I'm working with an award-winning Nuclear solutions business based in Preston (they also have an office in Warrington) that are currently recruiting for 23x Mechanical Engineers broken down as follows:
11x Senior Mechanical Engineer - £48,000 to £61,500
12x Principal Mechanical Engineer - £61,500 to £80,000
You'd be working on Civil Decommissioning projects in the Nuclear sector such as:
RepU Project - Reprocessed uranium (RepU) in the UK refers to uranium recovered from spent nuclear fuel, primarily at the Sellafield reprocessing plant
TMF Project - The UK Tails Management Facility (TMF) is a facility in Capenhurst, Chester operated by Urenco ChemPlants Limited. It processes depleted uranium hexafluoride, also known as "tails," from Urenco's European enrichment facilities
The FED Project - Assess the potential for domestic manufacturing to support the construction of novel small pebble-bed nuclear reactors
The BEP Project - The "Box Encapsulation Plant (BEP) project" at Sellafield, focuses on managing and storing Magnox reactor waste
The MSSS Project - Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (MSSS) is the most hazardous building on the Sellafield site, so the work of removing the waste and putting it into modern, safe containment packages is a top priority
The PFCS Project - This entails the detailed design, procurement, manufacture, works testing, delivery to site, installation and commissioning of a complex system for cutting access holes into the silo that include shielded access doors, a robotic waste retrieval arm, waste transporters and repackaging plants
The main skills/experience required for these roles are:
Prior experience in Mechanical Engineering (ESSENTIAL)
Experienced in mechanical/manual handling (ESSENTIAL)
Bulk Powder transfer/handling (NICE TO HAVE FOR PRINCIPAL)
Experience of electrolysers, piping, hazardous chemical handling and high-hazard maintenance (NICE TO HAVE FOR PRINCIPAL)
Nuclear sector experience (NICE TO HAVE)
Experienced in using Autodesk Inventor (NICE TO HAVE)
Has a Mechanical Engineering Degree: BEng or MEng (NICE TO HAVE)
Chartered Engineer: CEng (NICE TO HAVE)
These roles are a great opportunity for experienced Mechanical Engineers looking to step into a bigger role and would like to work on nuclear projects.
The roles are hybrid-working of 3x days per week on-site and you must be eligible for SC Clearance to be considered for these positions
