In the UK nuclear sector, they provide specialised civil, structural, and geotechnical design, safety analysis, and project management services.\nOperating in highly regulated environments, their teams focus on delivering practical, low-carbon engineering solutions that support safety, long-term climate resilience, and operational excellence across flagship infrastructure programmes.\nAbout the Opportunity:\nThis role supports Nuclear New Build projects, focusing on Nuclear Island structures for major programmes including Hinkley Point C (HPC) and Sizewell C (SZC). The Structural Engineer / Senior Structural Engineer will combine advanced structural analysis and design with technical coordination, delivery leadership, and site execution support.\nIn this position, you will produce and assure high-quality structural engineering deliverables, coordinate interfaces across international multidisciplinary teams, and ensure nuclear structures comply with strict safety, quality, schedule, and technical standards.\nKey Responsibilities:\nStructural Analysis & Design Execution\nEPR Structural Design: Design and analyse reinforced-concrete and structural steel elements for EPR nuclear power plant buildings.\n\nFinite Element Modeling (FEA): Prepare and independently check complex structural calculations and finite-element models using ANSYS APDL or comparable analysis software.\n\nAction & Load Assessments: Evaluate structural integrity against diverse design actions, including seismic/dynamic effects, impact loads, environmental conditions, and construction sequencing loads.\n\nCode Compliance: Apply international design codes, project specifications, and nuclear standards, including Eurocodes and ETC-C requirements.\n\nDelivery Leadership & Documentation\nProject Governance: Manage assigned engineering workstreams to ensure scope, schedule, quality, and commercial budgets are maintained.\n\nTraceable Records: Draft and review clear, auditable design reports, calculations, structural drawings, and technical specifications, maintaining full design history traceability.\n\nTechnical Assurance: Participate in design reviews, technical checking, and formal approval processes in line with project procedures and delegated authority.\n\nInterface & Team Coordination\nMultidisciplinary Alignment: Coordinate tasks across an international team of engineers and designers, providing technical direction and constructive reviews.\n\nStakeholder Collaboration: Interface closely with engineering leads, BIM/CAD detailing teams, project managers, client representatives, and site contractors.\n\nTechnical Communication: Present complex technical topics clearly to both specialist and non-specialist stakeholders during project reviews and client meetings.\n\nCandidate Profile:\nEssential Requirements & Qualifications\nEducation: Degree (BSc/BEng/MEng) in Civil or Structural Engineering (or equivalent relevant qualification).\n\nReinforced Concrete Design: Substantial experience in the design and analysis of heavy reinforced-concrete structures, backed by a strong understanding of structural behavior and constructability.\n\nFEA Expertise: Practical experience in structural finite-element analysis, specifically using ANSYS APDL or equivalent FEA packages.\n\nStandards & Codes: Working knowledge of Eurocodes and standard structural engineering specifications.\n\nDesign Delivery: Proven experience seeing detailed design deliverables through to construction phase transition.\n\nDesirable Criteria\nAdvanced Qualifications: Master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.\n\nProfessional Chartership: Chartered Engineer status (CEng MIStructE or CEng MICE) or demonstrable progress toward chartership.\n\nNuclear Sector Background: Direct experience in nuclear new build, heavy industry, or highly regulated safety-critical environments.\n\nEPR Standards: Familiarity with ETC-C codes and specific structural requirements for EPR nuclear power stations.\n\nKey Competencies\nSafety & Quality Focus: Rigorous attention to detail with sound engineering judgment and commitment to nuclear safety culture.\n\nTechnical Ownership: Proactive approach to taking responsibility for complex structural challenges and multidisciplinary interfaces.\n\nAdaptability: Willingness to adopt new digital delivery tools, including 3D reinforcement modeling workflows.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4704,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Civil
