Shape the Safety Backbone of a Next‑Gen SMR Programme
If you’re a PSA engineer who wants your work actually to influence design decisions, this is one of those rare roles worth pausing for.
We’re supporting a confidential organisation at the forefront of advanced nuclear and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) development in the UK. They’re expanding their Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) capability and are open to talent from strong mid‑level through to senior specialists.
Why this role stands out
You won’t be maintaining legacy models or working in a silo. You’ll be embedded at the intersection of safety, licensing, and risk‑informed design, shaping decisions that matter.
Depending on your experience, you could:
* Build and refine PSA models with guidance from seasoned experts
* Take ownership of the PSA strategy and mentor others
* Influence how risk insights drive licensing and design choices
What you’ll work on
* Fault trees, event trees, and sensitivity studies
* Integration of PSA with deterministic safety analysis
* Collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams
* Real contributions to a live SMR programme, not isolated studies
Who this suits
Engineers who want:
* More impact
* More technical depth
* More ownership
* A long‑term programme environment rather than piecemeal projects
If you have practical PSA experience and are considering your next step (whether that’s growing technically or stepping into greater influence), we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
