Job Description
Full‑time Structural Engineers are needed to work on Nuclear New Build projects, specifically focusing on Nuclear Island buildings of Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and similar projects. As a Structural Engineer you will play a critical role in ensuring the safety, integrity, and reliability of nuclear power plant structures. Responsibilities include design, analysis, and coordination 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 advanced software, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and standards such as Eurocode.
* Ensure structural integrity and resilience under various loads, including seismic, dynamic, impact of temporary works and environmental factors.
* Collaborate with detailing team, drafting team, BIM coordinator and other design engineers to integrate design requirements.
* Conduct calculations and assess design changes to determine impact and propose necessary modifications.
* Prepare detailed design drawings, specifications and construction documentation.
* Perform structural assessments and evaluations during construction, providing 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 design and detailing process.
* Collaborate with the client, construction team and principal designer as well as regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with nuclear safety regulations.
Qualifications
* Background in the nuclear industry or another highly heavy industry sector, with experience in civil structural engineering.
* Master’s degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent relevant subject.
* Experience in structural civil work, RC detailing, steel structures with Eurocodes or other relevant codes.
* Proven experience designing and analysing reinforced concrete structures for nuclear power plants, specifically with European Pressurised Reactors (EPR).
* Sound knowledge of nuclear safety principles, regulations and standards governing design and construction of nuclear plant 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 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 will be a plus.
