Jake Kinghorn-Mills

Jake joined MCM Environmental Services in April 2018 to conduct his master thesis during a 6-month internship as part of his double degree - ‘European Masters In Nuclear Energy’, MSc course. The internship saw him exposed to projects focused on requirements management, conceptual design, design development and programme management, whilst his thesis - ‘Using Requirements Management to Communicate Strength in Depth for Geological Disposal’, focused on the feasibility of a requirements management system (RMS) for a UK geological disposal facility (GDF) and its potential use for internal (cross-discipline and hierarchical) and external (regulatory and general public) communication of safety integrated design.

Having spent a year studying nuclear engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden and a year specialising in decommissioning and waste management at Université Paris-Saclay, France, Jake has received MSc degrees from both institutions. During this 2-year integrated master course, Jake took part in courses at the Aspo Hard Rock Laboratory in Oskarshamn, Sweden, the Onkalo Underground Rock Characterisation Facility in Olkiluoto, Finland and the École de Management in Grenoble, France.

Prior to his career in the nuclear industry, Jake spent four years working as a systems, testing and integration engineer in the defence sector having graduated from Cardiff University with a 1st class Physics degree.

Jake is now supporting the MCM team as a consultant, delivering systems engineering expertise from beyond the nuclear sector, with a technical understanding of nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management issues and supporting our clients in various projects focused on requirements management, knowledge management and technical integration.
