Design Engineer Radioactive Waste Management

THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

The “Radioactivity Management” Competence Centre, which is part of the D&D Department, is responsible for all Engineering aspects in the field of:

* Radiation Protection;
* Radiation Monitoring;
* Radiological Characterisation;
* Radioactive Waste Management (both waste from operational and from dismantling activities);
* Decommissioning Concepts (Dismantling Tools & Techniques, Conceptual Design Studies…).

MISSION

• Conducting Engineering studies related to the “treatment and conditioning systems” of solid radioactive waste and liquid and gaseous effluents.
• Establishing equipment lay-outs in collaboration with designers and draftsmen.
• Using computer codes developed for evaluating decommissioning costs.
• Developing sensitivity studies with those computer codes, especially regarding radioactive waste management techniques and strategies implemented and their impact on the decommissioning planning and costs.
• Writing technical specifications and follow-up contractors during the site commissioning phase.
• Maintaining the knowledge, required expertise and methodologies required to accomplish the missions.
• Delivering “quality on time”: in order to achieve this objective, the Engineer will get all support required in terms of technical training, coaching and availability of (IT) resources.
• Verifying work performed by team people.
• Correctly applying the Integrated Management System (IMS) procedures.
• Providing regular feedback concerning ongoing activities to the team lead and hierarchy, while working autonomously towards the goals defined.
• Identifying and implementing possible synergies with other teams and/or Competence Centres.
• Contributing to the preparation of technical bids at an international level.
• Providing (internal) presentations and trainings.
• Participating actively to regular meetings with the project people during which workload, technical issues, project follow-up, development strategy and transversal activity coordination are discussed.
