- Analyse and verification of input data, requirements, and lessons learnt from other stations.
- Sizing of components e.g. pumps, pipework, fans, tanks, performing thermal-hydraulic calculation and modelling with in-house or commercial tools.
- Support to procurement team in formulation of technical specification and supplier surveillance.
Modification and configuration management:
- Manage requests for modifications to system(s) checking their applicability.
- Develop and present technical solutions suitable for all impacted disciplines that support design stability strategy.
- Solve technically challenging and multi-disciplinary open points in a timely pro-active manner.
I&C design of systems including:
- Apply client’s engineering rules applicable for I&C design e.g. for platform allocation.
- Define the I&C functional requirements cascading the requirements from key safety inputs to ensure the safety case is respected.
- Use the I&C tools available, define the I&C logic, write the test procedure and test the control, define the HMI in the Control Room.
- Produce and update the I&C parts of the System Design Manual.
- Perform technical peer reviews of I&C documents produced by other engineers in the team.
Participation in the preparation of commissioning strategy of systems:
- Attend kick-off meetings and maturity reviews.
