**Job Description**:
The AECOM Nuclear Structures Team, provide multi-disciplinary consultancy to the nuclear industry in both the nuclear new build and decommissioning sectors. In the new build sector we are providing engineering support to the Developers of the UK’s fleet of new nuclear power stations. In the Decommissioning Sector, which requires considerable new build to enable decommissioning, AECOM provides support to the entire Nuclear Estate, including:

- Multidisciplinary design support at Sellafield
- Early stage development of the Deep Geological Repository
- Design and development of waste storage and disposal facilities
- Multidisciplinary design support to defence projects.

An example project is Sellafield Pile 1 Diffuser Demolition. The project scope was to demolish the Diffuser, a 1450 tonne Reinforced Concrete box section, at the top of the 110m high ventilation stack, located in the heart of a congested nuclear facility. AECOM played a significant role as the Lead Designer responsible for developing a safe demolition strategy for this contaminated structure, demonstrating stability at all stages and designing the associated civil and structural works, mechanical, electrical and process engineering, including the design of the 150m high tower crane, the tallest ever on the Sellafield site. The project challenged the Nuclear Industry’s traditional approach for labour intensive, low risk means of demolition, making use of the tower crane to cut and lift large blocks, arguing that the short term increase in risk would lead to a quicker permanent decrease. This unique demolition is currently on-going, and will be a very visible demonstration of the work being done to make Sellafield a safer place.

**Responsibilities**:

- Working as part of the AECOM Nuclear team from our Westlakes & Warrington offices
- Assisting with engineering calculations
- Producing engineering AutoCAD drawings
- Setting up and operating equipment
- Inspecting equipment and engineering installations for compliance with specifications and maintaining project documentation
- Structural inspections and reporting
- Providing basic support in the areas of project controls, scheduling, scheduling analysis, earned value management, and construction inspection activities in support of projects.

**Qualifications**:
No experience is necessary. This position is ideally suited to school leavers at GCSE or A-Level standard (or equivalent) who can demonstrate:

- Minimum of 5 GCSE’s (or Scottish Standard Grade or Junior Certificate in Ireland) at grade ‘C/4’ or above, including Mathematics & English
- Three A-Levels (or equivalent) including Maths and a physical science at grade 'C' or above - essential for Degree Apprenticeship
- Able to meet requirements for baseline security clearance in the UK
- Show an aptitude towards software-based engineering and drawing e.g. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and other similar 3D software
- Demonstrate an interest
