  • Proven experience in addressing materials, manufacturing, welding, and corrosion challenges within the nuclear, conventional power, or offshore sectors.
  • Experience in producing precise, detailed, and concise technical documentation pertinent to the role (e.g., materials selection reports, fabrication and welding specifications, inspection and quality plans, corrosion/ageing management strategies).
  • Ability to engage effectively with existing and prospective clients, working on-site to understand their challenges, objectives, and processes.
Preferred Experience:
  • Design for manufacturing utilizing established models, design codes, procedures, and databases, including working with design and construction codes such as ASME, RCC-M, or harmonized EN standards.
  • Familiarity with conventional machining, welding, non-destructive testing, and dimensional inspection.
  • Understanding of materials performance and ageing mechanisms in nuclear power facilities.
  • Knowledge of coolant chemistry and strategies for mitigating oxidation/corrosion in reactor coolants.
