Posted: 10 July
Offer description

Social network you want to login/join with:

As a Thermal-Hydraulic Engineer, you will join our advanced engineering team supporting the analysis and performance optimisation of key nuclear energy systems. You’ll contribute to the development and assessment of complex thermal-fluid systems operating in high-integrity environments, helping shape the core of tomorrow’s sustainable energy technologies.

Your main responsibilities will be:

* Support thermal-hydraulic analysis using RELAP5-3D and similar tools to model nuclear system performance and transients.
* Develop system-level and component-level models from initial concept to fully validated simulation results, including supporting documentation and justification reports.
* Work within integrated project teams, alongside design engineers and safety analysts, to ensure technically robust, efficient, and compliant outcomes.
* Apply structured problem-solving to complex system behaviours, using parametric studies, sensitivity analysis, and scenario modelling.
* Participate in peer reviews, model validation exercises, and technical governance processes to maintain analytical accuracy and quality.
* Contribute to the system design lifecycle by informing design choices, supporting safety assessments, and enabling performance optimisation.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for proactive engineers with a strong background in thermal-hydraulics who thrive on analytical challenges and want to contribute to cutting-edge energy innovation. If you have experience applying RELAP5-3D or similar system codes in regulated environments — and a passion for system-level understanding — you’ll fit right in. We welcome individuals from academic nuclear research.

We’re hiring at multiple levels from graduate early-career engineers with strong simulation potential, to experienced analysts ready to lead key modelling scopes.

You are...

* Passionate about engineering
* result-oriented
* proactive
