Move from conventional electrical engineering into the design of next-generation SMR systems.
We’re supporting a confidential organisation at the forefront of advanced nuclear technology as it develops a new small modular reactor programme across the United States and Europe. As the programme matures, they are expanding their electrical engineering capability to strengthen front-end and detailed system design for a first-of-a-kind nuclear power plant.
This role sits within a multidisciplinary SMR engineering team, contributing to the definition, design, and specificationof nuclear-grade electrical systems. The focus is firmly on design quality: translating functional requirements into robust architectures, producing clear technical documentation, supporting design justification, and engaging with vendors to ensure systems are fit for a regulated nuclear environment.
You might currently be working in general electrical design, industrial projects, or infrastructure environments — developing solid fundamentals — but feel that your work is weighted toward execution rather than owning system intent, interfaces, and long-term design decisions.
This role offers a step into safety-critical engineering where electrical design choices matter across the full plant lifecycle. You’ll contribute to the design of AC and DC systems, grounding philosophies, battery systems, lightning protection, and communications — with a strong emphasis on system integration, requirements alignment, and design coherence, rather than operational power delivery.
Working alongside experienced nuclear engineers, you’ll deepen your understanding of nuclear standards, design assurance, and how electrical systems sit within the wider reactor and balance-of-plant architecture. It’s an environment designed to grow engineers who think in terms of systems, interfaces, and intent, not just calculations.
If you have a strong electrical design foundation and are motivated by thoughtful, safety-driven engineering work, we’d be glad to explore whether this represents your next step.
