* Contribute to safety cases, verification, and technical assurance
* Solve complex engineering challenges collaboratively
What’s in it for you
* Work with a global leader known for tackling some of the world's most complex engineering challenges
* Exposure to major nuclear and defence programmes with real‑world impact
* Strong culture of technical excellence, innovation, and sustainability
* Ongoing professional development and support to deepen your expertise
* Flexible career pathways focused on technical specialism
Why apply?

Join a business that invests in its people, values technical mastery, and empowers engineers to make a difference.
