Together, we're shaping the future of clean energy

At Rolls-Royce SMR, we're delivering a next generation nuclear power solution that will help provide secure, affordable, low-carbon energy for decades to come.

Act as a recognised technical authority, ensuring engineering outputs meet nuclear safety, quality and regulatory expectations.
Lead the development, maintenance and continuous improvement of nuclear technical standards and Statements of Work.
Ensure effective application of engineering governance, requirements management, verification and validation processes.
Provide technical assurance and independent challenge to safeguard nuclear safety and technical integrity.
Support compliance with applicable national and international nuclear codes, standards and regulatory requirements.
Work collaboratively with Engineering, Supply Chain Quality, Safety, Regulatory Affairs and Programme teams.
Coach and develop technical capability across the organisation, helping to strengthen technical competence and quality culture.
Drive continuous improvement activities and support the integration of lessons learned across programmes.

Significant technical experience within the nuclear industry or another highly regulated, safety-critical environment.
Experience operating as a Technical Authority, Technical Lead, Engineering Manager or similar senior technical role.

A degree in an engineering or scientific discipline such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Physics or Materials Science.

Significant relevant technical experience gained within nuclear or other highly regulated industries such as defence, aerospace, oil and gas, rail, or similarly safety-critical sectors.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to play a critical role in the development and delivery of a transformational UK energy programme. You'll help shape technical excellence, influence organisational quality standards and contribute to the safe deployment of advanced nuclear technology.

You'll work alongside industry-leading experts in an environment that values collaboration, innovation, integrity and continuous learning.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. If you feel you meet 75% of the requirements for this role, we would love to hear from you.
