Senior Chemical Process Engineer - Submarines

Job Title: Senior Chemical Process Engineer Full-Time / Hybrid – Derby, Raynesway We are looking for capable, experienced and proactive individuals to join our growing team and be responsible for leading chemical process engineering packages. These are high-impact roles, ideal for experienced engineers who thrive on technical complexity, process rigour and innovation with purpose. This is an opportunity to use your deep experience in chemical engineering to contribute to the regeneration of the Raynesway Nuclear Licenced Site. This major infrastructure programme is replacing current facilities with modern state-of-the-art manufacturing capability. You will work across multiple projects and lifecycle stages to ensure that areas under your responsibility meet engineering and project requirements. You will interact with stakeholders internal and external to the business and will be supported by a community of around 3,000 engineers in the Submarines business with training and development to help you grow in-role.

Ensure that principles of inherent safety, hierarchy of controls and simplification are embedded into the design. Lead the development of requirements and design options for chemical engineering packages. Provide assurance that requirements are appropriately incorporated into design and construction. Ensure chemical engineering within the project is carried out in accordance with required engineering and project processes. Review and accept chemical engineering documentation and drawings produced by the external supply chain. Contribute to the production of engineering processes, plans and strategies. Produce applicable aspects of safety and environmental documentation. Implement engineering controls on chemical process engineering work carried out internally and in the external supply chain. Ensure chemical process systems are adequately commissioned and decommissioned. Support the Engineering Manager in ensuring suitably qualified and experienced persons (SQEP) both internally and in the external supply chain perform chemical engineering work. Provide technical authority, mentorship and review input for junior engineers and cross-functional design teams. Qualifications
