  Reporting to the SMR Chief Manufacturing Engineer, I am responsible for the design, development and delivery of manufacturing methods, capabilities and factory solutions to meet the SMR business needs. I am accountable for defining and implementing the systems-enabled workflows and standards to convert the digital design definition into a physical realisation for the manufacture of large-scale nuclear pressure vessel and plant module products. By developing agile implementation strategies (e.g. machining strategies and standardisation, delivery of inspection processes and programmes and capture of “digital twin” data) downstream automated consumption is maximised whilst authoring and change management burden is minimised.
