Our Mission:

At Rolls‑Royce SMR, we are delivering clean, affordable and secure nuclear power to support the UK and global transition to net zero. Our Small Modular Reactor programme combines proven nuclear technology with modern engineering, manufacturing and digital delivery to create a world‑class energy solution with long‑term societal impact.

The Team

You will join the Reactor Plant Systems function within the Hazard Protection capability.

You will work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment alongside civil, structural, architectural, systems, safety, C&I and human factors engineers.

The Role:

As a Design Engineer – Hazard protection, you will support the development and delivery of engineering solutions that protect the power station against internal and external hazards.

Apply robust governance, configuration control and design assurance processes

Support regulatory and licensing interactions

Work in accordance with health, safety, environmental and regulatory requirements

What You’ll Bring

Experience delivering engineering work in a regulated or high‑hazard environment

A relevant engineering degree or equivalent practical experience

Awareness of internal and external hazards and their implications for plant design

Experience or interest in hazard protection measures or safety‑significant environments

Understanding of systems engineering principles and requirements management

Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams

Strong communication skills and stakeholder engagement capability

A proactive, collaborative mindset and comfort working with ambiguity

Location

This role can be based in Warrington, Derby or Manchester, with hybrid working available. Flexible and part‑time working arrangements can be considered to support work‑life balance.

What’s in It for You

We anticipate paying a salary of between £42,000 - £52,500.00 DOE plus:-

Bonus - Performance related target opportunity 12.5%

Benefits Allowance – £2,200 per annum, enabling you to create a bespoke package

We are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements and will make reasonable workplace adjustments where required to support individuals in performing at their best.

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying, but there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ candidate. If you feel you meet around 75% of the requirements, we would love to hear from you.

A culture that values diversity, innovation, and continuous learning.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Inclusivity is important to us, and as a Disability Confident organisation, we are committed to fair, supportive, and continually improving recruitment practices that ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

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.

Also, if you are considering a career move or a sector-jump, please get in touch – we welcome applications from people with transferable skills.
