Full job description

Overview of Responsibilities

In this role you will be a core member of the Power & Cooling Integrated Project Team, directly reporting to the Head of Engineering – Power & Cooling.

The role will be primarily supporting the design efforts of the STEP Prototype Powerplant (SPP) by providing core expertise and capability of the systems interfacing with the tokamak.

You will lead and own the design, as the Lead Process Engineer, for the key process systems, these are:

The Tokamak primary cooling system, which will circulate coolants that will extract heat from the tokamak
The power cycle system, which will convert the heat extracted from the tokamak into electrical power
The heat rejection system, which will reject heat from the power cycle and the wider SPP, to the environment

Working with the Advanced cycles lead, you will own any relevant and required technology development programmes seeking to develop the design confidence of these process systems.

In this role you will be a key contributor to a deliverable design which will ultimately ensure SPP’s ability to convert thermal power into electrical power that can be delivered to the grid, for the first time from a fusion energy source.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Act as the Process Engineering Subject Matter Expert for Power & Cooling systems, and support programme wide development of engineering governance and assurance
Lead the design and delivery of the Power & Cooling process systems (tokamak primary cooling, power cycle, heat rejection) from concept through to detailed design
Ensure the technical integrity, safety, manufacturability and performance of all process system designs
Provide process modelling and analysis expertise to support design development and validation
Lead and develop a multi‑disciplinary team of engineers, providing technical direction and assurance
Own and deliver process‑related technology development and testing programmes, working with internal and external partners
Apply systems engineering principles to manage requirements, interfaces, risks and trade‑offs
Lead technical engagement with suppliers and collaborators, acting as an intelligent customer
Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, regulations and engineering governance processes
Promote a strong leadership mindset, fostering collaboration, high standards and continuous improvement
