The Safety I&C Commissioning Engineer is responsible for the production of the commissioning documentation associated within the I&C scope of the HPC Nuclear Island project.

The Safety I&C Commissioning Engineer will support the wider EPR-E commissioning team regarding all questions in interface with Safety I&C commissioning discipline.

Under the authority of the I&C Commissioning Lead, the Safety I&C Commissioning Engineer will oversee the commissioning engineering activities related to following systems: Protection system (PS), Reactor Control, Surveillance and Limitation System (RCSL), Severe Accident I&C System (SA I&C), hardware backup system (HBS, Unicorn) and will participate in any transverse engineering activities involving Safety I&C, including hardware and software products of TXS technology.

The Safety I&C Commissioning Engineer will also support the customer for any question related to the preparation of the test execution.

The key duties, responsibilities and deliverables of the Safety I&C Commissioning Engineer are as follows:

1. Preparatory phase

• Confirm the project data & internal organization with the discipline Lead (budget, time schedule, author – checker – approver)
• Identify the relevant stakeholders and means
• Check the maturity of the input data against reference configuration and/or upcoming changes
• Collect OPEX
• Record risks in the related register and propose mitigation plan, if any
• Arrange pre-job brief / kick-off meeting
• Open the study file

2. Execution phase

• Produce the deliverables in compliance with EPR-E engineering procedures and taking into account OPEX from other EPR projects
• Get the deliverables checked by the relevant parties – resolve outstanding issues and comments
• Survey commissioning deliverables elaborated by others (e.g. contractors) with respect to project standards
• Feed the study file as tasks evolve
• Support I&C function tests at test bay (France) including test result assessment

3. Monitoring phase

• Report progress towards initial time schedule & budget
• Update risk register on a need basis

4. Close out phase

• Get approval of the deliverables by the relevant parties without comments (PTP, SAN, SCP and CP)
• Store both the above mentioned deliverables and associated study files in the EDMS

A key component of the role is the digitalization of the documentation using the PLM tool (Switch), participating in the transformation of our engineering production towards data-centric approach.

The main stakeholders interfacing with the Safety I&C Commissioning Engineer will be:

• In the client organisation NNB, the HPC NSSS, Waste and BNI commissioning Managers and the NI Senior Commissioning Manager,

• In EPR-E:
  • the system design teams in charge of NSSS, Waste and BNI design
  • the other commissioning leaders (HVAC systems, Electrical, Fluid Systems, …)
  • contracts and equipment teams
  • configuration team
  • installation/construction teams
