Join Tetra Tech as a Chartered Structural Engineer
Apply your expertise to technically demanding nuclear projects that require precision, compliance, and engineering excellence. This role is designed for an experienced professional who enjoys solving complex problems and delivering high-quality structural design within a highly regulated environment. If you thrive on technical challenges and want to focus on engineering quality rather than people management, this position offers the ideal platform.
Purpose & Scope of the Role
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. You will act as a technical authority within project teams, ensuring designs meet nuclear, industry, and statutory standards while supporting safe and compliant project delivery. The position is centered on hands-on engineering expertise, allowing you to concentrate on complex technical work, independent verification activities, and maintaining the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance.
Your Impact in this Position
Your expertise will play a critical role in enabling safe and reliable nuclear infrastructure. By delivering technically sound design and analysis, contributing to safety case development, and supporting robust engineering decision-making, you will help ensure projects meet the demanding expectations of the nuclear industry. Your input will support multidisciplinary collaboration, strengthen technical assurance processes, and contribute to the successful delivery of projects that operate within strict regulatory frameworks.
