Electrical Design Engineer (Control & Instrumentation) Engineer

Full Time

Warrington/ Hybrid

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Rolls-Royce as a Electrical Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) Engineer working in Civil Nuclear.

As a systems design & integration engineer you will contribute to the development and delivery of complex systems with a bias towards the Electrical, Control and Instrumentation (EC&I) aspects. Your main focus will be to ensure that customer and regulatory requirements are understood, clearly articulated to personnel/organisations responsible for designing and supplying equipment, and to appropriately manage them throughout the design process.

In doing so you will need to fully understand and undertake design schemes of electrical and control architectures associated with the project you are involved with. The ideal candidate will be able to understand not only the EC&I aspects of the project but will have an appreciation of Mechanical and Civil disciplines sufficient to manage associated interfaces and integrate activities conducted by specialists in these disciplines.
