**About the Opportunity**

The Structural Analysis and Assessment Team is looking to recruit a motivated and dynamic Structural Integrity team leader to effectively line manage 6-8 structural Integrity experts. Our capabilities are in demand across the nuclear sector and your role will be to develop and grow these services in support of key client’s requirements across the New Build, Generation and Defence industries. You will also be required to continue to develop and deliver a strategy for expanding the team’s client base beyond its traditional customers and geographies. As part of the team, you will be delivering important solutions to real problems, meeting the UK and international energy demands and carbon emissions targets.

You and your team will be part of our wider Structural Analysis and Assessment Team. The team comprises a broad range of Engineering and Scientific experts spanning mathematics, physics, structural and mechanical engineering, software development, finite-element stress analysis, and structural integrity analysis and assessment. We provide these services to a range of customers, mainly but not exclusively in the nuclear industry, to ensure the economic and safe operation of capital-intensive plant, from both government and private industry. We also actively participate in a number of national and international projects and work closely with other parts of Amentum to provide integrated solutions to client requirements.

The team excels at hybrid working, with some days at home and others in our offices in Warrington, Knutsford and Manchester.
