We are Rolls-Royce SMR and we’re doing something that’s never been done before. We’re revolutionising an industry. That’s a once‑in‑a‑career opportunity for those excited by such a challenge. This is more than just a job; this is a legacy.
The Control & Instrumentation (C&I) team is responsible for delivering safe, secure and technically robust control, protection, information and communications infrastructure across the power station. ICT systems are critical to safety, operations, resilience and regulatory compliance, enabling the secure flow of data, communications and plant information across the SMR facility.
About The Role
As a Lead C&I Engineer (ICT), you will provide technical expertise across the full lifecycle of communication and information systems for the SMR nuclear power plant. This includes the design and implementation of all telephony (analogue, digital, SIP and unified communications), radio and broadcast communications, and IT data networks (LAN, WAN, Wi‑Fi, SDN/SD‑WAN) required to support power station operation.
You will develop system and network architectures, lead subsystem design, specify and select components, and support final integration to deliver the fully verified ICT system design. You will work closely with C&I teams, SMR Security, engineering functions across the plant and Corporate IT to ensure secure, aligned and high‑integrity solutions. Your role ensures that ICT systems are cyber‑secure, compliant with relevant standards and capable of supporting safe and effective station operations.
