About the role: In this position, you will play a key role in nuclear safety, regulatory dialogue, and owner's engineering. As the domain is actively developing, much of the work involves navigating new terrain - meaning you won't just follow established rules, but actively help shape them. You will join a collaborative team of 12 professionals that is expanding to meet future demands. You won't be left alone: onboarding and strong team support will ensure you get up to speed smoothly while leaving room for your creative technical problem-solving.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Actively working with internal cross-functional teams, plant suppliers, and external authority bodies.
We are looking for: University-level study background in Energy Engineering, Physics, or a related field. Knowledge and practical experience in nuclear safety, preferably related to newbuild projects or power plant operations. Ability to think creatively while maintaining high technical rigor and precision, especially when working in areas where established frameworks are still being defined. Excellent command of written and spoken English is required. It is meritorious if you have: Proficiency in Finnish or Swedish. Prior experience in nuclear power plant operations, maintenance outages, or trainee programs.
