Full job description

Overview of Responsibilities

In a fusion power plant, maintainability isn’t just important — it’s fundamental. The ability to inspect, repair and replace components in a high-radiation environment will shape the plant’s architecture, availability and ultimately the cost of electricity it produces.

As Maintenance Manager, you’ll be the technical authority for plant maintainability, defining how the STEP Prototype Plant is designed to be maintained from day one. You’ll shape key design decisions across the tokamak and wider plant, ensuring maintenance is safe, efficient and achievable in a first-of-a-kind powerplant.

Taking a long-term, strategic view, you’ll track and continuously improve plant maintainability, proactively managing risks and adapting plans as the programme evolves. Your work will be central to delivering a commercially viable fusion power plant.

What you’ll be doing

Accountability 1: Shape the Maintenance Architecture & Strategy

Define and lead the maintenance architecture for the STEP Prototype Plant
Own the maintenance requirements, strategy and assurance approach to demonstrate safe, efficient and timely maintenance
Build a clear, plant-wide maintenance model that supports high availability and commercial performance
Develop a first-of-a-kind maintenance approach for both the spherical tokamak and balance of plant
Establish the maintainability case, ensuring targets for availability, outage duration and lifecycle performance are achievable
Embed design-for-maintenance principles (access, modularisation, remote handling) into the evolving plant design
Communicate maintenance strategy, risks and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders and leadership

Accountability 2: Champion Design for Maintainability

Lead a cross-programme approach to embedding maintainability into plant and system design
Work closely with engineering, tokamak and plant teams to shape design decisions early
Ensure maintenance considerations influence layout, segmentation, component design and operating concepts
Promote a strong, shared mindset of design-for-maintenance across teams and partners

Accountability 3: Drive Maintenance Innovation & Technology Development

Identify and manage risks linked to first-of-a-kind maintenance challenges
Define and deliver a roadmap for maintenance technologies, including remote handling, tooling and processes
Shape and prioritise R&D programmes with partners to mature key capabilities
Bring in global best practice from nuclear and remote maintenance environments
Drive innovation to solve the unique challenges of maintaining a spherical tokamak in high-radiation conditions
Maximise opportunities for UK capability, growth and value creation

Accountability 4: Lead and Grow the Maintenance Capability

Provide clear technical leadership to the STEP Maintenance team
Plan and deliver integrated work packages that enable maintainable plant design
Coordinate resources across internal teams and partner organisations
Track progress and ensure high-quality, robust technical outputs
Develop and mentor engineers, building a strong and future-ready maintenance capability

Accountability 5: Lead with Purpose and Inclusivity

Bring a leadership mindset to everything you do — regardless of role or title
Create a positive, inclusive and collaborative team environment where people can thrive
Enable partners and suppliers to deliver maintenance solutions through clear guidance and support
Help build a strong UK fusion supply chain, growing capability, confidence and innovation
Engage with industry and academia to share knowledge and bring best practice into fusion
Foster a respectful, supportive culture that values diverse perspectives
Act as an ambassador for our values, demonstrating integrity, professionalism and ethical behaviour
Make thoughtful, well-informed decisions that balance technical excellence with wider impact
