Develops scalable certified safety and environmental management systems, leads ISO assurance activities, conducts HAZOP and HAZID assessments, investigates incidents, analyzes trends, supports regulatory interventions, drives improvement plans, and evaluates supplier HS&E arrangements.

Leads holistic reactor island layout development for a small modular reactor programme. Coordinates multidisciplinary engineering teams, integrates systems and technical interfaces, and drives safe, buildable, maintainable design solutions from concept through detailed design. The role includes layout strategy, trade studies, design governance, technical reviews, risk management, stakeholder alignment, team coaching, and delivery planning against cost, quality, and schedule objectives.

Leads the development and continuous improvement of operational capability for Reactor Build across Rolls-Royce SMR programmes. Establishes operating models, methods, processes, standards, tooling strategies, competencies and execution plans for safely assembling, installing, testing and handing over reactor systems. Translates designs into scalable operational solutions, builds specialist delivery teams, and develops the governance and workforce capability needed for first-of-a-kind and fleet deployment. The role requires leadership experience in regulated, safety-critical industrial, engineering, energy, defence or aerospace environments.

Governs engineering codes and standards for mechanical components and pressure equipment within a first-of-a-kind nuclear SMR programme. The role supports ASME BPVC Section III compliance strategy, interprets UK and international pressure equipment requirements, coordinates with design, manufacturing, quality and structural integrity teams, and ensures requirements flow into specifications and supplier documentation. It also provides technical governance, stakeholder briefings and cross-functional oversight without direct line management authority.

Leads the Core Components engineering team, overseeing integrated technical solutions for safety-critical reactor systems. Responsibilities include design maturity, engineering assurance, governance, programme delivery, budgets, strategic planning, stakeholder and supplier engagement, and organisational capability development. The role requires managing complex regulated product-development programmes and ensuring successful integration into the wider nuclear power station design.

Lead ASME technical certification and compliance for small modular reactor manufacturing. Develop manufacturing capabilities, define certification programs and requirements, implement the required quality framework, and advise Manufacturing, Engineering, and Supply Chain teams. The role requires significant ASME certification experience in regulated or safety-critical environments and includes regular supplier travel, with possible international travel.
