Job Description:

Provide technical expertise across the full lifecycle of standby and auxiliary power generation systems within a highly regulated, safety-critical engineering environment. The role covers delivery of complete generator system designs, including system architecture, sub-system development, equipment specification, equipment selection, integration, verification, and validation activities.
Working within multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will apply a structured systems engineering approach to develop robust and compliant electrical power solutions from concept through to final verified design.

• Translate high-level plant and operational requirements into detailed technical specifications for generator and associated electrical power systems.
• Collaborate with process, mechanical, controls, safety, and electrical engineering disciplines to develop integrated system solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and engineering guidance for generator system design activities.
• Develop and assess system architectures, equipment specifications, and design substantiation documentation.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable international standards and regulatory requirements, including IEC 63046, IEC 63332, and IAEA SSG-34 guidance.
• Produce verification and validation strategies, including inspection, testing, commissioning, and acceptance plans.
• Support lifecycle engineering activities covering design, procurement, installation, operation, maintenance, and future upgrades.
• Contribute to safety case development and technical interactions with regulators, independent assessors, and external stakeholders.
• Support supplier and contract partner management activities, acting as an intelligent customer where required.
• Provide mentoring and technical support to junior and developing engineers.

• Strong background in electrical power generation systems, standby generators, or critical power infrastructure.
• Experience delivering systems engineering activities within regulated or safety-critical industries.
• Knowledge of electrical system integration, equipment specification, and design assurance processes.
• Familiarity with verification, validation, and requirements management methodologies.
• Understanding of relevant IEC and international engineering standards.
• Ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Experience supporting safety case or regulatory compliance activities is desirable.
• Previous experience managing suppliers, contractors, or technical work packages would be advantageous.

• Role involves working across the full lifecycle of classified and non-classified electrical systems.
• Opportunity to act as a responsible designer and technical authority depending on project scope.
• Responsibility for delivery of defined engineering work packages and programme milestones.
• May involve oversight of external engineering partners and technical review activities.
• Hybrid working may be available depending on project requirements and site access needs.
