You’ll help to grow our technical capability to address a diverse range of problems in a safety critical environment.
Whilst your office base will be in Bristol, flexibility in work location is important – from time to time our clients do call on our team to deliver work from their sites.
The Role:
We work across numerous plant areas, each with different technical challenges, but with a focus on nuclear decommissioning and waste management. These include design and assessment of ILW and LLW retrieval and processing techniques, packaging of waste for transportation and long-term storage, assessment of existing plant and support to the planning and infrastructure required for decommissioning. You’ll be expected to help define the problem, identify an appropriate methodology, and justify the right solution.
You’ll be helping us to develop clients decommissioning plans, design and construction of new build projects; assure the longevity and integrity of existing infrastructure; and deliver innovative consultancy advice to key clients, critical to the success of the global energy market.

A strong mechanical engineering background is essential, as well as an aptitude to develop into new technical areas quickly.
You will be proactive and have excellent communication and presentation skills. You will also have an appreciation of the commercial aspects of consultancy and design projects, to identify project risks and to ensure mitigations are identified and in place.
