Overview
Senior Nuclear Graphite Engineer role at Amentum. We are looking to recruit an experienced nuclear graphite engineer to support life extension of the current AGR fleet of nuclear stations and to continue to develop and deliver a strategy for expanding the client base beyond traditional customers. As part of the Structural Analysis and Assessment Team, you will deliver important solutions to real problems and help meet UK energy demands and carbon emissions targets.
The successful candidate will have a sound nuclear graphite and structural integrity background. You will support current clients as they strive to extend the lifetime of their plant and help develop the Team’s strategy for expanding the client base. We have developed relationships with vendors of new graphite moderated reactor designs and you will develop these relationships using your knowledge of nuclear graphite and your aptitude for business development. The position offers opportunities for career development and leadership roles.
You will be part of our Structural Analysis and Assessment Team. The team comprises a broad range of Engineering and Scientific experts spanning mathematics, physics, structural and mechanical engineering, software development, finite-element stress analysis, and structural integrity analysis and assessment. We provide these services to a range of customers, mainly but not exclusively in the nuclear industry, to ensure the economic and safe operation of capital‑intensive plant, from both government and private industry. We also actively participate in a number of national and international projects and work closely with other parts of the business to provide integrated solutions to client requirements.
The team excels at hybrid working, with some days at home and others in our offices in Warrington, Knutsford and Manchester.
