If you are a Fault Studies engineer with experience within the nuclear industry, then we are waiting for you to join the team. We are looking for candidates that enjoy assessing plant performance, liaising with clients, and have excellent technical report writing skills. The Role As part of our growing Nuclear Safety Analysis discipline you'll be a Fault Studies Engineer working on consultancy projects for a range of clients in the nuclear industry. You will be required to liaise with clients, define project requirements, and report outcomes through the production of high quality technical reports. You will engage with clients to build a thorough understanding reactor systems and plant scenarios, and assess the plant performance in design basis and beyond design basis fault conditions. In this role you will also support clients in managing internal and external stakeholders, including the regulator. You will be expected to contribute to, and learn from the wider nuclear safety community within Atkins, taking advantage of the global expertise we have across a range of engineering disciplines.
OR Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e. g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
