Overview
Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and mobility services firm. We create and operate intelligent infrastructure and buildings that respond to the climate emergency and contribute to sustainable and resilient development. Our 20,500 employees operate across over 100 countries, delivering innovations and solutions for clients. In the UK we deliver high-profile projects that connect people, protect the environment and support emission reduction targets.
As a result of continued success and growth in the UK, we’re looking for full-time Structural Engineers to join our team working on Nuclear New Build projects, focusing on Nuclear Island buildings of Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and similar projects. You will develop your technical skills on complex nuclear plant structures and collaborate in a multi-cultural environment to deliver outstanding results for our clients.
The Role
As a Structural Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the safety, integrity and reliability of nuclear power plant structures. You will be responsible for the design and structural analysis of reinforced concrete or steel structures.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and analyse reinforced concrete structures for the Nuclear Island Buildings of EPR nuclear power plants.
* Perform structural calculations and Finite Element modelling using ANSYS APDL or similar tools, ensuring compliance with Eurocode, ETC-C and related standards.
* Ensure structural integrity and resilience under various loads, including seismic, dynamic, construction sequence effects and environmental factors.
* Collaborate with detailing, drafting, BIM Coordination and other design teams as well as the technical direction team to ensure coordination and integration of design requirements.
* Conduct calculations and assessments of design changes to determine impact on reinforced concrete structures and propose necessary design modifications.
* Prepare detailed design drawings, specifications and construction documentation for reinforced concrete structures.
* Conduct structural assessments and evaluations during construction and provide technical support as needed.
* Work closely with construction contractors and site teams to resolve structural issues during construction.
* Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers and draftsmen involved in the structural design and detailing process.
* Collaborate with the client, construction team, principal designer and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with nuclear safety regulations.
Note: This job description provides a general overview of responsibilities and requirements for the role. Tasks may vary based on project requirements and organizational needs.
What we need from you
With a background in the nuclear industry or another heavy industry sector, you’ll have an established career in Civil Structural Engineering, ideally with a Masters in Civil Engineering or an equivalent relevant subject.
In Addition, You Will Also Have The Following
* Experience in structural civil work, civil design, RC detailing, steel structures with ETT-C or Eurocodes or other relevant codes.
* Proven experience designing and analysing reinforced concrete structures for nuclear power plants, specifically with European Pressurized Reactors (EPR).
* Sound knowledge of nuclear safety principles, regulations and standards governing design and construction of nuclear structures.
* Proficiency in structural analysis software such as ANSYS, SAP2000 or similar tools.
* Familiarity with Finite Element software such as ANSYS APDL, Robot or similar tools.
* Strong understanding of seismic analysis and design principles for nuclear structures.
* Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
* Prior experience in design and construction of reinforced concrete structures in a nuclear or high-risk industry is highly preferred.
* Knowledge of construction processes, materials and quality control procedures related to nuclear structures.
* Professional licensure or chartered status in Structural Engineering is advantageous.
* Experience with on-site design support: working with contractors on site to deliver engineering solutions.
* Experience with 3D BIM modelling such as TEKLA, Navisworks is a plus.
