Junior Nuclear Safety Engineer

Do you enjoy working in safety critical industries? Do you like delivering solutions to technically complex problems? Join us as a Junior Nuclear Safety Engineer and play a vital role in assessing the risks for our nuclear clients, helping them and us to realise our low carbon energy ambitions, shaping a better future for our planet and its people.

Salary: £34,000 - £42,000 per annum

Your purpose:

On a typical day working in this role, you might be working as part of a team to produce a hazards assessment of an aircraft crash or authoring a complex modification to nuclear power station design, justifying and supporting the critical decision-making that will bring nuclear power stations online. On another day you may be working to influence the client’s strategic direction to support obtaining a nuclear site licence for their innovative design, networking to develop the business pipeline within your capability or supporting technical presentations to the regulator.

This role will also provide you with the opportunity to work with diverse clients from defence, nuclear generation and nuclear new build including innovative players from the fusion and SMR markets. You will be keen to support technical delivery of projects, address technically complex problems and engage with a range of different stakeholders. You will have the drive to deliver excellent technical work, paying attention to detail without missing out on the bigger picture.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to and learn from the wider technical community within AtkinsRéalis, taking advantage of the global expertise we have to foster collaboration within multidisciplinary engineering teams. There is no shortage of development opportunities within this role, as you may get involved in hazards, safety case or licencing work, join the graduate scheme, with its extensive training opportunities, or strengthen your leadership skills in the near future by mentoring junior engineers.
