Title: HVAC System Engineer

System design study

Activities to be carried out as part of the service:

HVAC System Engineering Service consists in and/or support all activities performed by engineers in the HVAC Systems team. Those activities comprise:

System design and system integration into overall HPC and SZC design

• Review and update the system documentation, as well as formulating the mechanical, electrical, nuclear safety, and control logic requirements in compliance with the engineering rules, methodologies, quality processes, and tools
• Analysis and verification of input data, requirements, and lessons learnt from other stations
• Sizing of components e.g. pumps, pipework, fans, tanks, performing thermal-hydraulic calculation and modelling with in house or commercial tools
• Support to procurement team in formulation of technical specification and supplier surveillance

Modification and configuration management

• Managing requests for modifications to system(s) checking their applicability
• Develop and present technical solutions suitable for all impacted disciplines that support design stability strategy

• Solve technically challenging and multi-disciplinary open points in a timely proactive manner

I&C design of systems including

• Applying EDF EPR engineering rules applicable for I&C design e.g. for platform allocation
• Defining the I&C functional requirements cascading the requirements from key safety inputs to ensure the safety case is respected
• Using the I&c tools available in EPR-E, define the I&C logic, write the test procedure and teste the control, define the HMI in the Control Room
• Producing / updating the I&C parts of the System Design Manual
• Performing technical peer reviews of I&C documents produced by other engineers in the team

Participation in the preparation to commissioning strategy of systems

• Attend kick off meeting and maturity reviews
• Produce updated documentation and / or redlines as required
• Support the commissioning teams with system inputs needed to the production of the documentation required for the commissioning sequence

Proactive and positive engagement with all stakeholders around the HVAC systems to ensure the delivery of a product meeting the requirements set by all disciplines (layout, civil, hazard, nuclear safety, environment, configuration management, procurement …)
