I&C Architect (MF)

Your future team

Following the governments announcements regarding the construction of new EPRs and the emergence of alternative solutions with smaller capacities (SMRs AMRs) the nuclear sector is entering a new era of growth accompanied by new technological challenges.

You will be joining our teams responsible for Control and Command projects for game-changing new players in the nuclear sector who are developing disruptive technologies centred on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs). As with high-power reactors the fuel cycle is a key element in the future operation of these innovative solutions. The manufacture of often specialised fuels requires dedicated industrial facilities in which I&C plays an essential role not only in plant operation but also in process safety and nuclear safety.

The post based in Avignon with the possibility of spending most of the time in Aix-en-Provence involves the role of I&C Architect which is essential for guiding the design choices of future systems taking into account regulatory and standard requirements production safety and security considerations as well as operational and maintenance constraints. Lessons learnt from previous decades are also part of the picture.

Your responsibilities

As a Nuclear I&C Architect within the fuel cycle (conventional systems functional safety systems and classified safety systems) based on the principles defined during the projects preliminary design phase you will lead and carry out the engineering studies for the I&C systems of the RNR MOX plant. Your main responsibilities will include:

-Defining the control and instrumentation requirements arising from studies of process systems utilities (fluids ventilation electricity) and nuclear safety (FOH radiation protection criticality)
-Defining and managing the functional requirements of the systems
-Participating in the development of technical deliverables for the Process/Safety/Security architectures
-Co-designing control and command systems whilst taking into account applicable safety requirements and interfaces with Level 2 (HMI) and Level 3 (MES) systems which are closely integrated with control and command in such facilities (production management / material accounting / criticality management)
-Define programming standards for Levels 1 and 2 of the systems
-Prepare for and participate in design reviews
