Project engineer - Nuclear manufacturing

Your mission:
The Mechanical Engineering Service is part of the ILL's Reactor Division and is responsible for the maintenance
of the technical equipment associated with the high-flux reactor. Reporting to the Head of Service, you will
be responsible for monitoring the manufacture of a number of spare components for the reactor block and
will assist with the updating of regulatory compliance documents for nuclear pressure equipment (known as
ESPN - Equipements Sous Pression Nucléaires). In this context, you will work under the supervision of a senior
engineer, who is in charge of mechanical manufacturing projects and is also the Institute's ESPN expert.

Your main tasks will be to:
- Draft the manufacturing specifications
- Check the component drawings produced by the design office
- Produce the technical documentation for calls for tender and select manufacturers
- Produce the manufacturing documentation necessary for conformity assessment by the relevant approved
certified body
- Monitor the manufacturing stages (procurement, machining, inspection, validation, gap analysis, etc.)
- Validate the final acceptance of the equipment
- Update the internal regulatory documents relating to the reactor (list of conditions and loadings, etc.).

Your profile:
- Level 7 qualification (Master's degree or equivalent) specialising in mechanical engineering or metallurgy
- At least 5 years' professional experience, in particular in the monitoring of manufacturing within a nuclear
quality assurance framework
- Knowledge of regulations governing nuclear pressure equipment (ESPN) and of design and construction
codes of the type RCC-MRx (or RCC-M) for mechanical components for reactors
- Knowledge of metalworking and welding (GMAW/MIG, GTAW/TIG or electron beam), ideally on the
aluminium alloy Ag3Net, stainless steel or zircaloy
- Excellent writing skills (procedures, technical specifications, etc.)
- You have excellent interpersonal skills and will be required to work with several different actors (workshop
staff, suppliers, inspection bodies).
