Thermalhydraulic and nuclear safety expert

Our client, an innovative company committed to accelerating the availability of clean energy, is looking for an expert in thermal-hydraulics and nuclear safety.

You will be responsible for thermal-hydraulic and safety assessments, as well as licensing the design of a GEN4 reactor.

In this role you will:

• Set up thermohydraulic models to (partially) simulate the reactor system
• Contribute to definition and justification of the safety case
• Contribute or establish effective coupling with other codes and results from other disciplines, such as core physics and thermomechanics
• Contribute to the development of experimental facilities, and code validation
• Create transparency on development progress, identify issues and propose solutions that will help team problem-solving and design integration
• Implement a learning loop and ensure lessons learned are systematically captured
• Keep the team engaged and stakeholders informed
• Report to the CTO.

About you:

• You have a Master’s degree in science or engineering, experience in the nuclear field is a plus
• You have minimum 5 to 8 years of proven experience in the (nuclear) thermal hydraulic and (nuclear) safety field. A PhD is regarded work experience, if the subject of study is relevant to the job position
• Experience with nuclear technology, particularly where thermohydraulics meet nuclear safety assessment, is regarded a plus
• Experience with code validation, and the development and operation of experimental facilities is regarded a plus
• You work well in a team and have a keen interest in other disciplines and new technology
• You are a fast learner who is able to see the bigger picture in complex multi-disciplinary projects
• You solve problems creatively, feel responsibility automatically, and know when to ask for help
• You are an excellent communicator in English and French, both spoken and written
• You are a hands-on self-starter who likes to work in a multicultural and dynamic environment that is growing fast
