Title: Nuclear Structural Integrity Stress Engineer
Salary range: £50,000 to £65,000 pa depending on experience
Location: Burton on Trent (flexible hybrid working, with time split between the office and working from home)
We are looking to recruit engineers experienced in assessing the structural integrity of components, primarily to support growing demand for our services from clients in the nuclear industry. We deliver projects across the life cycle of nuclear programmes from small modular reactors, new builds, fusion, power generation, life extension, defueling and decommissioning.
Primarily using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods, you will conduct strength, fatigue (low cycle and high cycle fatigue), creep and defect tolerance assessments of safety critical parts to help our clients develop new designs, solve their operational problems, and justify the life extension of existing assets.
You’ll also get the opportunity to deliver and lead projects across the whole Frazer-Nash portfolio, supporting our customers in the defence, energy and transport sectors. We support projects that are high value, high performance or safety critical for world-class organisations.
Our projects are very diverse in terms of technical services and durations, which can last from a few weeks to many years of sustained support. You will typically be involved in multiple projects at any one time. You will meet and communicate with customers to understand their requirements and develop the approach to deliver the desired outcomes and insights.
Although primarily a technical role, you will be joining a consultancy where we expect you’ll be able to work across our business and with our clients. Good interpersonal skills are important as is the ability to make structured decisions, solve problems, and show initiative and ownership internally and externally.
Reporting to your Group Leader you will be accountable for your own work and will be provided with support from more experienced engineers when required. You will support others in the team with project delivery, building client relationships and contributing to the capability development. You will have the opportunity to learn new skills and capabilities and for growth in whatever areas of engineering interest you.
