processes and their containment, and the fourth provides all services to the other three. The multi-discipline design team is split between Risley, Warrington, and Westlakes, Whitehaven.

This particular role is ideally for Cumbrian based experienced Electrical Engineers to work in the division within the services (Balance of Plant) workstream.

It will involve the production of Electrical designs in line with project requirements, as well as close liaison with the other workstreams and disciplines and the Safety Case team, ensuring that the project as a whole proceeds without delays.

Of necessity the work will require regular interface with the Westlakes based design team and existing B170 plant operators and maintainers. Travel to the Sellafield site (including active areas) will therefore be necessary.
