JOB DESCRIPTION

Overview

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity at the heart of an ambitious fusion energy project? Join our Plant & Process Engineering Division (PPED), within the Engineering Service Department (ESD) as a Process Engineer

As a Process Engineer, your goals will include:

Using engineering analysis to inform design decisions whilst ensuring work aligns with relevant codes and standards.
Producing high-quality engineering solutions across a broad range of process engineering topics over the lifecycle of the system.
Ensuring deliverables are produced according to project schedule and budget, within a quality-assured environment that requires rigor and a systematic way of working.
Developing, under the leadership of your discipline manager, your skills and experience for the benefit of the Project.

The ESD provides the required skilled engineering resources or services, which are necessary for the successful completion of the ITER Project.

Plant & Process Engineering Division provides technical support to the ITER project in the field of Process Engineering. Being a member of the Plant & Process Engineering Division, you will have the opportunity to share and develop your expertise with other colleagues working in the same discipline on different ITER units.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

Primary Responsibilities:

Develops and finalizes functional analysis, control logic design studies and operational guidelines for new and existing plant systems under the assigned scope ensuring compliance with interfacing systems.
Provides in-depth analysis, calculations and process reports for a variety of plant systems to check that the design fulfils the requirements of full plant lifecycle including procurement, testing, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning.
Undertakes mass balances, heat balances, process modelling, and simulations (Fathom, Relap, Impulse, Arrow, EcosimPro, ANSYS).
Supports procurement activities under the assigned scope by preparing technical specifications, relevant tenders, and updates documents as needed for the fabrication and testing of the plant systems in accordance with the requirements.

Additional Responsibilities:

Supports commissioning and plant performance testing / troubleshooting including preparation of documentation for testing and commissioning whilst considering client requirements as well as availability of suppliers.
Produces Process Flow Diagrams, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams, Layout Drawings, and Specifications, Equipment Process Data Sheets, Instrument Data Sheets, Interlock Description, Cause and Effect Diagrams.

Please note that job descriptions cannot be exhaustive, and the staff member may be required to undertake other duties, which are broadly in line with the above primary responsibilities.

This position is shift and/or on-call based, and crucial to maintaining continuous operations and ensuring the highest level of service for our stakeholders.
