As Resident Senior Design Engineer – Doel in our Design Brussels Civil Works department of the Metier ‘Civil Engineering & Infra’, part of the Business Area Gas, Energy and Nuclear, you will contribute to our mission by playing a crucial role in a wide variety of civil engineering design activities. Those activities range from newbuild projects that often run over several years, short‑term renovation projects as well as ad‑hoc assistance. We cover the full life span of projects, so you can be involved in all design stages, be it conceptual, basic, detail, or execution design, as well as construction follow‑up including non‑conformance resolution and modification requests. As Resident Design Engineer in the Doel Nuclear Power Station, you are the Brussels Design Team antenna in Doel. Depending on your professional track record, a bespoke onboarding plan will be established for you to absorb the context (technical, quality assurance, nuclear safety…). At the beginning of your assignment, you therefore will regularly be in Brussels as well (2 days per week).
Are you ready to make a difference? Then we look forward to meeting you!
