Jonathan is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and Engineering Manager with 14 years of experience across the UK and French nuclear sectors. He specialises in complex technical integration, safety case delivery, and regulatory strategy. Supporting clients such as EDF, Framatome, and Great British Nuclear, his work spans small modular reactor technology assessment, fuel export safety cases, and engineering replication strategies. At EDF Sizewell B, he has led safety case development for dry fuel storage and large capital projects, shaping early-stage strategy and stakeholder engagement.
His advisory roles include evaluating technical tenders for Great British Nuclear via Arup and contributing to SMR selection and organisational development. As Design Authority Lead at newcleo, he led system engineering for fuel route design and developed licensing documentation for GDA preparation. At Sizewell C’s MEH Alliance, he established the engineering delivery framework for a £4bn scope, integrating technical assurance with supplier collaboration. His work at ITER involved defining drainage networks for activated effluents and producing key design documentation.
Jonathan’s expertise in reactor licensing and safety case development extends to his role at Hitachi-GE, where he led ABWR GDA safety case efforts, producing ALARP assessments and coordinating ONR submissions. Earlier in his career, he oversaw critical engineering upgrades at EDF, delivering piping improvements and polar crane system installations while ensuring rigorous test and commissioning standards. His leadership across complex engineering initiatives demonstrates his ability to combine technical precision with strategic oversight.
