Appel à candidature pour le recrutement d’un Ingénieur en protection des investissements à la  Réunion basé à Saint-Paul.

As an Investment Protection Engineer, you will play a key role in the team that defines and co-ordinates the implementation of the Investment Protection (IP) strategy of ITER Machine, transversally and of individual plant systems.

You will implement the ITER risk assessment process (methodology) in collaboration with the plant systems’ responsible officers and work closely with system experts and fusion specialists on site, in addition to external stakeholders to ensure successful global operation of the plant/associated systems.

Background

This role will play an active part in the Machine Protection Panel (MPP) which falls under the responsibility of the Operations Division. The MPP is responsible for the definition and final development of the Investment Protection Functions at ITER to prevent or guarantee that loss of investment will not occur due to any fault or failure in Structures, Systems or Components. Such failure may be direct, through the action of other Systems or due to events related to the operation of the plant or the plasma.

• Performs transversal operational risk analysis and assessment (based on FMEA and HAZOP methodology) of the ITER plant systems, required to define the IP strategy for the ITER operation;
• Identifies the IP strategy for any given plant systems during ITER operation in liaison with the plant system’s Responsible Officer;
• Manages the IP Risk Register, in line with the ITER Policy for Investment Protection and identifies risks then makes recommendations to mitigate them;
• Leads MPP technical activities in support to the MPP Chair & produces technical documentation such as: IP plans for any given individual system and for the overall operation of the ITER tokamak and then derived IP functions specification documents;
• Follows the principles of the industry functional safety standards (i.e. IEC-61508) for protection functions identification and lifecycle management;
• Contributes to the Integrated Commissioning plan for the IP functions at ITER;
• Liaises with the Central Interlock System and the plant systems teams to assure a proper transfer of the functional specifications to the control systems in charge of the implementation;
• Implements Risk reduction and Opportunities management; defines and implements optimization, as well as needed recovery, mitigation or acceleration;
• May be requested to perform other duties in support of the project;
• May be required to work outside the ITER Organization (IO) reference working hours, including nights, week-ends and public holidays.

• Proactively communicates with the stakeholders for the different systems;
• Ensures that the risk assessment is provided on time to allow the assessment and definition of the IP functions required for system commissioning;
• Ensures effective co-ordination of the IP functions with the Integrated Commissioning steps;
• Executes the tasks in co-ordination with the Machine Protection Panel in a prompt, proactive manner;
• Produces high quality documentation for the IP functions technical specifications definition;
• Ensures compliance of the IP functions technical specifications with the other MPP relevant documentation and the ITER high level documentation;
• Promptly report to the MPP chair/co-chair identified possible risks which require prompt action from all stakeholders.

Professional Experience:

Minimum of 8 years’ experience working as an engineer in the fields of risk assessment for either machine or systems investment protection, and/or operations experience in large industrial, research or nuclear facilities.

Education:

• • Master’s Degree or equivalent in engineering, physics or other relevant discipline;
  • The required education degree may be substituted by extensive professional experience involving similar work responsibilities and/or additional training certificates in relevant domains.

Language requirements:

• • Fluent in English (written and spoken).

Technical competencies and demonstrated experience in:

• • Specialized Domains of Expertise (Risk Assessment): for complex systems using FMEA and HAZOP methodology;
  • International standards applicable to machine protection (e.g.: IEC 61508);
  • Quality management: knowledge of requirements, methods, and practices for international quality standards;
  • Planning: identify the steps and related timing to reach goals and execute initiatives within timeline;
  • Problem solving: assess problems, identify root causes, and reach solutions to reach project objectives within time and/or cost;
  • Presentation writing: write, review, and present technical documents in the domain of expertise, transmitting knowledge and data with precision;
  • Experience in fusion operation is a plus as it is key to understand how plant systems interact in the context of fault propagation and mitigation.
  • A previous usage of a MSBA (Model Safety Based Analysis) software tool would be a plus

IO Core Behavioral competencies:

• • Collaborate: Ability to facilitate dialogue with a wide variety of contributors and stakeholders;
  • Communicate Effectively: Ability to adjust communication content and style to deliver messages to work effectively in a multi-cultural environment;
  • Drive results: Ability to persist in the face of challenges to meet deadlines with high standards;
  • Manage Complexity: Ability to analyze multiple and diverse sources of information to understand problems accurately before moving to proposals;
  • Instill trust: Ability to apply high standards of team mindset, trust, excellence, loyalty and integrity.

Additional Behavioral Competencies:

• • Build networks: Ability to build effectively formal and informal relationship network inside and outside the organization;
  • Be resilient: ability to rebound from setbacks and adversity when facing difficult situations.
