CE&I Designer

CE&I Designer – Nuclear Decommissioning Projects (General Overview) Role Summary: The CE&I (Control, Electrical & Instrumentation) Designer supports nuclear decommissioning and legacy facility projects by producing high-quality design packages, drawings, and technical documentation. The role involves working within multi-disciplinary teams to develop safe, compliant, and fit-for-purpose CE&I solutions aligned with project requirements, industry standards, and regulatory expectations. Key Responsibilities * Develop CE&I design deliverables including: * Electrical schematics * Cable routing layouts * Loop diagrams and termination drawings * Instrumentation data sheets * Control system architecture drawings * Support the production of design documentation such as Basis of Design, Technical Specifications, Calculations, and Design Justification Reports. * Work within established nuclear design processes including configuration control, quality assurance procedures, and engineering change systems. * Collaborate with engineers from CE&I, mechanical, civil, and process disciplines to develop integrated design solutions for decommissioning equipment, handling systems, remote operations, and plant modifications. * Participate in design reviews, hazard studies (e.g., HAZOPs), and constructability assessments. * Produce designs suitable for construction, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and maintainability. Essential Skills & Experience * Experience in CE&I design within regulated industries, ideally nuclear or similarly high-hazard environments. * Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, or other electrical drafting tools. * Understanding of: * Low-voltage distribution * Instrumentation and control systems * Safety-related systems * Cable selection and routing * Familiarity with nuclear quality standards (e.g., BS, IEC, IEEE). * Ability to interpret engineering drawings and work within formal change-control processes. Desirable Experience * Previous involvement in decommissioning, remote handling, waste retrieval, or legacy plant upgrade projects. * Knowledge of Sellafield, Magnox, or other UK nuclear site processes and engineering workflows. * Experience supporting installation, commissioning, or testing phases. * Awareness of cybersecurity considerations for control systems. Personal Attributes * Detail-focused with a commitment to producing high-quality, compliant design output. * Strong problem-solving ability with a practical, safety-driven approach. * Able to work independently as well as collaboratively. * Comfortable working within structured, highly regulated environments
