We are looking for a Chartered Structural Engineer
To apply expertise to technically demanding nuclear projects that require precision, compliance, and engineering excellence.
Role Overview
This role is designed for an experienced professional who enjoys solving complex problems and delivering high-quality structural design within a highly regulated environment.
Working Environment
This role offers flexible and hybrid working arrangements, combining office collaboration with remote working depending on project requirements. You will work within multidisciplinary engineering teams based in Cumbria, with occasional travel to client sites where required.
Due to the nature of the projects involved, the role requires the ability to obtain and maintain UK security clearance, and a full UK driving licence may be required for certain site visits.
Role Scope and Purpose
This role focuses on delivering technically robust structural engineering solutions within the nuclear sector. Working as part of multidisciplinary teams, you will provide specialist design, analysis, and assurance across projects from early concept through to detailed design and implementation.
