• Producing technical reviews recommending procurement of spare parts for mechanical, electrical, and I&C equipment.
• Managing equipment obsolescence during the project phase and recommending engineering solutions.
• Developing and implementing processes for spares management during both project and operational phases.
• Leading procurement of strategic spares, including technical reporting, manufacturing oversight (e.g., FATs, RRMs), and delivery coordination.
• Managing the standardised spares list to ensure timely delivery aligned with commissioning and maintenance schedules.
• Maintaining technical and functional interfaces with HPC departments, EPR Family Stations, and EDF Energy's existing nuclear business.
• Researching and applying operating experience from wider industries to enhance HPC performance.
