Additional Responsibilities:
- Define and implement strategies for efficient electrical system design processes, from robotic work cells to complex remote handling plants.
- Lead the electrical design delivery for large, complex robotics projects, managing resources, budgets, schedules, and ensuring high-quality output.
- Develop standardised approaches to electrical design in collaboration with project engineers, delivering robust and verified circuits for enhanced project efficiency.
- Evaluate electrical CAD designs through peer reviews to ensure compliance with relevant standards and directives, and provide documentation to support compliance.
- Authorise major project milestones and reports, while collaborating with UKAEA departments to establish global electrical processes for organisational growth.
- Promote a strong safety culture, manage contract engagements for low/medium value engineering projects, and oversee staff development within the Electrical Systems Design Group.
