Great opportunity as Chief Engineer with one of our latest investments whose mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization globally by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. This role is based in the UK but open to US based candidates who can relocate. Principals only, please!
Reporting to the CEO, we require a hands-on engineer to serve as the first hire on the engineering team. You will help develop, own, and execute their technical roadmap from conceptual design through the first shovel of dirt. You will spearhead engineering endeavors encompassing the full scope of the plant’s design and installation (the nuclear island as well as the balance of plant), guiding them from conceptual design stages to prototyping and eventually detailed design for manufacturing. Collaborating closely with the Head of Regulatory and Licensing Strategy and the commercial team, you'll champion the development of the safest, most cost-effective, most scalable, and most stakeholder-friendly advanced nuclear platform, enabling a global renaissance in nuclear power. Success in this role demands unwavering dedication to expanding expertise in shipyard manufacturing, offshore logistics, naval engineering, nuclear engineering, structural engineering, and thermal power plant engineering. From crafting comprehensive requirements for the nuclear island and balance of plant to personally devising analytical models for mission-critical designs, this position offers a breadth of responsibilities across the engineering spectrum.
You will thrive in this role if you have:
Built something real: You have worked from an idea on a page, through FEED, test, all the way to implementation. Whether it is commissioning a new plant, first flight, or the successful deployment of a new technology, you know what is required to bring an idea to fruition.
Expertise in highly regulated engineering: You know the regs and standards of your industry inside and out, and maybe have sat on committees to improve them. It’s okay if you don’t know what NUREG-0800 or ASME NOG-1 are yet, but you should be eager to learn them and spend a lot of time with them. You have worked closely with systems engineers, or have served as one yourself, to help build and adhere to the requirements for your project.
Engineering Breadth: Knowledgeable in areas from power plant design, naval engineering, nuclear engineering, geology, analysis (thermal, static, dynamic, CFD, thermodynamics), or proven ability to learn new disciplines quickly.
Leadership Skills: Proven ability to provide technical leadership and guidance to multidisciplinary engineering teams, with a track record of successfully leading complex engineering projects from concept to implementation.
