You could be designing test rigs in support of the development of the UKs nuclear fusion capabilities, carrying out structural integrity assessment of primary plant to keep existing fleet generating, supporting the UK Submarine and SMR programmes, or enabling one of many renewable energy projects across a growing carbon net zero portfolio. You’re likely to be juggling several projects simultaneously, so enjoying being adaptable is a must The constant in this role is the complex nature of the jobs and the chance to provide innovative solutions to a range of problems for several appreciative clients.

Essential criteria:

  • Degree qualified mechanical engineer (or other relevant qualification).
  • Experience in carrying out mechanical engineering substantiation for new designs or existing plant.
  • Experience in writing accurate, detailed, and concise technical reports (e.g., design substantiations, basis of analysis, safety case references).
  • Experience in delivery accountability for mechanical engineering solutions.
  • Comfortable with engaging with existing and prospective clients, working at their sites, and investing time in understanding their issues, goals, and processes.

Please flag if you have experience in any of the following (but still apply if you might enjoy gaining that experience too) -

  • Experience in piping and pressure vessel design and stress analysis.
  • Working, or authoring bids, within a safety critical and heavily regulated environment.
