Senior Safety Case Engineer

CRA is one of the UK's largest integrated Risk, Safety and Human Factors consultancies. We have a long history of helping our clients in the UK nuclear and other high hazard industries manage risk and ensure the safety of their operations.  As part of the Assystem Group we also have opportunities to support a wide variety of projects around the world.

Closing date for applications: 30th June 2023.

CRA are looking for experienced safety case engineers to join our growing team so if you are a safety professional looking for a new challenge then we would like to hear from you.  There are opportunities in our offices in Glasgow, Warrington and London but are able to offer home based working for those based elsewhere.

We are looking for self-motivated, passionate safety professionals to grow our existing safety case capability. We have a specific need for candidates with the following specific skills and experience but still want to hear from you if this is not your area of expertise:

• Waste and Decommissioning
• Licensing and Regulation
• Pressurised Water Reactors
• Internal and External Hazards assessment

At CRA we recognise the benefits diversity brings to our organisation and pride ourselves on providing equal opportunities for all.  Flexibility has always been at the core of our business, and even more so post pandemic.  Providing our people with the right work life balance brings significant benefits to both individuals and the organisation and we are happy to accommodate a range of different working arrangements, whether it be hybrid-working, part-time working, condensed hours, or home-based contracts.

Our staff are our greatest asset and we strive to help each of our consultants to continue to develop technically and professionally by providing them with the opportunities and support they need to grow and realise their potential.  We are committed to the Continuous Professional Development of our people through a combination internal and external training, targeted work experience, and mentoring.

We encourage our seniors to share our passion for developing the next generation of engineers by taking an active role in mentoring and supporting our juniors, as well as supporting external programmes, such as involvement in initiatives led by institutions or other relevant bodies, sponsoring undergraduate projects, supporting STEM activities in schools, or our own CRA Annual Risk and Safety Forum.  However, we also recognise that learning and development never stops and provide all our staff a generous annual training allowance, regardless of seniority.

The specifics of the role will vary dependent on your skills and experience but as a senior safety case engineer you can expect to be leading projects for a range of clients across the UK nuclear industry including new build projects, supporting operating facilities, as well decommissioning and waste management. You will also have the opportunity to take an active role in business development, building and maintaining relationships with clients and supporting bids for large and small projects and frameworks.

As a senior safety case engineer you will have:

• A Degree (or relevant work experience) in any of the following disciplines – Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Physics or Mathematics etc.
• Significant experience (typically 7+ years) in the production of safety assessments for nuclear facilities.
