Lead Engineer – Electrical Systems (Site Specific Design)

Role Title: Lead Engineer – Electrical Systems (Site Specific Design) We are Rolls‑Royce SMR and we’re doing something that’s never been done before. We’re revolutionising an industry. That’s a once‑in‑a‑career opportunity for those excited by such a challenge. This is more than just a job; this is a legacy. The Electrical Systems team is responsible for delivering the electrical architecture and infrastructure that supports the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the SMR power station. As our international deployment programme grows, site‑specific design activities are becoming increasingly important to ensure the generic plant design can be successfully adapted to meet local regulatory, licensing and site requirements. About the Role: We are recruiting for two Lead Engineer opportunities within our Site Specific Design team. One role will focus on supporting our Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE‑N) programme in the UK, while the second role will focus on supporting our ČEZ programme in the Czech Republic. In both positions, you will provide technical leadership across the lifecycle of Electrical Systems for a site‑specific variant of the SMR nuclear power plant design. You will be responsible for leading the electrical design response to site‑specific requirements and constraints, ensuring alignment with the generic SMR design while identifying, assessing and controlling any required design changes. The UK‑focused role will particularly benefit from experience of UK nuclear regulation, site licensing and grid code compliance. The Czech‑focused role will particularly benefit from knowledge of Czech nuclear regulatory practices and licensing requirements. Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will apply structured systems engineering principles to ensure robust design integration, traceability and compliance across the site‑specific design lifecycle. We’ll Need You To: Lead electrical engineering delivery for site‑specific SMR design variants Maintain alignment between site‑specific designs and the generic design baseline Assess site‑specific requirements, assumptions, constraints and interfaces Translate plant, operational, safety and site requirements into electrical system specifications Provide technical leadership across system owners, component owners and interfacing disciplines Ensure site‑specific electrical designs remain compliant with applicable requirements and standards Support systems engineering activities including requirements management, interfaces, assumptions and traceability Define and support verification and validation activities for site‑specific electrical requirements Support design reviews, technical assurance and configuration control activities Act as an intelligent customer for partner and supply chain electrical design activities Provide design evidence to support safety case, licensing and regulatory activities Support procurement, construction,…
