About the Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for a Strategic Engineering Lead (Nuclear Reactors) to join our Decommissioning Projects business. Our business is experiencing rapid growth in the civil nuclear site decommissioning arena, and we require more support to deliver and expand on our existing decommissioning expertise.

The Decommissioning business provides an exciting mixture of consultancy, engineering, and project management support, along with delivery of challenging decommissioning-related EPC projects, to major clients in the UK across both the civil nuclear and defence industries, including Dounreay, Sellafield Limited, Urenco, and Magnox. Overseas, we are delivering similarly interesting and exciting projects across the globe, including projects for clients in Central & Eastern Europe and Japan.

We are proud to have supported these clients for many years, and our partnering arrangements will enable us to sustain and enhance this support in the long-term. We also deliver a number of projects for other private companies and academia needing decommissioning solutions.

You will be a senior engineer/consultant with a proven capability to lead and coordinate teams, or provide technical consultancy, to support complex decommissioning challenges. Primary expertise will be in the decommissioning of legacy nuclear facilities (ideally including reactor segmentation and support systems), with skills across wide-ranging strategy, planning, and implementation activities. Understanding of lifetime planning, engineering, radiological, regulatory, and project requirements will be key.

You will have experience in project preparation and delivery, having a good working knowledge of technologies and techniques to deliver legacy facility decommissioning, demolition, and land remediation. Experience in cost estimating, schedule preparation, and risk analysis will be key to the delivery of decommissioning solutions and will be essential for the successful candidate.
