The Team

The Major Reactor Island Equipment team defines, owns and governs critical nuclear plant components that underpin safe and efficient SMR operation. The team provides technical authority, integrated cross-functional leadership and design assurance across the full lifecycle, from generic product definition through to site‑specific deployment.

Engage internally and externally, at all levels and across functions, to drive the programme needs and support your teams in critical decision-making.

Lead, develop, and mentor the Major Reactor Island Equipment engineers, whilst supporting the overall capability development of the teams.

Support the delivery of multiple design/make and make-to-print supplier contracts throughout the product lifecycle, playing a key role in the Intelligent Customer strategy.

Ensure full compliance with E3S obligations (environment, safety, security and safeguards) across all activities.

This is a senior, influential leadership role requiring strong component engineering experience, governance expertise and the credibility to act as technical authority within a complex, regulated delivery environment.
