Our Mission

At Rolls-Royce SMR, we're transforming the future of clean energy by developing next-generation nuclear power stations that will deliver reliable, low-carbon electricity for generations to come. This is an opportunity to contribute to one of the UK's most ambitious engineering programmes and play a role in delivering a sustainable energy future.

What You'll Bring

  • Knowledge of Human Factors methods and an understanding of how they can be applied to complex engineering, operational or safety-critical environments.
  • Experience of, or an interest in, areas such as task analysis, layout assessment, operator performance, usability, Human Reliability Assessment or Human Machine Interface development.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams.
  • A proactive and curious mindset with the willingness to learn, develop and contribute to an innovative and inclusive engineering environment.
