Senior CE&I Engineer

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Senior CE&I Engineer”, “description”: “

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced EC&I Engineer to support critical projects within the nuclear industry, with a particular focus on decommissioning and safety‑critical systems. The successful candidate will be responsible for the specification, design, integration, and validation of EC&I systems across complex decommissioning projects in line with nuclear safety regulations.

This role requires deep technical expertise in safety systems (including SIL‑rated systems), a strong understanding of nuclear standards and compliance, and the ability to deliver across all project phases, from concept through to commissioning and handover.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the design and implementation of electrical, control and instrumentation systems for nuclear decommissioning projects.
  • Ensure safety‑related control systems meet required SIL classifications and comply with UK nuclear regulatory frameworks (e.g. ONR, BS EN 61508, IEC 61511).
  • Produce, review, and approve technical documentation including specifications, calculations, drawings, schematics, and functional design documents.
  • Carry out hazard identification, HAZOP/HAZAN studies, and functional safety assessments.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior engineers within the EC&I discipline.
  • Interface with project teams, clients, and regulatory stakeholders to ensure design compliance and robust safety justifications.
  • Support site surveys, commissioning plans, FAT/SAT procedures, and troubleshooting of installed systems.
  • Drive continuous improvement in engineering quality, project delivery, and nuclear safety culture.

Required Qualifications & Experience

  • Degree‑qualified in Electrical Engineering, Control & Instrumentation Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Significant experience working in the nuclear sector, including decommissioning projects.
  • Demonstrated expertise in the design and implementation of safety systems, including SIL‑rated and fail‑safe systems.
  • Strong knowledge of functional safety standards (IEC 61508 / 61511) and UK nuclear regulations.
  • Experience producing and reviewing design deliverables to a high technical standard in a regulated environment.
  • Competent in using design software and EC&I tools (e.g. AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, PLC/SCADA platforms).
  • Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to work effectively across disciplines and with external stakeholders.
  • Chartered Engineer status or working towards it (e.g. with IET).
  • Familiarity with decommissioning project lifecycle stages and legacy systems upgrade/replacement.
  • Experience with remote handling, robotics integration, or safety case authorship in a nuclear context.
  • SC or DV clearance (or eligibility to obtain).
