Are you an ambitious Project Manager looking to tackle one of the UK's biggest challenges?
Do you have an interest in developing the next generation of nuclear engineering techniques that will underpin the UK's nuclear rebuild?
Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research-intensive Universities?
As Project Manager, you will work at the School of Chemical and Process Engineering (SCAPE) on the build of a new research facility. EPSRC has announced that the University of Leeds, led by SCAPE, is the latest institution to join the UK's National Nuclear User Facility ( NNUF ). The NNUF project is a Government investment in the UK's nuclear future, providing state-of-the-art experimental facilities for research and development in nuclear science and technology.
The project will define, design and build a multiphase fluid flow facility, MUFFIN (MUltiphase Fluid Flow In Nuclear systems), with the dedicated aim to enable world class research on multiphase fluid flow, at a scale that is representative of a real system.
As well as managing the construction of the plant and equipment, the role includes management of building refurbishment to create a bespoke area for the rigs. Detailed design of the rigs will need to be carried out by design engineers, so tendering, letting and managing this contract will be part of the duties of the Project Manager. It is envisaged that MUFFIN will be fully web connected to allow remote access and operation, so design and build of the electrical, control and instrumentation components will be necessary and a key part of the project.
The Project Manager will report directly to the Principal Investigator for the project (Prof. Bruce Hanson) and work closely with the Academic team who will provide technical input.

Please note: If you are not a British or Irish citizen, from 1 January 2021 you will require permission to work in the UK. This will normally be in the form of a visa but, if you are an EEA/Swiss citizen and resident in the UK before 31 December 2020, this may be your passport or status under the EU Settlement Scheme.
