About the Opportunity - PSA Nuclear Safety Case Engineer – All Levels (Multiple Locations)
Are you ready to make a real impact in the nuclear industry? Our Safety Case Engineers are at the forefront of ground-breaking projects, working hand-in-hand across the civil nuclear and defence sectors, both in the UK and on a global stage. From next-generation systems and emerging reactor technologies, like SMRs, to ensuring the safe operation of existing nuclear facilities, we cover the full spectrum of the nuclear lifecycle.
The role of a PSA Nuclear Safety Case Engineer is pivotal. Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) forms the backbone of the safety case, demonstrating that risks are maintained at acceptably low levels. In this role, you'll be instrumental in designing and maintaining nuclear reactors and facilities, optimising safety and reducing risks. Your work will involve crafting and delivering PSA models, delving into data analysis, supporting key decisions on facility design and operations, and presenting your findings through top-tier technical reports.
We’re excited to hear from professionals with expertise in the application of PSA related techniques in any of the following areas:
Fault and event tree analysis
Quantified risk and reliability assessments
Reliability data assessment
Hazard identification assessments
Internal and external hazard evaluation, including dedicated Hazard PSA assessments, e.g. seismic, fire and flood.
Statistical risk modelling
System dependency analysis
Take the next step in your career with Amentum, where innovation meets opportunity.
The key responsibilities for this role are:
Lead the development and implementation of PSA for major nuclear projects
Perform independent safety assurance reviews
Work closely with clients to manage PSA model implementation and develop effective safety cases and risk management plans
Liaising with clients to understand their challenges and developing solutions.
Representing the business in technical meetings with clients, regulators and other third parties.
Helping to maintain the technical capability/knowledge of the community and mentoring junior team members (as appropriate).
Here's What You'll Need
A good understanding of PSA principles and experience developing and updating PSA models
Expertise in the use of PSA tools (E.g. Reliabilty workbench and RiskMonitor)
Knowledge of ONR and international nuclear standards
Good communication skills and ability to articulate information to a broad range of stakeholders.
Experience of delivering project tasks against relevant standards and best practices.
A degree (or equivalent demonstrable experience) in a STEM discipline.
