Nuclear Safety Engineer

The nuclear safety engineer participates in the definition and evaluation of all the provisions to guarantee the safety of installations and prevent incidents. His/her mission is to protect man and the environment from the dispersion of radioactive materials. 

Initially, you work as part of a long-term safety support project for the La Hague plant. In collaboration with technical (mechanical, thermal, process, etc.) and safety / safety calculations teams of the La Hague's operator, with the support of our technical referents and under the supervision and guidance of our manager, you will mainly work on studies and monitoring related to the safety of the La Hague plant (monitoring indicators and requirements, annual safety review, responses to ASN requests, incident reports, safety analyzes / demonstrations, etc). This work concerns all the risks that may be present :

• internal nuclear risks: dispersion of radioactive materials, external exposure, criticity, thermal power,
• internal or external non-nuclear risks: handling, fire, explosion, flooding, pressure vessels, co-activity, earthquake, etc

In the medium term, the scope of the post may be extended to include other types of safety studies: fire risk, explosion, transport of radioactive materials, etc.

Technical prerequisites (for the rest, you will be accompanied in your rise in competence):

• You have an engineering degree (Specialities: mechanics, atomic engineering, environment, nuclear energy,...)
• You have previous experience in the nuclear sector
• You know how to write clear (and flawless!) documents.

But also :

• You are very adaptable.
• Your thoroughness is appreciated
• A sense of service is part of your DNA
• You have a strong taste for teamwork.
• And of course, you recognize yourself in our values...
