What You’ll Be Doing

 As a Senior Commissioning Engineer, you’ll lead and coordinate commissioning activities across the Fluid systems and Overall commissioning discipline. Your responsibilities will span from the production of essential commissioning documentation and schedules to team leadership and strategic interface management. You’ll also support on-site testing and technical reviews and drive innovation through digital transformation and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

You’ll:

Lead technical and quality coordination across the Fluid/Overall commissioning scope.

Deliver commissioning documentation aligned with HPC project requirements.

Manage schedules, budgets, and performance for the Fluid/Overall team.

Review and validate documentation, ensuring alignment with functional requirements.

Support NNB on testing strategies and system preparation activities.

Collaborate across design, electrical, I&C, HVAC, configuration, and construction teams.

Drive digital transformation and support knowledge transfer within EPR-E.

 Who you are

You’ll be an experienced engineer, ideally with knowledge of the nuclear sector, otherwise on large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects. A solid grasp of systems engineering principles is essential, and familiarity with EPR design and the UK nuclear regulatory environment would be an advantage.

Overall, you’re a strategic thinker and a natural communicator who thrives in collaborative, cross-functional environments. You’re not just a technical expert – you’re a leader, mentor, and problem-solver, ready to shape the future of clean energy.

Apply today and join us in helping Britain achieve Net Zero.

Closing date for applications: Friday 23rd May.
