Do you want to shape the future of nuclear energy? Join Blykalla as Plant Layout Engineer and help design Sealer-E, our pioneering demonstration plant in Oskarshamn, enabling a safe, clean, and scalable energy future.

What we do at Blykalla

Blykalla is developing the next generation of nuclear technology with our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) based on innovative fuel, materials, and reactor designs. As Sweden's only SMR developer, we are on a mission to decarbonize industries and enable safe, scalable, and sustainable energy solutions. Our technology uses uranium nitride fuel and lead coolant, creating novel challenges and opportunities for the fuel cycle and supporting systems

What you’ll get to do

As Plant Layout Engineer, you will take a central role in the facility design of Sealer-E, Blykalla's demonstration plant under construction in Oskarshamn. This full-scale test facility includes an electrically heated test reactor and associated systems. The role focuses on developing the integrated 3D plant model and designing overall facility structures, piping, and supports in close collaboration with mechanical, nuclear, and civil engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the integrated 3D plant model of the Sealer-E facility.

• Design plant structures, piping systems, and mechanical supports in line with industrial standards.

• Ensure optimal facility layout with regard to operations, maintenance, and safety.

• Coordinate design work across disciplines and manage technical interfaces between systems.

• Implement digital workflows, including MBSE, PLM, and digital twin development.

• Collaborate with partners, sub-suppliers, and external stakeholders to secure integrated solutions.

• Contribute to procurement processes and participate in design reviews.
