Hannah Hamer

Hannah is a process-focused technical engineer with hands-on experience across design, construction, and commissioning phases in the UK nuclear sector. Having worked in both contractor and client-side roles, she combines strong technical capability with an adaptable, delivery-driven mindset, developed through complex project environments and high-pressure outage scenarios. 

With a background that spans concept design through to on-site execution, Hannah brings particular expertise in water treatment systems, pipework specification, and outage coordination. She has led the replacement of Varivoid sand filters in nuclear fuel ponds, managing optioneering, design documentation, procurement, and vendor integration. Her site-based experience includes managing bulk maintenance packages during PWR outages with Framatome, and leading engineering delivery for gas circulator oil systems during outages with Cavendish. 

Hannah has also supported the installation and commissioning of process pipework systems, resolving technical issues and ensuring system readiness. Her academic work on modular water treatment solutions for SMRs reflects a forward-thinking approach to deployable, low-impact system design. Skilled in managing technical risk and ensuring compliance with safety case and environmental requirements, Hannah is a confident and collaborative presence on multidisciplinary teams.
