The JDO is managed by HPC, Licensee and Manager of the HPC Project. It is made up of staff from:

• HPC, managing the teams and owning the processes,
• EDVANCE and CNEPE who study and approve design changes as well as non-conformances within their scope of delegated authority,
• Contractors who previously delivered the detailed design.

Within this organization the JDO Mechanical Engineer report to JDO Piping Discipline Lead. The position is located on Hinkley Point C construction site.

The mission will consist of supporting all studies of mechanical structures, more particularly for piping stress analysed containment liner, pool, sumps and tanks liner carried out in France or in the United Kingdom with the designer and the contracting authority.

The Mechanical Engineer is in charge of:

• Making clarifications of the deliverables necessary for the Installation with the help of the Back Office who carried out the studies (Bristol and Paris – Malakoff),
• Closing of open points and comments,
• Assessing and answering technical issues arising during erection and construction works
• Assessing and integrating modification coming from the stakeholders after packages handed-over to JDO,
• Doing some hand calculations and running anchorages macros to assess the feasibility of modification,
• Checking calculation notes and drawings, such as piping isometrics or equipment drawings,
• Proposing improvements for the studies not finalized,
• Maintaining Edvance’s QA procedures in delivering the design,
• Working with CAD designers/detailers in the preparation of the design drawings,
• Leading technical meetings with suppliers or any other necessary support entities,
• Interfacing with several stakeholder

To support the mechanical analyses and engineering judgement you will oversee:

• Gathering input data, analysing/updating hypothesis notes and loading description reports
• Performing the piping flexibility calculations and calculation of piping supports
• Analysing the mechanical behaviour of the piping network with respect to the codified criteria,
• Proposing appropriate and proportionate modifications in case the sizing criteria are not met
• Producing technical assessment note
• Updating the calculation notes

Such activities could be extended to any mechanical studies to support other disciplines such as HVAC, Equipment or Electrical.

General and technical background expected

Essential:

• Science, mechanical engineering degree
• First experience in piping and supports stress analyses; Experience in general Mechanical Structure analyses is a plus

Skills desirable:

• Experience in previous EPR or other nuclear projects is desirable
• Experience of UK design context and regulatory processes
• Experience in ANSYS and in calculation of special piping component (fixed point, endplates)
• Experience in HVAC and Electrical supports calculation

Languages (level):

• English fluent
• French is a bonus
