**Job Title**
Mechanical Engineer – Specialist in Pressurized Nuclear Equipment (H/F)
**Role Summary**
Mechanical Engineer with expertise in nuclear pressurized equipment, responsible for safety analysis, technical evaluation, and expert reporting on equipment performance under various operational and environmental conditions. Works within a nuclear safety authority structure, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders.
**Expectations**
- Conduct safety-focused assessments of pressurized nuclear equipment (cuvettes, steam generators, primary/secondary piping) and handling machinery (cranes, lorries, transcoders).
- Apply industry codes and standards, primarily NF EN 13001, FEM lifting rules, RCC-M, CODAP, and RCC-Mx.
- Manage technical exchanges with plant operators, convene reviews, and produce clear, technically supported recommendations.
- Participate in internal validation sessions and expert panels (GPE).
- Perform scientific and technical monitoring, identify knowledge gaps, and propose or oversee R&D initiatives.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. Analyse technical dossiers from nuclear plant operators from a safety perspective.
2. Execute safety analyses for pressurized equipment and handling systems under varying loads (temperature, pressure, vibration, seismic).
3. Coordinate cross-disciplinary consultations with thermohydraulic, mechanical, and other relevant units as needed.
4. Produce authoritative safety findings in the form of expert opinions and concise technical reports.
5. Present and defend conclusions during internal validation meetings and expert group sessions.
6. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of regulations, standards, and emerging technologies in the field.
7. Identify new research or development opportunities and support their initiation or follow-up.
8. Travel to domestic and international sites as required.

- Proven critical thinking and analytical capability.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to defend technical positions.
- Team orientation with experience in collaborative multidisciplinary projects.
- Familiarity with safety and quality assurance processes in nuclear engineering context.
- Ability to synthesize complex technical information into clear, concise reports.
**Required Education & Certifications**
- Graduate from a recognized engineering school or equivalent university program with a specialization in mechanical engineering.
- Demonstrated professional experience in nuclear pressurized equipment, including design, verification, or safety assessment.
- Experience with handling equipment dimensioning or verification is advantageous.
- Knowledge of NF EN 13001, FEM lifting rules, RCC-M, CODAP, RCC-Mx, and related safety codes.
- No mandatory certifications specified, but familiarity with relevant regulatory documentation and safety standards is required.
