Principal or Senior Structural Integrity Safety Engineer
- Derby, Manchester, Sheffield, Epsom, Bristol, Glasgow
- Nuclear
Do you enjoy working in safety critical industries? Do you like delivering solutions to technically complex problems? Join us as a Senior / Principal Structural Integrity Safety Case Engineer and play a vital role in assessing the risks for our nuclear clients to help them and us to realise our low carbon energy ambitions, shaping a better future for our planet and its people. A great opportunity to join one of the strongest structural integrity safety case capabilities in the industry working across all key clients.
Your purpose:
On a typical day working in this role, you might be leading a team to produce engineering substantiation or authoring a complex safety case, justifying and supporting the critical decision-making in the design, operation, and/or decommissioning of nuclear facilities. On another day you may be working to influence the client’s strategic direction to address structural integrity challenges associated with new build designs or continued operation of existing assets, networking to develop the business pipeline within your capability or doing a technical presentation to the regulator.
This role will also provide you with the opportunity to work with diverse clients from nuclear generation (Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors and Sizewell B), Rolls Royce Pressurised Water Reactors, nuclear new build such as Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C including innovative players from the fusion and SMR markets. You will be keen to lead technical delivery of projects, address technically complex problems and present the solutions to 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. You will also play a vital role in developing and mentoring junior engineers to further support our growth and improve our capability for project delivery to clients whilst strengthening your leadership skills.
