  • Consulting with safety case, external hazard and internal hazard personnel on the development and substantiation of safety functional requirements.
  • Leadership of multidisciplinary projects, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.
  • Managing and mentoring multiple team members, developing junior engineers, and providing technical oversight.
  • Client and stakeholder engagement, understanding their needs and delivering innovative solutions.
  • Strategic business development, including writing bids, securing new work, and expanding client relationships.
What You Can Bring:
  • A chartered status with a recognised civil or structural engineering institution (IStructE, ICE, or equivalent).
  • A passion for leading and inspiring teams while fostering technical excellence.
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to influence clients, develop business opportunities, and secure projects.
  • The ability to think innovatively, simplify complex problems, and deliver practical, proportionate solutions.
  • Enthusiasm for supporting and shaping the future of the UK's nuclear energy sector.
