WHAT WE DO AT BLYKALLA
Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company at the forefront of the nuclear industry, pioneering the development of small modular
reactors that provide clean, safe, and reliable energy. Thanks to lead-cooling, we achieve high safety in a very compact format,
allowing for a simple and cost-effective design that can be mass-produced. Our unique reactor design will provide safe and green
baseload energy that perfectly complements solar and wind power.
WHAT YOU’LL GET TO DO
Blykalla's Advanced Reactor Testing Site (ARTS) in Oskarshamn tests components and systems for the SEALER programme, working with
lead, gases, and chemical substances under a structured safety and quality framework. We're looking for an HSEQ Engineer to own
the practical, on-site execution of health, safety, environmental, and quality programmes as test rig activity scales up.
As HSEQ Engineer, you will own the day-to-day execution of health, safety, chemical, and quality practice at ARTS, working
alongside the Test & Operations team and interfacing with SMR AB and OKG site personnel where activities overlap.
Hazardous Materials & Substance Safety
- Own execution of the site's lead hazard management programme, including risk assessment, occupational health surveillance
coordination, and contamination control.
Manage chemical and gas safety, including the chemical inventory and safe handling of inert gases and hydrogen.
Risk Assessment & Work Environment
Facilitate work environment risk assessments across test rig operations, keeping the risk register current as activity evolves.
Own PPE programme governance and site standards for changing and decontamination facilities.
Quality, Incidents & Continuous Improvement
Participate in the annual Systematic Work Environment Management (SAM) cycle.
Act as first point of contact for incident and near-miss registration and initial response on-site.
Maintain calibration, equipment integrity, and safety records, and perform / support internal audits.
Reporting Line
This role reports to the ARTS Site Manager (Oskarshamn-based) for day-to-day work, and functionally to the HSEQ Manager
(Stockholm-based), who owns the HSEQ programme, policy, statutory reporting, and Major/Critical incident ownership. This is an
execution role - it is not a second HSEQ Manager, and it carries no line authority over site personnel.
Where This Role Can Take You
As ARTS scales toward SEALER-E, this role has room to grow into ownership of specific programme areas as the site's HSEQ function
matures and builds out.
WHO YOU ARE
You will be part of a highly skilled team with a can-do attitude. We value personnel chemistry and strive to create a workplace
where you enjoy coming to. You're a hands-on engineer who's as comfortable in the field checking practice as you are updating a
register. You take ownership of your subject area without needing detailed instruction, and you know the difference between your
own decision-making authority and when something needs to go to the Site Manager or HSEQ Manager.
We believe you have:
- A relevant engineering degree (mechanical, nuclear, industrial, or similar) and relevant training in HSE, occupational health
and safety, chemical safety, or a related field.
Practical experience with work environment risk assessment and systematic work environment management (SAM or equivalent)
Understanding of quality and operational frameworks (e.g. ISO 9001, 14001, NQA-1 or similar)
Familiarity with work environment regulations (e.g. AFS) and HSE responsibilities
Experience handling hazardous materials, ideally including lead or other CMR substances.
Experience with chemical inventory and safety data sheet (SDS) management.
Comfortable facilitating risk assessments directly with technical teams on live equipment.
Experience in auditing or supports of audits (HSE and / or Q)
Fluency in Swedish and English.
