Job Description:
Senior Chemical Process Engineer
Full-Time / Hybrid
Derby, Raynesway
We are looking for capable, experienced, and proactive individuals to join our growing team and be responsible for leading chemical process engineering packages. These are high-impact roles, ideal for experienced engineers who thrive on technical complexity, process rigour, and innovation with purpose.
This is an opportunity to use your deep experience in chemical engineering to play a part in the regeneration of the Raynesway Nuclear Licensed Site. This major infrastructure program is replacing current facilities with modern manufacturing capabilities.
You will work across multiple projects and lifecycle stages to ensure that your areas meet engineering and project requirements. Interaction with internal and external stakeholders is essential. You will be supported by a community of around 3,000 engineers with training and development opportunities. The role is based in Derby with hybrid working options.
Experience with nuclear facilities is advantageous, but applications from those interested in redeploying existing capabilities are welcome. The key is the right approach—working with and influencing engineers from other disciplines to integrate chemical engineering into overall solutions.
Responsibilities include:
* Act as 'Intelligent Customer' for chemical engineering aspects of design and construction, including process design, P&IDs, balances, hazard studies, sizing, pressure, and flow calculations.
* Embed principles of safety, hierarchy of controls, and simplification into design.
* Lead development of requirements and design options for chemical engineering packages.
* Review and approve chemical engineering documentation and drawings.
* Contribute to engineering processes, plans, and safety/environmental documentation.
* Ensure proper commissioning and decommissioning of chemical process systems.
* Support the Engineering Manager in ensuring SQEP personnel perform chemical engineering work.
* Provide technical authority, mentorship, and review for junior engineers and cross-functional teams.
Qualifications and Experience:
* Chemical/Process Engineering degree or relevant discipline; experience considered.
* Experience in design, construction, and operation of nuclear or conventional facilities, preferably in the UK.
* Knowledge of Nuclear Site Licensing, SAPs, TAGs, and high hazard sites like COMAH.
* Familiarity with Process Safety tools, modern control principles, nuclear safety case production, and relevant regulations.
* Chartered Engineer or working towards Chartered/Incorporated status.
Why Join Rolls-Royce?
We are a historic, innovative company providing critical power systems. We foster an inclusive, caring environment with opportunities for growth and making a difference. Benefits include a competitive salary, bonus, support assistance, and discounts. Hybrid working is supported, with an expectation of attending the workplace about three days a week.
We are committed to diversity and inclusion, believing varied perspectives drive innovation and success. Security clearance is required for this role, and Rolls-Royce will support the application process. Applicants must be UK nationals or dual nationals in MoD-approved cases.
