Assystem Energy & Infrastructure Looking for Hvac Engineer at BS1, Bristol, City of Bristol Full Time

HVAC Engineer

Bristol / Bridgewater

Permanent

General Assignment

The System Engineer will be responsible for performing the necessary engineering analysis, including the supporting calculations, for a specific system(s) in order to produce the system documentation required for the HPC project working from either our Bristol office or later on-site as part of site engineering. The System Engineer will act as the central point of contact for system(s) which fall(s) under their responsibility. This role is for a System Engineer specialising in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning).

Responsible for system design and system integration into overall HPC design:

o Produce, Review and update the system documentation for the mechanical and thermo-hydraulic design, electrical, operator instructions, human machine interface, safety and environmental, control logic design, as well as periodic testing in compliance with the engineering rules, methodologies, quality processes, and tools

o Particularly for Instrumentation and Control, performing the analysis for defining the I&C Functional Requirements of the system and production of the I&C logic:

 Writing of the Instrumentation and Control Functional Requirements

 Writing of Detailed Functional Diagram (DFD)

 Writing of the FTP (Functional test platform procedure) specifications

 Analysis of the results of the FTP tests

 Writing of P5 text (I&C logic description)

 Writing of P6.x (alarms sheets, operating images, operating modes)

o Particularly for mechanical design:

 sizing of components e.g. pumps, fans, pipework, pressure relief valves, tanks

 Perform thermal-hydraulic calculation and modelling with in house or commercial tools

 Ensuring the 3D model is consistent with the intended system design

 Formulate equipment specification and provide the data in respective database or data sheet

 Support to procurement team in formulation of technical specification for contract documentation

 Support to procurement team in technical surveillance of supplier documentation

o Analysis and verification of input data, requirements, and lessons learnt from other stations

o Engage proactively with all stakeholders around the system in Edvance to ensure the delivery of a product meeting the requirements set by all disciplines (layout, civil, hazard, nuclear safety, environment, configuration management, procurement …)

o Contribute to topics around good practises, innovation, improvement of processes, and quality

o Participate in experience sharing activities within the discipline

 Management of modifications related to the system including:

o Managing requests for modifications to system(s) issued by various external parties by producing specifications and following engineering cycle (I&C and/or mechanical design changes specifications)

o Analysis and verification of the applicability of these modifications and challenging them as appropriate

o Developing technical solutions and presenting them to the client to help resolve technical issues (technico-economic optimisation approach)

o Utilising the electronic Engineering Change Management tool

• in communicating with others, particularly those based in remote offices including France and Germany
• Proactive in developing positive working relations with others within the project
• Continuously looking for opportunities to improve quality of engineering studies and the subsequent documentation produced
