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 and monitoring systems across the power station. These systems underpin reactor safety, plant operation and integration of both safety‑classified and non‑classified C&I systems. The C&I function plays a vital role in ensuring design quality, compliance, operability and engineering coherence across the entire plant architecture.
About The Role
As a Senior C&I Engineer, you will provide technical expertise across the full lifecycle of C&I systems for the SMR nuclear power plant. This encompasses system architecture, sub‑system design, component specification, design/selection and system integration into the final verified design of the power station.
You will work closely with engineering teams across the business to support cross‑functional collaboration and apply structured systems engineering methodologies. You will undertake detailed design assessments and analysis to substantiate technical decisions, ensuring that C&I systems are safe, compliant and aligned with the wider plant architecture.
Your work will involve translating high‑level requirements into technical specifications, ensuring compliance with international standards (IEC 61513, IEC 61226, IEC 61508), producing verification and validation plans, supporting safety case activities and contributing to lifecycle processes and procedures. You may also support or mentor more junior engineers and act as an intelligent customer when engaging with suppliers and contract partners.
