Electrical Engineer — Shape the electrical architecture of a next-generation SMR programme.

For many electrical engineers in power generation, the work can start to feel incremental — small variations on systems you’ve delivered before, limited influence on architecture, and few chances to work across disciplines. If you’re looking for a step that brings you directly into the design heart of an advanced small modular reactor, this role offers exactly that.

We’re supporting a leading organisation in advanced nuclear technologies as they expand their electrical engineering capability for their SMR programme. You’ll help develop, analyse, and qualify both safety-related and non-safety-related electrical systems, collaborating with I&C, mechanical, systems, and nuclear engineering teams.

Perhaps you’re feeling the constraints of working only on balance-of-plant, or find yourself downstream from real architectural decisions. Or maybe you want to broaden beyond conventional generation into a sector with long-term stability and technical depth.

Here, you’ll influence system requirements, translate concept-level inputs into detailed definitions, interface with vendors, and support licensing deliverables — from one-line and three-line diagrams to cable tray routing, component specifications, switchgear, relaying, grounding and lighting design, and electrical design support to other work groups. You will also contribute to system-level technical writing, vendor vetting, and ensuring compliance with nuclear codes, standards, and regulatory expectations.

If you bring a degree in engineering and experience in power generation electrical systems — whether nuclear, fossil, or industrial — this could be your pathway into high-integrity nuclear design. Experience with applicable codes (IEEE, IEC, EPRI, ISA, ANSI, IAEA) is valued; grounding in NUREG-0800 or nuclear licensing is beneficial but not required.

If you’d like to step into a role that offers broader exposure, deeper engineering challenge, and a chance to shape a new generation of nuclear technology, we’d be glad to talk.
