Summary of the Role:

Capula is part of the Imtech Group and a leading advanced automation and real-time business intelligence company specialising in Automation, Control and IT Solutions and Services with major customers in the Nuclear, Energy & Infrastructure and Transmission & Distribution markets.  The Company is renowned for its innovation, technical excellence, and project delivery, quality and safety

Summary of Role:

The System Engineer will be responsible for performing the necessary engineering analysis, including the supporting calculations, for a specific system(s) in order to produce the system documentation required for the HPC project working from either an office base or later on-site as part of site engineering. The System Engineer will act as the central point of contact for system(s) which fall(s) under their responsibility. This role is for a System Engineer specialising in either HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), fluid/distribution or waste treatment systems design

Main Activities

• Responsible for system design and system integration into overall HPC design:
• Produce, Review and update the system documentation for the mechanical and thermo-hydraulic design, electrical, operator instructions, human machine interface, safety and environmental, control logic design, as well as periodic testing in compliance with the engineering rules, methodologies, quality processes, and tools
• Particularly for Instrumentation and Control, performing the analysis for defining the I&C Functional Requirements of the system and production of the I&C logic :
• Writing of the Instrumentation and Control Functional Requirements
• Writing of Detailed Functional Diagram (DFD)
• Writing of the FTP (Functional test platform procedure) specifications
• Analysis of the results of the FTP tests
• Writing of P5 text (I&C logic description)
• Writing of P6.x (alarms sheets, operating images, operating modes)
• Particularly for mechanical design:
• sizing of components e.g. pumps, fans, pipework, pressure relief valves, tanks
• Perform thermal-hydraulic calculation and modelling with in house or commercial tools
• Ensuring the 3D model is consistent with the intended system design
• Formulate equipment specification and provide the data in respective database or data sheet
• Support to procurement team in formulation of technical specification for contract documentation
• Support to procurement team in technical surveillance of supplier documentation
• Analysis and verification of input data, requirements, and lessons learnt from other stations
• Engage proactively with all stakeholders around the system to ensure the delivery of a product meeting the requirements set by all disciplines (layout, civil, hazard, nuclear safety, environment, configuration management, procurement …)
• Contribute to topics around good practises, innovation, improvement of processes, and quality
• Participate in experience sharing activities within the discipline
• Management of modifications related to the system including:
• Managing requests for modifications to system(s) issued by various external parties by producing specifications and following engineering cycle (I&C and/or mechanical design changes specifications)
• Analysis and verification of the applicability of these modifications and challenging them as appropriate
• Developing technical solutions and presenting them to the client to help resolve technical issues (technico-economic optimisation approach)
• Utilising the electronic Engineering Change Management tool
• Support to System Coordinator for relevant building:
• Producing and updating component datasheets for handovers with detailed designers
• Producing and updating P&IDs with all relevant design changes for handovers with detailed designers
• Liaising with other stakeholders through participation at kick off meetings, gate reviews etc relevant to the system.

Essential Requirements:

• Mechanical or Chemical Engineering degree or equivalent qualification
• Knowledge of Instrumentation and Control design
• Experience of producing design documentation and Test Specifications
• Knowledge of nuclear system design, thermal-hydraulic calculation and modelling
• Working knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and thermodynamics
• Knowledge of PWR or AGR power station design and system

Desirable Requirements:

• Knowledge of EPR design principles and Safety Classification
• Understanding of Safety Case construction and Nuclear Safety requirements placed on systems
• Knowledge of UK licensing requirements and its application within the HPC project
• Familiarity with Human Performance techniques
• Experience of working on an operating plant or on an industrial site
