What You’ll Be Doing

As a Mechanical Engineer, specialising in Valve Engineering, you’ll support all valve engineering activities for the Hinkley Point C (HPC) Project within the Joint Design Office (JDO), ensuring designs are compliant, constructible, and fit for operation in a nuclear environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical clarification on valve-related deliverables required for construction, working closely with Back Office design teams (EPR-E, EDVANCE, CNEPE and valve suppliers).




• Gather, review and assess engineering inputs, design assumptions, technical specifications, equipment data sheets and supporting documentation.




• Review valve design documentation to ensure compliance with project requirements, nuclear codes and applicable standards.




• Carry out valve engineering assessments, including:




• Functional and operational reviews




• Assessment of operational requirements




• Qualification and environmental requirement reviews




• Identification and implementation of design modifications




• Manage and close valve-related technical queries and open points.




• Assess and provide technical responses to issues arising during manufacturing, testing, installation and commissioning activities.




• Review and integrate valve design modifications requested by project stakeholders following JDO handover.




• Perform engineering assessments and hand calculations to determine the feasibility and impact of proposed changes.




• Review and verify technical documentation produced by suppliers and engineering subcontractors.




• Identify opportunities to improve and optimise valve designs and associated documentation.




• Collaborate closely with system engineers, layout engineers, CAD designers and multidisciplinary teams to support valve integration across plant systems.




• Lead technical meetings and manage interfaces with a wide range of stakeholders.




• Provide subject matter expertise on valve operation, maintainability, reliability and nuclear safety requirements.

Coordination Responsibilities

• Acting as the primary point of contact for valve-related queries from the HPC site, you will:




• Coordinate technical activities across multiple valve packages and systems.




• Drive alignment and consistency of technical solutions between stakeholders.




• Monitor, manage and support the resolution of valve-related open points.




• Facilitate communication between design teams, suppliers, construction teams and the client.




• Support project delivery by ensuring valve engineering activities are executed in line with project schedules, quality standards and delivery objectives.
