Mechanical Engineer - UK Defence Project

For more than 70 years, Atomic Weapons Enterprise (AWE) has supported the UK Government's nuclear defence strategy and the Continuous At Sea Deterrent.

They use nuclear know-how and technical expertise to provide innovative solutions that support the UK's counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction activities.

Like Bechtel, they create and maintain a safe operating culture where safety is front and centre of everything they do.

From building state-of-the-art facilities, to supporting Production, Science, Engineering and Technology programmes, the management of Environment, Safety, Health and Wellbeing underpins all activities at AWE.

This position is for a Mechanical Engineer who will work a multi-year United Kingdom (UK) nuclear infrastructure programme for which Bechtel are the Technical Partner (covering Project Management and Engineering services).

This project is at the conceptual design phases driving a programme involving a multi-billion investment in nuclear and non-nuclear facilities.

We are looking for a proactive and driven Mechanical Engineer who will support a Project Engineering Manager as the technical representative for engineering activities related to the planning, design, execution, and closeout of mechanical related activities.

You will assist in conceptual engineering design efforts, which may include the delivery of technical documents, execution of engineering schedule activities, quality checks, and overall project delivery.

You will be involved in preparing technical reports, studies, design and procurement documentation, and calculations using engineering software, and supporting systems.

You will have the ability to work independently, use engineering judgment, and devise new approaches to solving problems.

In addition, you will help others and respond to requests for help in solving technical or procedural problems or issues.

You will be responsible for assisting with discipline work process execution in a technically adequate manner and in accordance with company, contract, and industry codes and standards.

Conduct and coordinate conceptual and detailed phases of engineering work in accordance with company, contract, and industry codes and standard.

Apply engineering principles for the analysis and design of structures, systems, and components.

Perform work that involves conventional engineering practice but may include complex features such as resolving conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional materials and/or difficult coordination requirements.

Have extensive technical knowledge of engineering systems, engineering calculations, applications of engineering methods and materials, and applications of 2-D and 3-D computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) to resolve engineering problems.

Ensure the design is cost effective, in accordance with applicable safety, health, environmental regulations, customer requirements and engineering codes & standards.

Effectively communicate design requirements and status across the project, and to customers, vendors, construction, and other organisations.
Coordinate with the Systems Engineering group and other groups in development of project and system requirements.

Must have bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from an accredited university or college with extensive and relevant EPC/EPCM design experience on major infrastructure projects.

Must have working knowledge of engineering procedures, covering discipline deliverables, production & control.
Working knowledge of mechanical design software (e.g. Strong knowledge of industry/regulatory codes and standards, engineering processes and design criteria.
General understanding of mechanical design processes and deliverables of other engineering disciplines.

Working knowledge of related non‐reactor nuclear codes, standards, best practice non-reactor nuclear/hazardous mechanical confinement systems, and knowledge in generation of engineering documents in a nuclear environment.

Experience in front end design and equipment selection for nuclear, or nuclear chemical facilities including cranes, and other material handling equipment.

Chartered Engineer (IMechE) at least 12 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience.
