Senior Civil Structural Engineer

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Civil, Structural and Architectural (CS&A) team with the UK’s leading supplier to the nuclear industry and a growing global force.

The role has hybrid working arrangements and can be based out of the following locations:

Warrington and Rosyth and Plymouth - (must be happy to be on site at Devonport 3 days per week)

The breadth of their expertise means they are able to offer unrivalled experience and specialist knowledge across all aspects of the nuclear life cycle, from design and build, through operations and maintenance, to decommissioning, waste management and remediation.

You will form a leading role within a dynamic design team undertaking traditional, bespoke and innovative designs of reinforced concrete, steel and masonry structures for nuclear decommissioning and nuclear new build projects, as well as support to operating nuclear sites.

The projects you undertake will principally be in relation to design of structures associated with state-of-the-art mechanical handling equipment and their process and electrical systems, but can also involve stand-alone civil/structural tasks for a range of sectors, for example structural inspections and site surveys, and will be undertaken primarily for sites across UK with some projects based internationally.

Due to the nature of their projects, you will design to various normal and extreme loading scenarios, including seismic design. You will provide technical leadership and expertise and you will take on the role of Technical Lead on specific projects when required.

Due to their vast experience within the nuclear industry, they are often trusted to undertake projects through the entire project lifecycle, and you will therefore have an opportunity to be involved in, or lead projects from initial scheme and concept design, to engineering and detailed design, overseeing construction, right through to eventual decommissioning.
