Nuclear Safety Analyst (Associate to Senior)

Our client is the UK arm of a global clean-energy engineering group developing next-generation small modular reactor (SMR) technology. From its Bristol office, the team delivers structural, mechanical, and safety-critical engineering for advanced nuclear power, supported by centres in the US, Spain, and India. As the SMR-300 progresses through design, analysis, and licensing, the UK group is expanding rapidly.

We are seeking Nuclear Safety Analysts at Associate, Analyst II, and Senior levels to support deterministic safety analysis for the SMR programme. This is an opportunity to contribute to a major clean-energy project during key design and licensing stages within a highly technical, analysis-driven environment.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Perform deterministic safety analysis (DSA) for the SMR-300, evaluating:
  • Reactor core and coolant behaviour
  • Engineered safety features
  • Containment response
  • Radiological releases across AOOs and DBAs
• Contribute to nuclear system code development and validation.
• Responsibilities scale with seniority:
  • Associate Analysts support calculations and modelling.
  • Analyst II Engineers lead defined analyses and technical tasks.
  • Senior Analysts manage complex work packages, interpret regulatory expectations, and prepare licensing documentation.

Experience Requirements

• Relevant background in nuclear thermal-hydraulic analysis
• Proficiency with system codes such as RELAP, COBRA, or GOTHIC
• Familiarity with fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and/or DSA using nuclear system thermal-hydraulic codes
