Engineer for Containment Analysis

About The RoleAs a Senior Containment Fault Studies Analyst, you will lead thermal-hydraulic modelling of the containment and associated emergency cooling systems, producing analyses that demonstrate system performance under a wide range of operating and fault scenarios. Your work will be central to demonstrating the effectiveness of safety systems, optimising plant design and substantiating key elements of the safety case.

You will work closely with system designers, safety case engineers, test teams and other technical specialists to ensure containment models are robust, validated and aligned with overall safety and performance requirements. You will also contribute to the development of analysis methods, verification and validation processes, and the continuous improvement of tools and modelling approaches.

Senior analysts are responsible for planning and delivering their own work, technically leading small teams and playing a key role in capability growth across the wider function.

We'll Need You To

Lead containment and emergency cooling system modelling activities, producing high-fidelity thermal-hydraulic analyses

Demonstrate the effectiveness of containment and safety systems under fault conditions and normal operation

Work closely with system designers to influence design, control strategies and system performance

Contribute analysis outputs that form key inputs to the safety case and support safety case authorship

Model key plant scenarios including:

Normal operation and grid-response

Operational transients such as shutdown and restart

Faulted conditions where passive safety systems are essential to protect the core

Apply rigorous quality-management processes, including verification, validation and uncertainty quantification

Develop automated analysis workflows, including Python-based routes on high-performance Linux computing platforms

Support code benchmarking against experimental data and collaborate with in-house test teams developing multi-megawatt test rigs

Work flexibly across multidisciplinary teams, shaping analysis requirements and communicating results clearly

Provide technical leadership to small teams and support capability development within the function
