Support complex engineering programmes in the UK and internationally through advanced modelling, simulation, and analytical techniques. This role focuses on applying mathematical, physical, chemical, or process-based modelling approaches to analyse, optimise, and support complex systems and operations across highly regulated industries.
What you will be doing:
Develop and apply simulation and modelling approaches to support engineering, operational, and strategic decision-making.
Build dynamic, process, system, or data-driven models to analyse complex physical, chemical, or industrial systems.
Conduct modelling studies, sensitivity analyses, optimisation, and scenario evaluations to provide technical insight and recommendations.
Work collaboratively with clients and multidisciplinary teams to translate technical challenges into robust modelling frameworks.
Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation communicating modelling methodologies, assumptions, and outcomes.
Use modelling, simulation, and analytical tools such as gPROMS, MATLAB/Simulink, Python, Aspen Plus/HYSYS, AnyLogic, Simul8, or similar platforms.
Contribute to technical innovation, digital engineering, and simulation capability development within highly regulated environments.
Formal qualifications or training:
Degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Computational Science, or a related technical discipline.
Experience in simulation, modelling, systems analysis, or computational engineering within an industrial, scientific, or consultancy environment.
Experience using modelling and simulation tools such as gPROMS, MATLAB/Simulink, Aspen platforms, Python, or equivalent software.
Programming or scripting experience (e.g. Python, MATLAB, Java, C++, or similar) is beneficial.
Experience working in regulated or technically complex industries such as nuclear, energy, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, manufacturing, or defence is desirable.

DBD is an independent global enterprise providing innovative solutions to complex technical, engineering and strategic challenges in highly regulated industries. Our success since launch in 2004 has been built on the quality of our delivery to our Clients, provided by our management and technical expertise. This consistent high quality delivery has led to the establishment of trust based, long term relationships with our Clients.
Since 2004 we have had an unswerving focus on recruitment of leading management and technical specialists who, on average, have over 20 years international experience in front end design, process and systems engineering, commissioning, decommissioning, safety and regulation in the nuclear, power and chemical plant sectors.
Today, our specialists operate across many major processing and power sites, including key nuclear sites in the UK. We also provide services to Clients and Partners in North America, Europe, Japan and South Africa. Whilst we guard our independence fiercely, we work with or alongside most major companies without becoming in any way biased towards any individual technologies, designs or operators.
A key differentiator for DBD is our dedication to building a clear understanding of the Client’s requirement, their objectives and success criteria. The expertise of our personnel underpins this quality-assured approach to all of our work.
