Overview

Our client has an urgent requirement for an experienced Senior Process Engineer with proven knowledge and practical experience of the SIMUL8 (TRAM) package to support the delivery of a major UK nuclear programme.

This position is location agnostic, offering flexibility for candidates based anywhere across the UK. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary engineering team and provide process engineering expertise throughout the project lifecycle, supporting process modelling, concept development, engineering analysis, design assurance and operational optimisation activities within a highly regulated nuclear environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to strategically important nuclear infrastructure projects while applying simulation and modelling expertise to support complex engineering decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Apply SIMUL8 (TRAM) to support process modelling, throughput analysis and operational simulation activities.
• Develop, maintain and review process simulation models to assess plant performance and support engineering decision-making.
• Identify process bottlenecks, resource constraints and optimisation opportunities.
• Produce and review:

• Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
• Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
• Mass and Energy Balances
• Process Design Calculations
• Engineering Reports and Technical Documentation

Support concept, FEED and detailed design activities.Participate in and support HAZID, HAZOP and multidisciplinary design reviews.Work collaboratively with Mechanical, EC&I, Civil, Safety Case and Operations teams.Provide process engineering input to support nuclear safety and regulatory requirements.Analyse simulation outputs and present technical recommendations to project stakeholders.Support process performance assessments, capacity planning and operational readiness activities.Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers where required.
