The role of the Nuclear Reactor Systems Engineer - Verification and Validation - provides a unique opportunity to work on the engineering development of a new nuclear power station design that will contribute to the global reduction of carbon emissions.

The role could be based out of Rolls-Royce SMR's Derby or Warrington offices, with opportunities for hybrid working.


About Rolls-Royce SMR:


Rolls-Royce SMR is a new business, specifically created to design, construct and deliver a new fleet of Small Modular Reactor nuclear power plants that will play a key role on the race to Net Zero, as well as providing energy security.

Created through Rolls-Royce'spassion for engineering excellence, this is an exciting new business which expects to become a leading player in the future of energy.


Rolls-Royce SMR is building a high performing engineering team that drives for pace, efficiency and innovation in everything they do.

A truly rewarding career is on offer for ambitious and talented engineers who want to be bold and create a legacy.


About the Role:

You will be working on the Verification & Validation of part of the power station's reactor island design.

This could be on the reactor systems or components, or on supporting systems such as the nuclear mechanical or fuel handling, or waste treatment systems.

Key Responsibilities of the Role will be:

  • Defining and managing the design Verification Strategy for Reactor Island parts of the power station, using own knowledge and bringing together the expertise that exists across the wider engineering team.
  • Specifying requirements for verification activities within the strategy, including rig tests and analyses, and confirming these tasks with the relevant parties.
  • Supporting test programmes that provide verification evidence; for example defining the objectives/requirements for a test, or leading a project of laboratorystyle testing.
  • Ensuring all verification activities undertaken, whether internally or within the supply chain, are conducted to a high standard
  • Collating verification evidence as it is produced and using it to assess design compliance to requirements

Benefits and Work Conditions:


  • A highly competitive salary is on offer along with a performance related bonus.
