As we continue to grow, we are seeking an Electrical Pre-Operations Engineer to join our South West nuclear construction team in Bridgwater, Somerset. In this position, you will be providing specialist support to pre-operations activities and contributing to the development of periodic testing strategies, documentation, and delivery approaches for a major regulated infrastructure programme.
The role will involve developing operational instructions for periodic testing, as well as supporting the definition and improvement of processes required to implement testing activities within an operational environment. This includes interpreting and assessing technical information produced by the design authority, such as engineering drawings, specifications, and test documentation, and translating this into clear, usable operational outputs.
Some of the main responsibilities of the Electrical Pre-Operations Engineer will include:
- Develop and author periodic testing instructions and operational documentation for electrical and associated C&I systems within a regulated environment.
- Carry out engineering analysis of electrical systems, equipment, and components to define appropriate periodic testing and surveillance requirements.
- Review and interpret electrical design documentation, including drawings, specifications, schematics, and test instructions, translating these into practical operational outputs.
- Support the development and refinement of electrical surveillance and testing processes to enable safe and effective operational delivery.
- Contribute to planning and scheduling activities related to electrical periodic testing, ensuring alignment with wider operational and programme requirements.
- Support the verification and assurance of electrical operational documentation to ensure quality, consistency, and compliance.
- Work collaboratively with internal teams, delivery partners, and suppliers, providing electrical engineering expertise across organisational interfaces.
- Apply relevant operating experience and industry good practice to continuously improve electrical testing arrangements and support high operational standards.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders across Vulcain and partner organisations, providing engineering insight, supporting assurance activities, and helping to ensure testing arrangements are robust, efficient, and aligned with operational needs.
