About the opportunities

The Defence & Security business at Jacobs provides an exciting mixture of consultancy, design and engineering support, along with delivery of challenging Defence projects, to major clients in the UK across the nuclear and defence industries, including (Ministry of Defence) HMNB Clyde, (Ministry of Defence) HMNB Devonport, BAES Barrow/Glasgow and AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) Aldermaston. Overseas, we are delivering similarly interesting and exciting projects across the globe including projects for clients in the Middle East and Australia.

As a Graduate Civil, Structural Engineer, you will join our specialist teams, looking at the most complex and technically demanding structural engineering problems for the nuclear industry . Each project is unique, but typically involves consideration of dynamic load effects due to extreme hazards, including seismic, blast, and impact. We have to look beyond code checks to get a deeper insight into structural response and failure mechanisms, considering ductility, nonlinear buckling, and soil structure interaction. We work things out as a team, starting from first principles, researching methodologies, challenging assumptions, thinking outside the box , and constantly learning.

We work to the highest standards. Our complex analysis models are rigorously validated . Everything we do has to be fully evidenced and justified through independent third-party review and ultimately to the nuclear safety Regulators. As a result, this is one of the most varied and challenging roles you can take on as a civil/structural/architectural engineer.

Opportunities are available in Barrow-in-Furness, Exeter, and Glasgow offices .

  • Be working towards a relevant Degree or Masters level qualification in civil/structural engineering
