Role Title: Senior Engineer – Verification & Validation Delivery(Electrical)
We are Rolls-Royce SMR andwe’redoing somethingthat’snever been done before.We’rerevolutionising an industry.That’sa once-in-a-career opportunity for those excited by such a challenge. This is more than just a job; this is a legacy.
The Development Engineering organisation is accountable for proving that the SMR power station design meets itsobjectivesand requirements. It is also responsible for providing the data and evidence that underpin the design and delivery of the power station through verification, testing,demonstrationand research programmes. This spans not only nuclearengineeringbut the wider engineering and operational disciplinesrequiredto deliver a major infrastructure project.
As a seniorengineer you will beexperienced inelectrical power systems ora combination ofelectrical power systems and,control&instrumentation.
About the Role
Senior Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineers play a key role in Rolls-Royce SMR’s Systems Engineering approach by leading the process of verifying that the power station design meets its requirements. This forms a crucial part of our strategy to offer delivery certaintythrough the use ofmodern engineering tools and techniques — including analysis and rig testing — to substantiate the design before construction begins.
You will take ownership of complex, safety-critical or business-critical areas of the power station aligned to yourexpertise. Yourinitialresponsibility will be to develop comprehensive verification strategies that define the activities and evidencerequiredtodemonstratecompliance. Throughout the verification lifecycle, you will work closely with design leads and technical specialists to execute these strategies and confirm compliance.
Alongside technical leadership, you will mentor other V&V Engineers, support capabilitydevelopmentand complete rigorous technical reviews to ensure quality and consistency.
There are multiple roles to fill within the team & we are particularly interested in speaking with people from one or more the following backgrounds:
Electrical power systems and high voltage networks– further experience in C&I is desirable.
Equipment Qualification (EQ) ona previousnuclear project, or qualification of components in a safety critical environment
Nuclear or other highly regulated industrial experienceis desirable.
We’llNeed You To:
Develop verification and validation strategies within your area of responsibility
Act as an intelligent customer in the V&V of the plant and across the RR SMR business
Support the verification and validation of the safety case
Produce reports for regulatory bodies and present/discuss findings with regulators
Defineobjectivesand requirements for verification activities (e.g. rig tests, analyses) and agree these with delivery teams
Review and collect evidence of verification activities across internal teams and the supply chain
Collate evidence and use it to assess compliance against requirements
Manage technical interfaces across functions to ensure coherent and efficient technical solutions
Coach and review the work of others to elevate technical quality across the team
Perform detailed technical checks and provide constructive feedback to peers

Climate change and its consequences are one of the greatest challenges ever to face mankind. The global challenge around decarbonisation is huge.
At Rolls-Royce SMR, our vision is simple – we want to provide clean, affordable energy for all.
A new approach to delivering nuclear power
Our Small Modular Reactor is an integrated power station, that takes well understood, existing nuclear technology and applies a factory-based philosophy to its fabrication and assembly.
This repeatable, standardised approach generates huge efficiency gains to make it a commoditised product that is affordable, repeatable, deliverable and investable on a global scale, providing cheaper and more flexible electricity to form part of a future balanced, clean energy mix.
When fully operational the Rolls-Royce SMR programme will create 40,000 regional UK jobs by 2050 and generate £54bn in economic benefit, with a forecast to target £250bn in global exports for the UK.
