About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree from an engineering school or equivalent university qualification at Bac+5, specializing in mechanics, physics, or civil engineering.
  • At least five years of successful experience in safety analysis, industrial risk engineering, or preferably nuclear safety, in demanding environments such as nuclear, defense, or high-risk industries.
  • Mastery of risk-analysis methods, including preliminary risk analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, and event and fault trees.
  • Strong knowledge of safety demonstration approaches and the defense-in-depth principle.
  • Ability to characterize accidental environments arising from internal or external hazards, including natural hazards and human activities.
  • Ability to integrate summaries of calculation notes related to internal and external hazards.
  • Strong report-writing and synthesis skills for producing rigorous safety reports.
  • Advanced English and French proficiency is mandatory.
  • The position may require access to information covered by national defense secrecy and therefore require security authorization under applicable French defense regulations.
  • Maintain confidentiality.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct risk studies, including preliminary risk analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, and HAZOP, to identify incident and accident scenarios.
  • Characterize normal and accidental environments and define safety barriers and their associated technical requirements.
  • Develop and write safety cases demonstrating that safety objectives are met.
  • Define, justify, and document safety barriers, their independence, and their specified requirements.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary systems, structures, implementation-means, and operations teams to integrate safety from design through construction, qualification, and operation.
  • Participate in technical reviews with clients and project stakeholders.
  • Apply nuclear safety standards, reference frameworks, and good practices; maintain analysis traceability, justify technical choices, and contribute to client discussions.
  • Capture lessons learned to improve methods and tools.
  • Occasionally support the development of junior colleagues' skills.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of civil engineering design and construction, including structural and finishing works.
  • Knowledge of handling-equipment design.
  • Knowledge of systems engineering for protection against hazards such as fire, explosion, flooding, earthquakes, and lightning.
  • Systems engineering knowledge.
