Hanwha Ocean announced on the 12th that it is recruiting specialized personnel in the field of nuclear-powered vessels until the 25th of this month. In response to the government's ongoing nuclear-powered submarine project, the company has established a dedicated organization called the "Jang Bogo N Development Team" and begun securing relevant specialized talent.
This recruitment aims to internalize core technologies related to nuclear-powered submarines and proactively build the infrastructure necessary for project execution. As the only company that participated in the construction of all of the Navy's "Jang Bogo I, II, and III" submarines, Hanwha Ocean plans to continue expanding its recruitment of relevant personnel based on decades of accumulated submarine construction expertise. Through this, the company aims to strengthen its competitiveness in next-generation vessel technology and prepare for the future maritime defense market.
Centered on the newly established organization, Hanwha Ocean will unify external cooperation channels with related institutional investors such as the government and the Navy, and build an organic cooperation system to promptly reflect customer needs. Through this, the company aims to consolidate the capabilities of outstanding talent in the nuclear field and contribute to securing the future core combat power of the Republic of Korea Navy through future project bids and completion.
Hanwha Ocean will recruit experts with more than five years of experience in five core areas related to nuclear-powered vessels. Specifically, these include: "Nuclear-Power-Propulsion System Linkage Design," which involves analyzing technical requirements and design deliverables for propulsion systems and system integration; "Piping-Layout and Stress Analysis Engineering," which ensures the integrity of system placement and piping-support structures tailored to the confined in-vessel environment; "Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Linkage Design," responsible for reviewing the design of nuclear system instrumentation and control circuits and designing interfaces between the I&C systems and the vessel; "Nuclear Licensing and Safety Regulation," which involves analyzing nuclear-related laws and safety regulations and formulating response strategies; and "Nuclear Quality," which focuses on establishing and verifying quality assurance and management systems across the entire nuclear system.
Choi Jung-hoon, head of the Jang Bogo N Development Team in Hanwha Ocean's Special Vessel Division, stated, "Our Special Vessel Division leads the Republic of Korea's vessel industry based on world-class vessel technology." He added, "Unlike existing land-based and civilian ship reactors, we will proactively recruit nuclear specialists to prepare for a completely new reactor environment involving sharp turns, rapid maneuvers, and explosion shock mitigation, thereby diligently preparing for this national core project."
